Re: Outlook 2003 - error (0x80070057)



Have you turned on Diagnostic Logging? Do so, and send something out, verify that is is not received and then post the relevant portions of the error log that show the problem (will probably have a "failed" somewhere).

After furious head scratching, Joe asked:

| three email addresses (all on the same ISP, though), and they all
| behave the same way.
|
| My ISP swears it it not a problem on their end (and judging by the
| number of people here who report similar behavior. I suspect my ISP
| may be right); however, they only support OE and webmail--so they
| will give me no help in seeking a solution.
|
| At this point, I'm convinced it's a bug in Outlook that is not ISP
| specific, so I'm trying to decide which alternate mail program to
| switch to.

|||
