Outlook 2002 Send and Receive Operation Failed

[David Frid]

I have OL2002, and when I press send/receive, I get the
message "operation failed" and all I can to is close the
little popup window. There is no other error message.
Please help.

What types of accounts do you have installed? If you Test Account Settings,
what is the report on the errors tab? Does your ISP require that you
authenticate before sending? If you remove and reinstall your mail
account(s), does the message still appear? What Microsoft Knowledge Base
Articles have you already researched and tried?

I rebooted and it works fine--I guess I should have tried
this first, maybe I have put too much faith in XP
thanks

I have the same error as David and this is what happens
with me: When I test the account settings, no errors are
shown, the ISP doesn't require authentication before
sending, I have removed and reinstalled outlook and the
mail account and the message still appears. I looked
through the knowledge base but found none that suited this
specific problem. The OS is windows 2000.

I couldn’t find the answer to David’s problem so I posted
this response.

Thanks

No, it doesn't, i tried that and it still has the same
error, that article has an error that is displayed
as: 'The operation failed. An object could not be found.'
but the error i receive only says 'the operation failed'.

The only other thing I can think of to try is to exit Outlook, delete the
file "outcmd.dat", and restart Outlook. You can find the file in your
"\Documents and Settings\<your logon name>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook" directory. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped...
