Outlook 2010 cannot send/receive mail AND states mailbox is being optimized due to upgrade AND outlook hotmail connector needs updating.

As of 2014-March, the same thing happening on my system. This seems to have occurred, after the latest batch of 28 patches (including SP2 - KB2687455) from Microsoft Updates applied on 13-Mar-2014 and 19-Mar-2014. I have been running Outlook 2010
since it was first available.
An unhelpful error is thrown, after trying to manually perform a Send/Receive:
Not Implemented
While in Outlook 2010, clicking FILE > INFO reveals the following warnings in red:
"Upgrade in Progress. Your mailbox is currently being optimized as part of upgrade to Outlook 2010. This one time process may take over 15 minutes and performance may be affected while the optimization is in progress."
There's an "Upgrade Now" button but it fails to produce any visible result. Next to the button, another warning in red:
"You must upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Hotmail Connector to continue using this e-mail account."
Again, I do not have the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed. Nor have I recently upgraded to Outlook 2010.
I am unable to access ANY account settings, as well as poll my various mailboxes.
While reviewing the list of installed updates (Control Panel > Programs and Features > View Installed Updates), there are 28 approximate patches -
specifically, Service Pack 2 (KB2687455) - that were recently applied to Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010.
Microsoft, what the #$%# is going on?
I've read some related posts that suggest the core issue is other than what Outlook is reporting. The posts recommend the following. However, in my case, the below steps did not correct the
issue. In fact, the new profile would not allow me to view/manage the associated accounts or data files.
(1) Remove your current Outlook Profile. No worries - this doesn't affect your mail data (.PST files):
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/remove-a-profile-HP010356455.aspx
(2) Create a new Outlook Profile:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/outlook-help/introduction-to-profiles-HA010355553.aspx
Note: Outlook complained "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x80040154." However, exiting the Mail config window and relaunching shows that the new profile is intact.
(3) If you previously had the Outlook Hotmail Connector installed, reinstall it. If not, then just ignore and the warning should go away after creating a new Profile.
32-bit connector: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=24677

I was able to resolve this issue as follows. However, why it occurred is unknown at this time and
unrelated to a corrupted Outlook Profile, as mentioned on my prior post. It seems highly probable that it was caused by the recent batch of Microsoft Updates for this product which included Service Pack (SP) 2.
1) Performed a "repair" of Outlook 2010, via the Control Panel > Programs and Features.
2) Rebooted.
3) Prior to launching Outlook, returned to Control Panel > Mail and configured the location of my PST file (not in default directory).
4) Had to reestablish as off my mail accounts, settings/preferences/etc. This step was the most tedious and frustrating.

Cannot send/receive mail and stored notes disappeared

Suddenly lost all stored notes-theicon is there and i can make new notes, but all of my stored ones disappeared along with my mail stopped coming and going. I have powered on and off several times, deleted and reset email account, and I still cannot get or send mail! I received mail this morning, then out of nowhere it stopped. I was unable to send emails for the past few days as well. I only did the ios6.1 update after noticing these problems this morning, hoping that would restore my emails and notes but it did not. Help??

if your syncing notes with icloud go to settings>icloud turn notes off and then back on.
also log in to icloud.com from a computer and check to make sure your notes are there.

Icloud won't let me buy more storage and I am full, cannot send/receive mail!

I lost my icloud free storage today and cannot get mail. Each time I try to buy an upgrade, I get an error that my credit card is incorrect, or that credit card processing isnt available.... I'm stuck!

Outlook 2010 Cannot Send To One Contact

A couple days ago my sister no longer receives emails from my desktop. I tried sending from a business account that I have - it went. I fired up my laptop, sent an email - it went, so the problem seems to be in the desktop The laptop is on the same internet
connection as the desktop. I ran the pst repair tool. It found a couple minor problems which I told it to repair. . I know if I delete and reinstall the account the problem would probably be gone but I would like to try to discover and repair the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please tell her to check virus scanner or 3rd party anti-spam tools, this may cause the not receiving email problem.
Please also have her go to Junk E-mail Options in Outlook ->
HOME -> Junk, set the level of junk e-mail protection to
No Automatic Filtering.
We can refer to this article below, which includes some useful troubleshooting steps when we encounter the issue that emails are not delivered:

