Outlook 2003 - error (0x80070057)
I've been using Outlook 2003 for years, but after miagrating to Vista, the
following problem cropped up.
When I try to send some emails in Outlook 2003, I get the following error
message:
Task 'Main-Sending' reported error(0x80070057) : 'Could not complete the
operation. One or more parameter values are not valid.' (note: "Main" is
my primary pop3/SMTP server).
My ISP says it's Microsoft's problem, not something at the server, and they
have no idea.
I searched the MS website, but did not get any hits on the error.
It only affects *some* of the emails. So far, all of the affected items
seem to be ones that I am forwarding and have attachments or imbedded
Internet links.
However, some forwarded emails with links or attachments go through just
fine. Usually, if I regenerate the message from scratch, it will go
through.
Has anyone experienced this problem and worked out a fix?
Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem - but without the Vista trigger. I hope
someone has a suggestion.

Thanks, but that didn't work. Registry changes are all there, but the log
file is not created. The folder structure described is not created, so I
created it manually--to no avail. A search of all files with "smtp" or "log"
in the filename filas to show any such log file.

Following advice I found in another thread, I discovered the OPMLOG file.
Following advice I found in another thread, I discovered the OPMLOG file. It
logs all activity, not just SMTP. Here is the snippet where I was trying to
send:

2007.06.08 19:58:20 Main: Synch operation completed
I don't see anything helful there. Unfortunately, the error message in play
seems to translate to: "Wow! Something unexpected happened, but we have no
earthly idea of what it was or how to describe it."

I would try running Detect and Repair (from the Help Menu), you'll likely
need your Office CD.
If that doesn't make a difference, I would rename your current mail profile
(use the mail applet in the Control Panel) and create a new one. You'll find
instructions on how to do that here:

Let me know if either or neither works. Good luck!

Thanks. I've tried those steps several times, to no effect. I have three
email addresses (all on the same ISP, though), and they all behave the same
way.
My ISP swears it it not a problem on their end (and judging by the number of
people here who report similar behavior. I suspect my ISP may be right);
however, they only support OE and webmail--so they will give me no help in
seeking a solution.
At this point, I'm convinced it's a bug in Outlook that is not ISP specific,
so I'm trying to decide which alternate mail program to switch to.

Honestly, the best troubleshooting step might be to look at the actual
network traffic with a protocol sniffer to see what exactly is being sent
that the server doesn't seem to agree with. That's probably the only way
you'll get to the bottom of the problem.

f.h.
Where does one get a "protocol sniffer"?

What irritates me is the "Aw geez, something went wrong... sorry 'bout

There's no polite way to say this, so, I beg your forgiveness.
If you don't know where to get a protocol sniffer, you're going to need a
lot of help in setting it up, using it and interpreting the results. It's
sorta like the whole 'If you have to ask, you can't afford it' thing.
But, really, if your ISP says it's not their problem, I'd ask them 'How can
you tell? What is Outlook sending to you that produces the error?' If they
can't tell you, then, well, really, they can't know it isn't their problem.
I mean, really, it comes down to this question: What is the command that
Outlook sends to the SMTP server that produces the error? Knowing that, it
might be possible to figure out what's wrong in Outlook. Or, honestly, it
might not be. It might need to be one of those things that only Microsoft
can figure out through tech support.
