Have you rebooted? If so, find and delete the SRS file for your profile.

Doesn't matter what worked before. That's too short an interval so there's a
good chance you'd corrupt your settings or account that way. Recreate your
settings properly after you delete your SRS files.

I am having the same problem with Outlook 2007. What is the SRS File
and where is it?

Many Thanks

That contains the Send/Receive Settings data and it's in
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook (a hidden folder).

Ron Boetger

Well I deleted the SRS file. That did not work. Then I deleted the
user account and deleted the new SRS file and that still did not work

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Did you try a new mail profile? I can't go back through the thread to see
if you said that before.

Brian Tillman

Ron Boetger said:
Yes I wiped out the user and recreated it from scratch - Still no
good.

Not what I said, creating a new Windows user should also require creation of
a new mail profile, so I guess I can't suggest anything else.
