MAJOR ISSUE: Outlook stopped sending emails today and I am panicking!
Outlook 2010 has worked without issue for more than a decade. Today, I was trying to change my DNS service and the problem first occurred after I changed a few E-mail account settings and clicked ‘Test account settings’. This issue I am having is that when I try sending an email, I get: Task 'Pair of Docs Email - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'
Based on what I read, I turned off the firewall, restarted Outlook, but same thing. Note that I do not have AV running on this machine, so that is not the issue. The problem is not the ISP since I was able to send email from another computer and I am still receiving email.
I ran scanpst on my outlook.pst file, but nothing was found. I also installed the demo version of Wondershare RepairIt and it claimed to have found something, but would not save the modified pst file unless I bought the program. Also, it started popping up a ton of browser windows that pointed to the same page, but they never appeared.
I then renamed the outlook.pst file and replaced it with a month-old backup copy, but I still had the exact same issue. I have checked the account stings and they all seem to be correct. I even rebooted the computer, but that didn’t help. I tried starting Outlook in safe mode, but got the same error. Some stuff talked about the ost file, but I am unable to locate such a file on my computer.
What on earth is going on????
