Outlook Error 'Could not load an object'

Posted by Jonh Monday, November 10, 2008 0 comments

When you try to open an item in one of the Microsoft Outlook programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section, you may receive the following error message:
Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.

There is a reference to an ActiveX control in the item's form, and you do not have the appropriate library files for that control registered and installed on your computer.

To resolve this behavior use either of these two methods.

Method 1
Click OK to the error message. The item should open without displaying the problem control.

Method 2
Contact the author of the form to determine how to install and register the control on your computer. This method may involve installation of an additional program that provides the control.

I hope it is useful for Outlook Support...

Outlook POP3 Error And SMTP Error

Posted by Jonh Wednesday, November 5, 2008 5 comments

POP3 Errors

Problems that occur with Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) will affect the receipt and download of your emails. You may receive any of the following error messages when MSEO experiences POP3 issues:

0x800420CB: Mail cannot be stored on server
0x800CCC90: Client response invalid
0x800CCC91: Invalid user name or user not found
0x800CCC92: Password not valid for account.
0x800CCC93: Unable to interpret response.
0x800CCC94: Command required.
0x800CCC95: No messages on server.
0x800CCC96: No messages marked for retrieval.
0x800CCC97: Message ID out of range.

POP3 errors usually occur as a result of a temporary glitch, a file corruption, or because of incorrect account details.
Check to be sure that your connection details are correct. You may have changed you account details recently and failed to note those changes in MSOE or perhaps you have initiated “caps lock” while entering your case-sensitive password. The easiest way to see if your connection details are correct is to use window’s Telnet program. This will verify whether your details are incorrect or if the error is related to another MSOE issue.

To use Telnet click “start” and choose “run”. In the prompt window, type cmd (when using Windows NT, 2000 or XP) or type command (when using Windows 95, 98 or ME). In the new window type telnet 110 then click “enter”.

At this point, you should be connected to the mail server and you should receive a response “+OK Hello there”. This response confirms that you are connected to the mail server. Type, user and hit “enter”. If the username is correct, you should get the following message “+OK Password required”. Type, pass and hit “enter”. If the password is correct, the mail server will say, “+OK Well done”.

SMTP Errors

Problems that occur with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) will affect your ability to send emails. You may receive any of the following error messages when MSEO experiences POP3 issues:

0x800CCC60: Invalid response.
0x800CCC61: Unknown error code.
0x800CCC62: Syntax error returned.
0x800CCC63: Parameter syntax incorrect.
0x800CCC64: Command not implemented.
0x800CCC65: Improper command sequence.
0x800CCC66: Command not implemented.
0x800CCC67: Command not available.
0x800CCC68: Mailbox is locked and busy.
0x800CCC69: Mailbox not found.
0x800CCC6A: Error processing request.
0x800CCC6B: User mailbox is known, but mailbox not on this server.
0x800CCC6C: No space to store messages.
0x800CCC6D: Storage limit exceeded.
0x800CCC6E: Invalid mailbox name syntax.
0x800CCC6F: Transaction failed.
0x800CCC78: Unknown sender.
0x800CCC79: Server rejected recipients.
0x800CCC7A: No sender address specified.
0x800CCC7B: No recipients specified.

STMP problems often occur because of a temporary glitch. However, it is possible that the outgoing mail server address is incorrect. Verify that your outgoing mail server address is correct. This is the first thing you should check.

If your outgoing mail server address is correct, test your access to port 25 and see if your email is being blocked, using a telnet client. If you can connect to the outgoing mail server through port 25, this will confirm that the issue is with the application itself or your settings.

To use Telnet click “start” and choose “run”. In the prompt window, type cmd (when using Windows NT, 2000 or XP) or type command (when using Windows 95, 98 or ME). In the new window type telnet 25 then click “enter”.

At this point, you should be connected to the mail server and you should receive a response that begins with “220”, which confirms that port 25 is open. If you do not receive the “220” response, either the mail server is not functioning properly, you're not connected to the Internet or something on your system is blocking port 25.

When you try to check your email, you get the following error message:

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your User Name was rejected. Account: 'pop3.example.com', Server: 'pop3.example.com', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90.

