Title: MAIL PROBLEMS.
Post by: A41202813GMAIL on 21. May 2015., 18:19:25
(http://i1.minus.com/ip4dB8Ye6oZcj.JPG)

Hello,

I Am Using OUTLOOK 2003 With POP3.

The Application Crashes And Freezes When In The Middle Of Mail Being Received, But Still Continues Working In The Background.

After A While, I Have To Abort It Using The TASK MANAGER, And Restart It Again And Again And Again.

Besides Being A Major Annoyance, I Think It Does What It Is Supposed To, In The End.

Any Clues Out There ?

Thank You.

Are You Talking About The Event Viewer ?

I Have Several Drivers For The Network Connection, And Will Try 1 By 1.

Thank You.

Yeah, event viewer. I would first try looking for Outlook-related entries.

The Change Of Drivers Did Not Solve The Problem, Either.

Do you have installed the latest Service Pack?

"Office 2003 - Service Pack 3": http://scforum.info/index.php/topic,1029.0.html

Absolutely.

Since The SUMMER Of 2009 I Do Not Trust M$ Anymore, So, I Have Downloaded All The Major Files I Need, To Install Them OffLine Whenever Necessary.

Since APRIL 2014, My Distrust Became Amply Justified, Because *Normal Users* Are Now Blocked From Downloading Old Software Designed For XP.

They Can Not Download IE8, Anymore.

They Can Not Download IE7, Anymore.

Only IE6.

pos Company.

Thank You.

Absolutely.

Ok that's good. Then, did you try to repair Office?


1. Open Outlook, click on "Help" (tab), start "Office Diagnostic"... and follow systems instructions.

or

2. Open Control Panel / Add or Remove Programs, find and click on Microsoft Office 2003, click on "Change", choose "Repair" option... and follow systems instructions.


P.S.

I'm 100% sure that this will work on Office 2007, but not so sure for 2003.

Hmmm... well, maybe some Add-ins cause these problems.


Let's try on this way:

- Start Outlook in Safe Mode:

Quote


- Hold the CTRL button on your keyboard when clicking the Outlook shortcut on your Desktop, Start Menu, Start Screen or Taskbar, Outlook will detect this and asks if you want to start Outlook in Safe Mode.

(https://cdn.ablebits.com/_img-blog/outlook-not-responding-solutions/outlook-safe-mode.png)

*This method works in all versions of Windows and for all versions of Outlook.

If you are able to work without any issues then it is due to problem with add-ins.



- If that is the case, follow the steps below and disable add-ins in Outlook 2003:

Quote


1. Tools-> Options…-> tab Other-> button Advanced Settings…

2. Press the “Add-In Manager…” or “COM Add-Ins…” button depending on which add-ins you want to enable/disable

3. For some add-ins you’ll need to restart Outlook for changes to take effect.



- If the above step does not fix the issue, create new profile and check on that way: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/829918


cya later,

Title: M$ OUTLOOK 2003 PROBLEMS ( PART2 ).
Post by: A41202813GMAIL on 27. January 2017., 17:11:33
Hello,

In The Last Few Days I Changed ISP Providers.

I Had An ADSL Connection With The Old 1, And, Now, I Have A FIBER Connection With The New 1.

I Can Send Messages, But I Can Not Receive Any.

I Get Error Code 0x800408fc.

Is It Related With IPV6, Or Something ?

Any Help Would Be Appreciated.

Thank You.
Title: Re: MAIL PROBLEMS.

Maybe this will help: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/b32b2b37-7851-44a9-b9e1-058e415c4ff7/error-0x800408fc-in-outlook-2010?forum=outlook

So yup, it might be an IPv6 related error if your ISP gives you an IPv6 Address but you haven't installed IPv6 support on your computer.

This has helped me in the past, even on older software... If you still have the installation media, export or save your pst files, uninstall and delete most installation related folders from program files, user profiles and common areas... restart and do a clean install of the software (and any service packs) re-create your account and import your PST file... this usually cleans it up for me...

Title: PROBLEMS CONNECTING GOOGLE MAIL AND M$ OUTLOOK.
Post by: A41202813GMAIL on 15. November 2021., 18:50:32
There Is A Security Setting In GOOGLE MAIL That Enables/Disables The Possibility Of Third Party Low Security Applications To Access Their MAIL.

It Has Happened To Me Several Times With M$ OUTLOOK.

Since GOOGLE Disables That Setting, From Time To Time, You Have To Check The Setting And Change It, If Necessary, On A Regular Basis.

Good Luck.

The Service Is Forever Discontinued.

My Brother Said He Is Using A Competitor Service From MOZILLA ( THUNDERBIRD ? ) But I Have Not Tried It, Yet.
