sending receiving, out of memory

[Tom C]

I have two email accounts set up on my Outlook 2002. My default email sends
and receives fine. My secondary email seems to receive but not send. I get
the following error message.
"Task myemail @nospam.com- Sending and Receiving' reported error
(0x8007000E) : 'Out of memory or system resources. Close some windows or
programs and try again.'"

It was working fine up until yesterday. I have not changed anything, it just
quit sending.
Any help is appreciated...Tom

Both POP accounts and Outlook fully patched?

I would actually recreate the profile and accounts first.

Otherwise:

I tried everything mentioned and nothing worked. So i deleted the profile
again and created a new and different profile, using a different user name,
but same password. Everything worked as it should, no problems.
So i went back to the profile and just changed the user name back to the
profile I was having problems with. After I changed the user name i started
getting the out of memory error again. I don't understand how only a user
name could cause this problem.
Could it be a problem with my isp, or maybe my website host? I wouldnt think
the isp and web host would have anything to do with the problem, but maybe
it could. Thanks for the help,
Tom

Are you referring to a Windows user profile here or an Outlook mail profile?
I suspect the former. Mr. Lefkovics was suggesting the latter.

I hate to admit it, but I am not sure of the differrence.
In my Outlook email accounts I have two accounts. One of them is an email
account that my isp offers. I have no problem with that account.
The other account is from my web host company and that is the account that
zseems to have an issue with the memory. However it does seem like it is
sending and recieving mail, but it throws up an error message that is very
annoying. thanks tom

Outlook accounts are one of several types. The four most common are "POP",
"HTTP", "IMAP", or "Exchange".

But accounts and mail profiles aren't the same thing and it was suggested to
you to start with a new mail profile and add your accounts back in. See if
this helps:

Thanks you for the website. I looked at both of my email accounts and they
both have POP3 incoming servers and SMtp outgoing mail servers. I will print
out the website you sent and see if i can get it working. I think both
accounts use the same pst file. If i have each account use a seperate pst
file, would i have to check each account seperately or would it chack both
accounts at the same time?....tom

If you have both accounts in the same profile it will check them both during
each send/receive cycle unless you modified your send/receive group
definition. Both accounts do use the same PST, but you can change that if
you wish by using rules to sort the incoming mail into separate folders,
which can be in the same or different PSTs.

I deleted the account i had created and just had the one account from my
isp. I checked my email and it worked as it should. There was no problem
with that.
I created another account the way the website suggested. When i opened
outlook it gave me a choice of profiles to open, which is fine. Does this
mean I will have 2 pst files? I done a search for *.pst and only found one
pst file and I am not even sure it is the original file. My pst is very
large and the one from the search isnt but 48k. The search shows it being in
the Doc and setting????/?????/outlook. When i had backed up my pst file in
the past it was huge. However when i look for it through windows explorer i
cant see it. Are the pst files hidden?
Anyway, when i went to the new profile, it did check and recieve my email,
but it came up with the out of memory message afterwards. Should i maybe
unintall and reinstall outlook?
thanks and have a good day, ttom

Then you didn't create a new account. You created a new mail profile.
Accounts are created with the "E-mail Accounts" button when you cretae the
profile (in Control Panel's Mail applet) or with Tools>E-mail Accounts>Add a
new e-mail account>Next in Outlook itself.

Does this mean I will have 2 pst files?

Only if you created two PSTs. Multiple profiles can use the same PST, since
you can't have more than one profile open at any one time.

I done a search for *.pst and only
found one pst file and I am not even sure it is the original file.

The default location for PSTs is the (hidden) folder
%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

My pst is very large and the one from the search isnt but 48k. The
search shows it being in the Doc and setting????/?????/outlook. When
i had backed up my pst file in the past it was huge. However when i
look for it through windows explorer i cant see it. Are the pst files
hidden?

Not the PSTs themselves, but the folder where they're created by default.

Anyway, when i went to the new profile, it did check and recieve my
email, but it came up with the out of memory message afterwards.
Should i maybe unintall and reinstall outlook?

Perhaps something else if producing this effect in Outlook. Restart your PC
and after logging in, immediately hold down the Shift key for a while until
your desktop has stabilized. This will start WIndows without any of the
Startup processes, either from the Startup folder or from the various Run
keys in the registry. Then start Outlook and try again with the failing
account. If you no longer get the error then something else you're running
is the real culprit. You can use Start>Run>msconfig to disable all the
startup processes and add them back in one at a time, retrying Outlook each
time, until you find what may be happening.

It gave the option to create a new email account when i went through the
control panel. I only saw add a new email account, nothing about a new
profile. When i first added my secondary email account over a year ago, i
went thorough Tool/Email accounts and it has been working fine. I see the
same procedure windows asking for the same things, weather i go through the
control panel or Tools/Email account

I will try this doing this because it had been working fine for a long time.
I have a lot to learn...thanks for your help...tom

I was able to get a cd rom drive working in my friends computer. There were
some multiple problems and one may have caused the other, I just don't know.
Maybe one of you would know. The cd rom drive was bad. I put the bad drive
in one of my computers and it done the same thing in mine as it did my
friends computer. I did check the power cable and ide ribbon using the good
cd rom and determined that the cables were good, however the IDE 2 is bad.
Nothing would work coming out of IDE 2. Dell has everything so tight in the
box that I had to go get a longer ide cable so I could daisy chain the hard
drive with the cd rom. I set the cd rom to slave and booted it up and
everything worked fine.
I am updating her virus definitions as I type and then I will run Adware and
hijackthis to make sure she is good to go.
Since the IDE2 went out, is that a good indication that she may want to
start looking for another computer? I bought her a used cd rom drive so her
daughter could continue her school work and it wouldn't cost her much to
keep this computer going a little longer.
Thanks to everyone for helping me in this learning process. I appreciate
eveyones help.

the control panel. I only saw add a new email account, nothing about
a new profile.

There was no Show Profiles button? Click it and you'll then see an Add
button to add a new profile.