SYMPTOMS
When you try to log on to Microsoft Exchange Server with Outlook Express by using Secure Password Authentication, you may see the following error messages in Microsoft Outlook Express. Look in the Details of the Error tab after failing to connect.
* Unable to logon to the server using Distributed Password Authentication.
Account:'Company POP3 Server Accnt.',
Server: 'server.company.com',
Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR The AUTH protocol exchange was canceled by the client.',Port: 110, Secure(SSL): NO, Server Error: 0x800ccc90, Error Number: 0x800ccc18
On the Exchange Server computer you will see the following Event IDs:
Application event log error:
13005 MSExchange Pop3 Authentication
Logon attempt by NTDomian\User from 157.57.148.24 to NtDomain/User has failed: EcGetMailboxDN() call failed with error The requested mailbox is not available on this server.

11310 MSExchange Pop3 Authentication
The following error occurred: The requested mailbox is not available on this server.

Cause:

* Incorrect Email settings.
* Incorrect scan settings on anti-virus software (if any).
* Corrupted account settings.

Solution

In Outlook Express, try using Clear Text, which is the Log on using option under the Servers tab of the mail account.
To do so:
1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts. This will bring up several tabs.
2. If you select any listed mail account, the properties will have a Servers tab with the Log on using option.
3. Select the Clear Text option.
If this works, then you were trying to access a non-existent mailbox or the wrong mailbox. If this does not work, then the administrator needs to check for and remove the custom recipient.

1. Check your Outlook Express settings.
2. Repair and Recover Outlook Express.

MORE INFORMATION

When a user tries to log on to Exchange Server with Outlook Express and Secure Password Authentication, the client will pass the credentials of the user logged on to the workstation. If the logon works using the Clear Text option: , the user will have to change his or her mailbox alias to the Windows NT account name in order to use Secure Password Authentication. This is because Secure Password Authentication will not pass the mailbox alias information. It defaults to and Exchange Server assumes the alias to be the Windows NT account.

Outlook Backup - Simple Solution For Home Users

Posted by Jonh Friday, October 10, 2008 1 comments

A lot of home users look for a backup solution because they just need to back up one thing - Outlook mail. If you are new to backup and don't know what data recovery is all about, but still need to protect your Outlook data, you may start searching web forums where they discuss data backup and recovery, which will most likely cause you even more confusion up to a point where you actually want to give up the whole idea of finding a simple Outlook backup plan.
In fact, you don't have to know much about backup to protect your Outlook mail from loss and theft. The reason you become more confused, the more you search is that at professional backup forums, they use a lot of special backup terminology and professional jargon, which makes it all the harder for you to understand and, most importantly, decide which backup program to buy.
To make your search of Outlook backup solution more effective, answer just one question: exactly what do I want to copy and how often? If you just need to copy your Outlook data every once in a while, you can easily find inexpensive backup software with the option of Outlook backup, which allows you to back up and recover Outlook messages, contacts, settings, the address book, and so on, and copy them to a CD or DVD on a schedule, for example once a week.
The Outlook backup feature is a really basic functionality for any backup program. So if you just know that a particular solution can do Outlook backup, it is not enough information to say whether it is a professional solution or not. Both simple and advanced backup programs may feature Outlook backup, so basically what you need to do is a little price comparison survey.
What's next? Next thing to do is to check what other options this particular backup program has to offer with regard to Outlook backup. For example, does it allow you to back up messages and contacts separately, or does it backup everything in bulk? Can it compress and/or encrypt Outlook data?
Another important issue to consider is where you are going to store your backups. If the Outlook backup software allows recording Outlook data to DVD, it may raise its cost a little bit; however the option of recording data to CD is usually available in most of the low-price solutions.

How to Create the PCF and Run PREP

Posted by Jonh Monday, October 6, 2008 0 comments

The PCF (Profiler Command File) provides greater control to select the parts of the executable program to profile. The PCF is optional and is not necessary to collect statistics about all functions of the application.

With the following PCF, the profiler collects statistics only for the main window procedure and for the About dialog box procedure in GENERIC. For more information on PCFs, see chapter 4 of the Source Profiler "User's Guide." Place the following text into the GENERIC.PCF file:
FPROFILE TIME
PROGRAM GENERIC.EXE DELETE
OBJECT GENERIC.OBJ
FUNCTION MainWndProc ADD # Note: function names are case sensitive
FUNCTION About ADD
To use this file, perform the following three steps:
1. Place the GENERIC.PCF file into the same directory as the source code for the GENERIC sample.
2. Build the GENERIC sample with debugging information (specify the /Zi compiler option switch and the /CO linker option switch).
3. Use the following command line to run the PREP utility:

PREP /P GENERIC.EXE /OT GENERIC.PBT /OI GENERIC.PBI GENERIC.PCF


For more information about the PREP utility, see Appendix A of the Source Profiler "User's Guide."

