WINDOWS VISTA OUTLOOK EXPRESS 0x800C006C

[Guest]

Stores the messages in individual files. Has some freeware spell checker.
Doesn't do http mail anymore. Why would you expect a new application when OE
was perfectly fine.

SMTP is not normally on port 0, it is normally 25, sometimes your ISP may
make it a random number reserved ports (ie you have to ask them to know).

This OE error number is undocumented (the 0x800C006C). When there is a
problem the error dialog often reports Port 0 even though the correct port
is set in the Accounts dialog.

See if some malware like Nortons is interfering with your outgoung mail.

You can also record a log in Tools Options Advanced Maintenance. This will
detail the conversation between OE and the SMTP server (it's mostly
english).

Here is a sucessful SMTP send (the actual mail is the blank line)
I connect after using secure logon (because I can use my SMTP server using
any ISP - most ISP demand you connect to the mail server via the ISP's
network so it knows you aren't a spammer - therefore it doesn't require a
password)

It says 220 and also returns optional features the server supports
I say helo
It says 250
I say Mail From
It says 250
I say Receipt To
It says 250
I say data
It says 354
I send the actual mail message
It says 250
I say Quit
It says 221

I am having this problem as well. There's no rhyme or reason to it -- it's
sporadic -- sometimes the email goes out and sometimes it doesn't. And
NOBODY understands Windows Vista. What is /improved/ about this
program --
can anybody tell me?

After 2 days, I finally found a tip and uninstalled McAfee anti virus. I
then set up a new user in Vista and it now works like a charm and really
fast!! Now the problem is I still want to use WM in my original user profile
but, despite deleting the former email accounts re-booting and re-entering
them as new, it doesn't work. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. Vista
should be shouting this info out to us!

If deleting email accounts and recreating them doesn't fix it,
you'll need to go one step further. Delete the database and
let it regenerate. Check recent posts by Steve Cochran for
details on how to do this.

Good to know McAfee is the culprit in this case.


Try compacting and repairing the database using my WMUtil program
(www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/).

If that doesn't help then wipe out the database. Go to
Tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store Folder to find the message
store location. Then move everything under that Windows Mail directory to
another directory so that the Windows Mail directory is completely empty.
Then restart WinMail and it will open fresh with nothing
in the database. You can then add your accounts and if they work correctly
then you can use File | Import | Messages and choose WinMail format and
point to the directory to which you moved the files.

see if that works.

I too am having this problem! It may help for diagnosis that I find it occurs
when I do a multiple account send and receive. If I do each account
separately then they all send and receive correctly.

I'm running Vista with McAfee and am waiting for ore help before I delete
McAfee. I have disabled all Virus & SPam functions but it has not helped.

Try it after completely uninstalling McAfee.

You guys are looking at it all worng, it is really much simpler than that.

The problem is infact Microsoft and the fact that they doent check there
updates for Vista, I lost 2 days trying to sort this problem and then
realised that the only thing that was changing on the computer was the
updates.
Change you settings to install manually and intall one update at a time
cautiously checking that you can still send mail.

To solve the problem you have now, just uninsall as many updates as you can
and then start from the beginning one by one.

Go to Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced and check the server
numbers and fix them if they are incorrect. Try clicking the Use Defaults
button there.

I went to tools/accounts/mail/properties/then advanced. I checked the box
under "Delivery" that says leave messages on server. After checking that box
it gave an option to check another box stating- delete items from server in
deleted items folder. Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

 

[Guest]

UPDATE: It allowed only certain emails to be deleted one at a time. Some
continue to get "error" message, others delete fine. It appears that the
spam won't go away but online stores i.e. inkjet, clothing stores etc.. will
delete.
