I can't give you any hints, but I have exactly the same problem with
Outlook 2003. I'm using four accounts from the same ISP, and as I type
this two of them work ok, two don't. Earlier today three of them did
and one didn't, and it was a different one. I'm running Outclass for
spam filtering, but don't know if that could be affecting it. It
happens in either training mode or normal mode. Since I typed this I'm
now having one of them failing, and for a few minutes none did.

I'll note that this same ISP will give Outlook (any version I've
tried) with certain spam that contains weird characters or something.
Similar failure, but with POP3. It is a Unix-based ISP and I don't
have any problem with it and Mac OS X.

I know, it's shotgun information, but hopefully there's some
commonality in the setup and we can start to narrow it down.

BTW, this is the only hit that Google gave for "0x8004DB0F", and it
doesn't appear anywhere on MSDN/Microsoft web site either.

I have the same problem too..:-(

Same here, outlook seems to be incapable of maintaining simultaneous
connections to our IMAP server, (courier-0.42.2 from the FreeBSD Ports
tree).

The workaround I use is, only ever check one folder at a time,
which seems to work.. *YAY*

The other thing of note is that Outlook seems to cache errors,
ie: if it comes back with an error once, it won't even retry properly,
it seems to cache the failure, always returning the same error until
you restart it.
(for eg, change the port of your mail server, check your mail, then
change it back)

Sorry to bring up again this dead thread, but I have the same problem, and google searching for (0x8004DF0B) error did not get me any idea how to solve. Anyone else succeed ?

Hello...I just joined this forum today. I was kind of searching for an answer for 0x8004DF0B and found this forum. Basically what I did is that I turned off my McAfee spam filter tool, restrart Outlook 2003 and the error was gone. I also made sure that the Work Offline mode is not selected.

I just wanted to say thanks this worked for me too.

Hello!


Since i had the exact same problem at work today with my outlook ( we have three users on the same account )i'll tell you my solution, sustaining the one posted a little earlier for another antivirus.
As an antivirus i had Eset, in charge of filtering my e-mails too.Once I switched to no e-mail protection I had no more problems with the IMAP settings.

PS : After you switch to no protection for emails be sure to restart, or else you'll be banging your head against the wall like I did.

P.S.2 : Be sure to check the settings once in a while, because after it updates it might turn back .