Cannot Connect to Port 26 - Cannot Send/Receive Mail

I have Maverick on my MacBook Pro.
All of a sudden, with NO CHANGES MADE to my system, my email no longer works. I cannot send or receive. I get the error:
===========
The server “mail.mydomainnamel.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Sending from: [email protected]
=============
I use port 26 to send. Receiveing is mail.mydomain.com
OSX recently updated. Could that of screwed up my settings or broke something?
My internet proider says the issue is not on their end.
Any help would be appreciate.
Patrice

Ok, I rechecked my router page by page and have found one solution .. .the https management page of the router defaults to 443 - so have changed that to 4443, rebooted router and can now access my http://mydomain/owa - so that is good. However, still
cannot telnet to port 25 on the exchange server from external. The port forwarding is definitely correct for port 25.
I have rechecked the receive connector: MAIL FLOW - RECEIVE CONNECTORS - DEFAULT FRONTEND SERVER
and under security - anoymous users is checked. That SHOULD let me connect yes? But it does not.
Where else does this need to be changed - can you advise?

Cannot send/receive mail locally for cronie [solved]

I installed the heirloom-mailx package so cronie can send messages but I cannot send a test message to myself.
% echo "test" | mailx -s "test message" mags
/usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory
"/home/mags/dead.letter" 9/210
. . . message not sent.
So I installed ssmtp after searching but that does not work either.
% echo "test" | mailx -s "test message" mags
% send-mail: Cannot open wallflower:25
My /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf:
# /etc/ssmtp.conf -- a config file for sSMTP sendmail.
# The person who gets all mail for userids < 1000
# Make this empty to disable rewriting.
root=mags
# The place where the mail goes. The actual machine name is required
# no MX records are consulted. Commonly mailhosts are named mail.domain.com
# The example will fit if you are in domain.com and you mailhub is so named.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Outlook 2010 performs send/receive task twice

I've searched the net all over and found no other mention of this problem, so here I go. When I do a send/receive check, first I quickly get a 5 of 15 tasks completed successfully, then I get what I've set the program up for, and that's my 10 of 10 task
completed successfully. If I remove all tasks for my 10 of 10, both the 5 0f 15 and the 10 of 10 disappear, but when I set up my 10 receives only again, the 5 of 15 returns as well. Is there anyway to correct this and only have a 10 of 10 send/receive
task? Thanks!!!

Hello,
This usually happens due to several reasons like if you have enabled a Virus Scanner, which comes as an inbuilt feature with the Microsoft Outlook. It can also happen if you have set “send/receive interval” quite short or “server timeout” as low.
So one by one you can check for all the three causes and overcome them with the recommended solution:
Solutions: 1. Disable Add-ins
Go to “File”-> “Section Options”-> “Sections Add-Ins”
From the “Manage” list, select the type of add-in you want to disable.
Click “Go” & proceed with the changes.
Restart Outlook.
2. Set “Short send/receive interval”
Go to “send/receive ” button-> “Show progress”. If there are more than two tasks shown per an email account. Then interval time needs to be changed, which by default is set to 30 minutes. To check it,
Move to “File”-> “Options”-> “Advanced”-> “send/receive”
Change the “Schedule an automatic send/receive every _ (more than 5 minutes) minutes.
3. Increase Server timeout.
Go to the “Account settings”. Double click on the configured file.
Move to the “advanced settings”tab.
Check the server time. Increase it up to 2 or 3 minutes.
Note: Do not set it below 1 minute.

Cannot send/receive mail on POP or httpmailm

A couple weeks ago I had no problem with sending/receiving hotmail using the httpmail 1.5 plug in. I have NEVER been able to configure a POP account.
Having two MacBooks side by side with the same OS 1.5.3 the other mac book was able to configure. I used the utility and checked permissions, this is when the httpmail stopped.
Now what??

The plugin no longer works and will not be updated.

