Windows 10: outlook 2007 not sending after windows 10 installation

After installing Windows 10 everything looks good but Outlook does not send emails they just sit in the outbox. Account settings look ok and server message is received when tested.


Solved by running sfc /scannow then Office diagnostics. Thanks to the forum.

Outlook 2007 cannot send email

After installing windows 10 (fresh install not upgrade), and installing outlook 2007 I found that outlook 2007 stopped sending emails, the mail was stuck in the outbox.

I ran sfc /scannow

and this indeed fixed the problem for a couple of weeks.

Today again outlook 2007 stopped sending email,

again sfc/scannow fixed the issue.

I've never had problems with outlook 2007 with Windows 7, and I'm concerned that the resource file is being corrupted.

Anyone got an idea why this is happening?

Outlook doesn't send emails after upgrading to Windows 10

I had the same problem with Outlook 2007 on Windows 10 rev1709 (update my computer on 2017/12).

Impossible to send/recieve email or open user account from tools menu.

Solve it:

• uninstall last "Office 2007" updates + security in the Windows "last installed updates" (about 20 updates)
• one of those updates were incompatible with Outlook
• after uninstall, Outlook 2007 worked fine again

Version Francaise:

Pour corriger le problème des messages d'erreurs dans Outlook 2007 suite la mise jour de Windows 10 en décembre 2017. Pour ma part, impossible d'envoyer/recevoir, menu outils > comptes inaccessible, menu gestion des fichiers de données inaccessible :

• trouver la liste des dernières mises jour Windows installées
• triller par date et désinstaller toutes les mises jour Office 2007 (sécurité + updates)
• relancer Outlook et il devrait refonctionner comme avant

 

Hi all,

I just wanted to add my voice that this was a really big problem for me and doing the "SFC /SCANNOW" has resolved the issue. Thank you for posting the solution.*Smile

 

The SFC command has sorted the problem for me too. But we shouldn't have to do this!
After running the SFC command, it reports "corrupt files were found" (the source of the problem I suspect?). But WHY did it find corrupt files on a BRAND NEW CLEAN install of Windows 10 and Office 2007?
Is someone(!) trying to tell me it's time to upgrade to Office 2010, 2013 or 2016 even? Can I assume that Outlook in each of these newer versions does NOT have the same problem?
Finally, can we identify the corrupt files and therefore discover what software they are connected to? Is it Office or Windows?

I had exactly the same problem with Outlook 2007 after a major Windows10 update. I also noticed that Avast (free) was not working as it should so i did a reinstall of Avast and after a computer restart Outlook had returned to normal. I am not quite sure of the connection between Avast and Outlook 2007 but reinstalling Avast solved my problem.
