I've been trying to find the cause of this error on my Outlook 2007 (Vista Ultimate with all packs and updates). I don't think I'm a computer numpty, but here's what I tried so far, without any success:
I note that some Internet posts refer to using "Detect and Repair," which I can't seem to find. Another thing that Outlook won't do (in the "Other" "Advanced" settings dialog) is to allow me to 'Start In' my "Contacts" folder (which is what I use Outlook for) - it repeatedly returns to "Inbox" as soon as I quit the options box. I suspect that this may be connected in some bizarre, Microsoft-type way!
At the stage where you can test account settings, I always get a successful result on both Send and Receive, yet Outlook will NOT otherwise send e-mail, giving the post-title error above.
I have the "My server requires authentication" box ticked and I've tried "Use same settings as incoming mail" and typing the settings in manually. In both cases I get successful test results, yet still it will NOT send mail.
It's always received e-mail OK and I use another dedicated e-mail client for everyday use, but I just can't stand having an application that doesn't work - as those who know me can probably imagine!