Cannot send/receive mails anymore with BB9300

Hi, since the last 2 weeks, mails do not arrive to nor leave anymore from BB 9300.
When I try to change my mail address, I cannot access the server
Error message is "your terminal encounters a problem when trying to connect to the application server"
What should I do to fix the problem ?
Thank you

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books (pre-BB10 devices only)
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. IF this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Cannot send/receive mail on POP account

Sorry I read previous threads about hotmail.
I have been trying to configure a pop account and an exchange account and have been unable to do such. Using a different macbook with OS 10.5.3 I was able to successfully. Any ideas what the issue might be or how to resolve?

Hi! If you have done it successfully on another Mac then use it to confirm the settings on each mail setup page including the advanced options to make sure every field is correct. Tom

Outlook 2010 wont send emails with attachments

Hello
I was starting to write the question when we found out what the problem was. So I thought I would share our resolution in here, in case someone fall in the same issue.
One of my user with Outlook 2010 cannot send emails with attachments of some size. +-50 kb files works fine.
But when we try a file of 1mb, the mail goes in the Outbox, Exchange status swith from Connected to Disconnected and the email stay there.
The user is in a remote location, connected through VPN with the network where the Exchange 2013 server is
Here is what I did:
1. Re-create Outlook profile: wont work
2. Re-create Windows profile: wont work
3. Check ip settings: fine
4. Try in OWA: wont work
5. Look at Exchange settings for outgoing email size: 10mb
6. Load my user's Outlook profile on another LAN: works fine
That last point made me thought about a potential problem on the remote user's lan. So I did
7. Check VPN config between the remote site and IT site: fine
After googling the problem, I found that website (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/396793-outlook-2010-client-suddenly-showing-disconnected-from-2013-exchange-server) that suggest to change the DNS setting on the client. However, the DHCP of my remote
user was the router itself, which is giving a DC as primary DNS, and ISP DNS as secondary. I changed the secondary DNS for another DC in our organization, and guess what? Voila! Problem is gone!
Thinking about it that make not much sense, as the primary DNS is always up the secondary shouldn't be queried. But that's what resolved our problem.
Hope it helps someone!
Martin

I can't send mails from my outlook 2010 but can receive, please help.

Mac mail works perfectly fine so I don't want to screw it up by altering anything there.
However, I've checked to make sure I didn't miss anything on Outlook, but it still won't send messages. I don't know if I need to fill the "Unqualified domain" field?

I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated!

Outlook cannot send e-mail. Error: 530 Authentication Required

Hello everyone,
I'm new at this so I'm confused. E-mails are sitting in my out box but I'm not getting any error messages. When i trouble shoot e-mail settings, I get this error message: "Cannot send the message. 530 Authentication Required." I would appreciate any and all help.

Hey, Community Girl! I just spent 2 days ripping my hair out over this same issue... The answer was maddeningly simple/stupid. In Outlook... they ASK for your "user name" and "Password" (on the More Settings Tab). What they
actually WANT is your "email address" NOT your "user name", followed by your password. This is easy.. I hope it works the same for you.
In Outlook, go to Tools, Email Accounts, View or Change, click Next. Highlight account information and click change. In the lower right of the page... Click More Settings.
Click the Outgoing Server Tab.
Check the My outgoing server SMTP requires authorization.
Check Log on Using:
User Name: Do NOT type your user name here... type your email address!
Password: Type in your password.
Check the Remember password box. OK
That one small change FIXED 2 days of hair pulling on my part... I hope that does it for you too.
Let me know... I'd be interested if you fixed it. Wish they had actually asked for what they wanted... User Name or Email Address ARE two different things! Good luck!
South Texan, you're a genius! This 530 Authentication error has plagued me for 3 years now; when I call my internet service, they say it's a router firewall issue; when I call them, they say it's not their issue. Changing the User Name field to
my email address instead of my user account name worked!!!!! Thank you!!

I receive emails but cannot send e mails

I have no trouble receiving e mails but I cannot send e mails
This problem has just recently occured

Hi, I'm getting the same problem. I just replaced my old Ipad to new one, and the configurations are exactly the same,
But when I send an e-mail, there is a message telling that this message was not sent . It was generated one copy into out box, and doesn't send. Still there.
Smtp is the same, the pop3 also. I receive all e-mails but can't send any.
Regards,

Outlook 2010 cannot send/receive mail AND states mailbox is being optimized due to upgrade AND outlook hotmail connector needs updating.
