Chris: I had the same problem, but fixed it! But, note
that you may lose your contacts. You may want to export
them out to a file, then re-import them, after taking
these steps:
I deleted my profile in Outlook, started a new one, then
re-entered my email account. Note; the below steps are a
little differeent, if you have Windows XP. Good luck,
hope it works for you too:
SYMPTOMS
When you click Send and Receive in Microsoft Outlook, the
following error message may appear:
The operation failed. An object could not be found.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, create a new profile:
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click
Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Mail icon.
3. In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles.

If you want to be able to select a specific profile each
time you start Outlook, click the General tab, click
Prompt for a profile to be used, and then click Add.
4. In the New Profile dialog box, under Profile
Name, type a descriptive name for the new profile, and
then click OK.
5. In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, select Add a
new e-mail account in the e-mail options, and then click
Next.
6. Click the type of server that your e-mail account
works with, and then click Next.
7. Complete all of the required fields, including
those that are on the tabs that appear after you click
More Settings.
8. When you finish providing the required
information, click Finish.
MORE INFORMATION
By default, Outlook Address Book and personal folder
(.pst) files are automatically added to each new profile,
except in Microsoft Exchange Server. Personal folder
(.pst) files are not added by default in Exchange Server.

If you right-click the Microsoft Outlook icon on your
desktop and then click Properties, the Mail Setup dialog
box appears. You can add a new profile by following Steps
3 through 8 in the Resolution section.

Dear Mike and/or Chris:
Click to expand...

I have the same problem and tried the same fix. I was
getting the "The operation failed. An object could not be
found" message; now, I get "The operation failed" message
without reference to an object. However, I did not delete
the previous profile before creating the new one. Will
this matter? Also, I'm in XP. Otherwise, the five-step
email test procedure works fine, and all else seems fine,
except for the end result as previously explained. I
would sure appreciate assistance if you have any
remaining.

Thanks for the consideration.
 
Hi Vick
Personally I would try deleting the original profile (the
one(s) giving you grief then create a new one, taking the
below steps and exporting your contacts and any other
needed data.

Hope this helps

Regards
Davidt
