An Outlook 2003 Problem

J

John Smith

I just upgraded from Outlook 97 to Outlook 2003. However, when trying to
reply, forward, and compose with Outlook 2003, I got this error message:

"The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem
persists, restart Outlook."

The problem persisted. I restarted Outlook 2003, but it didn't help.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

How did you upgrade Outlook 2003 from Outlook 97?
Anyway If you use Hotmail or MSN mail,
check MSKB info below.

You receive a "The messaging interface has returned an unknown error " error message when you try to use Outlook to make a change to
a recurring appointment in the Calendar of your Hotmail account or of your MSN e-mail account

Thanks trying to help. I simply installed Office 2003 including Outlook 2003
and didn't do anything special.

Did you install Outlook 2003 on Outlook 97 PC?
What is your OS?
Did your Outlook 97 was corporate/workgroup mode or Internet only mode?
what kind email service do you have?
(smtp/pop3, http, imap, or exchange)

FYI - Outlook 97 did not support modes, only Outlook 98 and 2000.