You can place the PREP command into the makefile that builds profiling versions of your application. Run the PREP utility after building the executable file.

Version 1.2 of the Microsoft Source Profiles includes two executable files: PROFILE.EXE and PROFILEW.EXE. PROFILEW.EXE is a Microsoft Windows-hosted source profile utility that can run from the command line or from an icon in the Microsoft Windows operating system. The names of batch files used to profile a Windows-based application end with the letter "W." Run these batch files from the MS-DOS prompt because each one starts Windows. You also can profile a Windows-based application in Windows.

Outlook Backup - What Is The Best Way to Do It?

Posted by Jonh Tuesday, September 30, 2008 0 comments

Outlook backup is a bare necessity for those who use MS Outlook email client for everyday communication. If you are like most people, who like to start their day with a hot steaming cup of coffee looking through morning mail, you sure can imagine how frustrating it can be to lose your important messages and contacts.

There are several reasons why you can lose your email. First of all, you can lose your Outlook messages as a result of hardware failure. Secondly, there can be a disaster like flood or fire, which is hard to prevent so it is strongly recommended to back up Outlook/Outlook Express to secure against the temperament of nature.

A far more frustrating occurrence of message loss is an accidental deletion by the owner. There is no way to prevent such things, but there are several ways to make sure you do not lose your data, if you get in any of the above mentioned situations.

One ways is to copy your contacts and messages manually each day and record them to some storage media such as a CD. This is a viable solution and it is the cheapest in terms of money, but not time. It is going to be hard to keep track of all incoming and out coming messages and not to forget to do Outlook backup regularly.

However, with the simple yet reliable Outlook backup software, you can immensely simplify the task of data protection. In fact, for a reasonable fee of 39 bucks you can get a professional backup program with the backup functionality which allows backing up your important messages on a specified schedule with the options of data compression and encryption.

When choosing your backup software, pay attention to the specific features of a program. Some backup programs offer Outlook backup functionality as a default feature, while others may require installation of special plug-ins for doing target backup of email. Also, make sure that the program can do backup of all versions, including backup of Outlook 2007.

The minimal feature set that you need to do quality Outlook backup includes automatic Outlook file search, automated task execution according to a minute accuracy schedule, data compression and encryption and a wide choice of storage media including flash drives, external hard drives, optical disks, FTP and online servers.

Outlook Web Access

Posted by Jonh Monday, September 22, 2008 2 comments

Outlook Web Access (OWA) is a webmail service of Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 and later, originally called Exchange Web Connect (EWC). The web interface of Outlook Web Access resembles the interface in Microsoft Outlook. Outlook Web Access comes as a part of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and previous versions of Exchange.

OWA is used to access e-mail (including support for S/MIME), calendars, contacts, tasks, and other mailbox content when access to the Microsoft Outlook desktop application is unavailable. In the Exchange 2007 release, OWA also offers read-only access to documents stored in Microsoft SharePoint sites and network (UNC) shares. Microsoft provides Outlook Web Access as part of Exchange Server to allow users to connect remotely via a web browser. Some of the functionality in Outlook is also available in this web "look-alike". The most important difference is that Microsoft Outlook allows users to work with e-mail, calendars, etc., even when a network connection is unavailable, whereas OWA requires a network connection to function. OWA can be used from Internet cafes and any other location that provides connectivity to the Web.

Functionality of the OWA is partly bundled with the use of a Microsoft client operating system and the Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). The OWA interface available in Exchange 2000, Exchange 2003, and Exchange 2007 is available in two flavors. The so-called "Premium" user interface is rendered for Internet Explorer 5 (for the 2000 and 2003 releases) and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and later for the 2007 release. The so-called "Basic" user interface (UI) is rendered for other browsers. Some functions, such as Search, are not available in the Basic UI. Since there is no current IE installer available for Mac OSX and no official installer at all for Linux, Linux and many Apple users can only use restricted functionality.

The first component to allow client-side scripts to issue HTTP requests (XMLHTTP) was originally written by the Outlook Web Access team. It soon became a part of Internet Explorer 5.0. Renamed XmlHttpRequest and standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium[1], it has since become one of the cornerstones of the Ajax technology used to build advanced web applications.

What is a Microsoft Exchange account?

