Common Outlook issue  and Ways to Fix Them

If you can't send or receive emails through Outlook, what would you do? For all Outlook users, this would be a matter of grave concern. So, everybody is starting to look for ways to solve the problem as quickly as possible. You can solve most of the Outlook errors just by restarting your system, checking account settings, using PST checking, etc. But there are some mistakes to undo that require explicit methods.

 

We'll be going through some common Outlook errors in this article, their causes, and methods to solve them. So, we have listed some common Outlook errors in the section below, along with the reasons for their occurrence.

 

  1. Outlook Link Error - Invalid Target Machine Name Invalid

You must have experienced a related error in Outlook once in a while. Typically, the reason behind this error is an invalid target machine entry or an incorrect IP address.

   Outlook Error Codes: 0x80070002, 0x8004210B, and 0x800CCC0F

Often there are errors with a particular error code in the Outlook prompt. The alphanumeric structure of these error codes makes users wonder what exactly went wrong.

For Outlook users, error messages with codes like 0x80070002, 0x8004210B, and 0x800CCC0F are generic. In a more detailed way, we will discuss these three mistakes.

 

  1. Error 0x80070002

PST corruption is the key reason behind this mistake. As we all know that PST is a data file where all the mailbox objects are held in Outlook. If your PST associated with your current Outlook profile gets corrupted, the 0x80070002 error is most likely to occur.

 

Either using a manual approach or with the help of third-party tools, you can correct your PST corruption problem.

 

  1. Sending Recorded Error- 0x8004210B

A Sending Recorded Error (0x8004210B) means that it is difficult for the remote server that holds your Outlook emails to quickly retrieve instructions. When sending or receiving emails, users face this mistake. Other explanations that could contribute to this error are: Windows Registry Invalid Entries, Virus Intrusion, Install Errors, etc.

 

  1. Error 0x800CCC0F 0x800CCC0F

This error occurs in Outlook as users attempt to send/receive emails. Some of the root causes behind the error are Internet connection problems, Outlook-to-server firewall blocking connectivity, PST corruption issues, etc.

 

  1. Error Time-Out 0x800ccc19

An invalid SMTP or POP port value is one of the prominent reasons behind this mistake. If you have configured the Outgoing (SMTP) server to function without encryption, but have given an invalid port number value, you can encounter a timeout error. Other explanations can include incorrect device file configuration, firewall settings, Internet access problems, etc.

 

  1. Denied Access-Outlook Data File

outlook cannot access data files sometimes; this typically occurs when you try to open an Outlook data file on a separate device. Fortunately, with the aid of some simple manual methods, you can rectify this issue, such as changing the Outlook data file location, launching Outlook with administrative privileges, etc.

 

7)Unable to access attachments from Outlook

For Outlook users, attachment errors are common; Outlook typically blocks attachments from unknown senders for data protection reasons. It is also possible to block attachments due to unrecognized file formats, suspicious attachments, corrupt files, etc.

With the aid of some common configuration changes, you can work this problem out.

 

8) Error: Outlook.pst is not a private file with folders

When attempting to open Outlook, this error appears to pop out. However, the primary explanation for this is PST corruption. Since the file is corrupt and can no longer be reached, Outlook clearly denies the presence of PST.

 

9) Timeout error for POP server- 0x8004210aa

This error often happens because of the POP server's incorrect timeout settings. To be more specific, Outlook uses a pre-defined time period to send/receive email messages and Outlook throws a Server Timeout Error 0x8004210a when you try to send/receive a large number of emails. Changing the timeout settings or temporarily uninstalling the antivirus software you are currently using on your device is the primary method of fixing this mistake.

 

10) Cyclic Redundancy Check Outlook Error

Usually, this kind of error indicates that there are some issues on the disk where your Outlook PST is located. This doesn't have anything to do with your email client, rather it specifies bugs on your hard drive. Some common troubleshooting techniques can be used to fix your local hard drives.

 

Common Fixes for Outlook Bugs and Errors

1 Check the connectivity of the Internet

Interrupted internet connections can lead to errors like 0x800CCC0F, 0x8004210a and 0x8004210a. Evite a low bandwidth Internet connection and use a reliable Internet connectivity source on your system.

 

2 Avoid access to suspicious emails

Emails or email attachments from unknown senders may pose potential threats to your system. For example, a virus-infected email can crash your Outlook program and corrupt a number of important system files. You can use a reliable antivirus program to block external threats, or you can delete suspicious emails in the first place.

 

3 Check the settings for antivirus

Check your antivirus settings for email scanning. Some configuration changes or antivirus default features may restrict the connectivity of your Outlook to the server. You can either manually disable these features from your antivirus program or you can temporarily uninstall the antivirus from your machine.

 

4 Reset Outlook

You can fix installation errors and common software failures by reinstalling your Outlook client. In the event of an Outlook crash, reinstalling the application is the most recommended way to fix the issue.

 

5 Change the Time-Out Settings for Server

You can manually increase the time span of your Outlook program's connectivity to the server. Usually, a shorter server time-out period can cause multiple errors. To change your Server Time-Out settings, follow the instructions provided below.

 

Launch Outlook and navigate >> Info to Files.

Click Account Settings >> Settings for the account.

Select the target account for POP3 and then click the Change button.

Click More Settings in the Change Account window.

Go to the Advanced tab and increase the timeout period for the server.

 

6 Email Clear or Transfer from Outlook Folder

Overloading of data may be a cause for Outlook failure. To maximize the performance of your Outlook application, clear unwanted files from the outbox and trash folders.

 

7 Correct the corruption of PST by third-party tools

You can always look for third-party tools to fix the problem if your Outlook PST is corrupt or impaired. Inbox Repair, aka ScanPST.exe, is offered by Microsoft as a free utility. However, using a third-party repair tool is recommended for badly corrupted PST files. 

Outlook PST Repair Kernel is an efficient tool that helps users fix any issue associated with PST file corruption. It has no limited file size. And unavailable attachments can be retrieved from your Outlook emails.
