Hi All
forgive my ignorance if this post is not in correct section but my head is
exploding under the problem i am trying to fix with Outlook 2002.(Please feel
free to tell me if it needs moving to another section,spent 30 mins trying to
figure out where to post this!!!!)
I was using outlook 2002 with no problems when i was living in the uk about
6 months ago but have now moved to South Africa .I have set-up all my email
address(es) , pop3 and smpt fields fields correctly (comes back all correct
when click on ''test account settings''),
I always get the same error message immediatley i click the send/recieve
tab-''The operation failed''.
This message come up immediatley i press the ''Send/Recieve'' tab on the
toolbar(no waiting at all!!!).
(I know for certain that one of the accounts is identical to my partners
account which she accesses through Outlook Express with no problem
whatsoever!!).
I have seen that if i access the tools menu and send from the individual
email accounts(two on there) they send and recieve perfectly!!???
I also think the following are related problems:
When i change the ''Disable Schedule Send/Recieve '' on the tools menu the
identical error message( ''The operation failed'')come up as above(same quick
response as well)
When i try to change the ''Send and Recieve Settings'' on the tools menu it
does nothing(no response).
By the way i get exactly the same problem when i use Outlook Express as my
default email client??i click the send/recieve tab-''The operation failed''.
This message come up immediatley i press the ''Send/Recieve'' tab on the
toolbar(no waiting at all!!!)).
The only things i can think that is different from when i used Outlook 2002
correctly last ,was i downloaded a trial version of Office 2007 which i have
now taken off as it was only a trial which i never got round to using(seemed
to find that i wasnt able to access any functions/processes ?).Also i now do
not have MS Word as i use Open Office.
Well thats my problem has any techie people got on any sort of simple
sounding solutions as im a bit of a technophobe and still having have
problems getting use to the calculator age!!!!
Please Please Please can anyone let let me know if the problem can ever got
sorted.Tried going through Microsoft but seems im not registered to get
support for this product!!!! (Think twice about there email clients in
future!!!).I need it to sync with a PDA i have otherwise i would swap for
another email client . as im sure its the same problem im having?
Many regards and hope your able to give a bit of light on the problem