Posted by Jonh Thursday, August 7, 2008 0 comments

Some features in Outlook require you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Exchange is an e-mail-based collaborative communications server for businesses. Licenses for Exchange can be purchased from Microsoft and its resellers. Exchange Services Provide Online Outlook Support and Email Support for the Outlook.
If your organization uses Exchange, but you do not know whether you have an account or how to use it, you must contact your organization's Help desk or network administrator for assistance.
Home users typically do not have an Exchange account; instead they use a POP3 e-mail account with an Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) or use a Web-based e-mail service, such as Windows Live Mail. If you use a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) e-mail account, your ISP can provide you with your specific account information. People without Exchange accounts cannot use the features in Outlook that require Exchange.
The Help for features that require an Exchange account includes one of the following notations:
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007 account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
If you are not using an Exchange account, you may not see the menus, commands, or options mentioned in the Help for the features.

When you receive a message in a different language, the message must be marked with information about the character set (alphabet) that was used to create it in order for Outlook 2000 to be able to display the message. When you forward or reply to the message, Outlook keeps the character set of the original message. Including character set information with a message is called encoding.
Occasionally, you may receive messages that aren't encoded. For these messages, Outlook uses the default encoding for unmarked messages that's specified for your computer. This default is set automatically based on the Regional Settings (system local settings) of your operating system. The default setting appears in the International Options dialog box. (On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Mail Format tab, and then click International Options.)
The default encoding might not work for some of the international messages that you receive. For example, if your default is Western European and you receive an unmarked message that uses a Greek character set, the message might display boxes or question marks instead of readable text. To fix this problem, you need to change the encoding of that specific message to Greek so Outlook can display the correct characters and provide Outlook Support to read and send the email massage.
Changing the encoding of a message
By default, there are a number of languages already enabled when you install Microsoft Office 2000. As a result, the character sets for these languages are listed in Outlook so you can change the encoding of any unmarked message to the character set used to create the message.
Change the encoding of a received message
1. Open the message.
2. On the View menu, point to Encoding, and then click the character set (alphabet) you want to use.
3. Click Yes.
Encoding doesn't only apply to messages that you receive. It also applies to messages you send. Outlook automatically uses the default encoding for outgoing messages (also specified in the International Options dialog box mentioned above); however, you can specify a different encoding for a specific message.
Enable a language
1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Language Settings.
2. Click the language you want to enable.
Once you've enabled the language, its character set is available in the encoding list in Outlook.

How to AutoRecover and AutoSave work

Posted by Jonh Friday, July 25, 2008 0 comments

The AutoRecover option (in these Microsoft Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Visio) and AutoSave option (in Microsoft Office Outlook) can help you avoid losing work in two ways:

  • Your data is automatically saved If you enable Auto Recover or AutoSave, your file (such as a Microsoft Office Word document) or item (such as an Outlook Support and Outlook e-mail message) is automatically saved as often as you want. Therefore, if you have been working for a long time but forget to save a file or if your power goes out, the file you have been working on contains all or at least some of the work you have done since you last saved it.
  • Your program state is automatically saved In Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office Word, there is an additional benefit to enabling AutoRecover or AutoSave. In these programs, if you enable this option, some aspects of the state of the program are recovered when the program is restarted after it closed abnormally.

For example, you are working on several Excel workbooks at the same time. Each file is open in a different window, with specific data visible in each window. In one of the workbooks, a cell is selected to help you keep track of which rows you already reviewed, and then Excel crashes. When you restart Excel, it opens the workbooks again and restores the windows to the way they were before Excel crashed.

Although not every aspect of your program's state can be recovered, in many cases, the Recovery feature can help you recover more quickly.

Outlook data files tutorials

When you use Microsoft Office Outlook, you need a place to keep your e-mail messages, calendar, tasks, and other items. This storage place, known as a data file, allows you to keep your data on your computer. Outlook Support Offered for the help of Outlook Email Support and saving data in your Personal Folder an Offline Folder.

When Outlook saves items to your computer, it uses a type of data file called an Outlook Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.). If you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server account, your items are usually delivered to and saved on the mail server.

The offline folder file has an .ost extension. You can create it automatically when you set up Outlook or when you first make a folder available offline.) on your computer.

The primary distinctions between the two types of Outlook data files are:

  • The Outlook .ost files are used only when you have an Exchange Server account and choose to work offline or use Cached Exchange Mode.
  • The Outlook .pst files are used for POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.), IMAP (IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): Unlike Internet e-mail protocols such as POP3, IMAP creates folders on a server to store/organize messages for retrieval by other computers. You can read message headers only and select which messages to download.), and HTTP accounts. When you want to create archives or back up your Outlook folders and items on your computer, including Exchange Server accounts, you must create and use additional .pst files.
