Outlook 2003 connectivity under Vista: error 0x80040900
I am have just migrated my mail to a new Vista box with Outlook 2003
installed. All my accounts are correctly configured and ALL fail to connect with a "xx_account - Receiving reported error (0x80040900) " The curious thing is that if I shut down Outlook and test the accounts via the Vista control panel (User Accounts | Mail), they ALL connect perfectly!! So the issue seems to be specifically related to my Outlook. Can anyone assist me please? P. P.S. For the record, Outlook IS defined as my default email client |

The Test button in the Account dialogue doesn't do a complete end-to-end test. The error you describe indicates a problem locating the server you've defined, indicating a domain name issue, perhaps. Can you telnet to the POP server? Here are soem general troubleshooting techniques: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514 -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

Here are soem general troubleshooting techniques: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813514 Thanks Brian ... bit of a delay coming back on this one but I got it working ... for the record the problem was related to the Firewall settings in my anti-virus software(Kaspersky). I shut EVERYTHING off .. had to restart (didn't work without this operation) then it worked .. and brought all the virus/firewall functinally back into play bit by bit .... and it kept working. Curiously enough I am back at precisely the same original settings in KasperskY!! However I think another grenlin might have been windows mail which was configured on the Vista box before I installed Outlook 2003. P. |
