Windows 10: Cannot send smtp emails from Mail app or Outlook(error 0x8009030f)

Hello,

I have a problem with using the Mail app and Outlook 2019

I can receive emails but can't send them. The error I get is 0x8009030f

And after I press send, I get this message to my inbox:


"We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large".


When I try to use Thunderbird, I have no problem with it and I can send emails from the google account(with the same settings).

The issue is only with google account. No problem with Microsoft account.


It happens in one PC only. When I try to add a google account on my Surface PRO, I can send emails from the account on Mail app and Outlook without any problem(with the same settings).


So far I tried to remove the app using the PowerShell and reinstall, ran the troubleshoot, ran sfc /scannow and DISM but the problem still exists.

Any ideas?


Thanks!

:)

 

Cannot send smtp emails from any program (error 0x8009030f)

Hello,

I have a problems sending emails; in short, while I can receive emails I cannot send them from any email account that I own.

I have tried various gmail accounts, 2 uni accounts (one of which is managed by google), and a windows live account and only the live account allows me to send emails.

Thanks to the Mail app I was able to get an error code (0x8009030f) and looked for solutions online.

I have reset the Mail app already, ran sfc /scannow and DISM but all of these did not solve my issue.

After trying multiple mail clients including Outlook and Thunderbird I have to conclude that there is an issue in my windows installation, therefore I am posting this in the Windows category

 

Make 'Mail' app default for sending emails and not Outlook


I have both the windows 10 mail app and office outlook installed but when emailing a document from within windows file explorer it always tries to send it using Outlook.

Is there a way to get it to default to send using the Mail app instead?

I have tried setting the default app as mail in the Default Settings but it keeps trying to send from outlook.
