How do you fix error 0x80040126? Why can't we complain to MSN?

[Guest]

I've just started getting error message 0x80040126, which says that I can't
send messages because the server is offline. A brief search of the web
indicates that others are experiencing the same problem. No direct help is
available from MSN, though there are third parties offering fixes. Does
anyone have a suggestion?

I'm posting this same message in a few threads so the word gets out...read

I just got off the phone with Outlook Tech Support. Apparently the MSN
servers have been having some issues for the past couple of days. It only
affects certain accounts (but I did not understand why). Anyways, the long
and short of it is...You may be able to fix it right now or it may take an
additional 24 hours to resolve, she said it's hit and miss. In either case,
here is what Tech support said you need to do:
1. Remove your msn connector under add & remove programs in the control panel.
2. Staying in add or remove programs click on MSN and change/remove and
re-download the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector.
3. In outlook, remove your e-mail account and then re-add it.

On mine it did sink all my e-mails into outlook initially but still won't
receive any new e-mails. If it does not work we are supposed to try again in
24 hours. The upside (if there is one) is that they are aware of the issue!

Good luck to all.

Jason,

Unfortunately, this does not work. I got a fancier, newer version of
Outlook Connector and the error messages no longer appear, but my MSN emails
are still not getting into Outlook after the initial sync. (The initial sync
works when the account is added, but subsequent send/receives don't work.
