Cannot receive email in outlook 2003 software#
Sure enough, there was a "deny" instead of an "allow" as the newest Microsoft Outlook permission status in the "Exceptions" tab of my firewall software (which also happens to be Trend Micro PC - cillin Internet Security). Hope this helps someone, have a great day!ĭave's solution just made my Outlook 2007 email work again with his advice on checking the personal firewall settings in the anti-virus software on my machine. It's been my experience many times in the past that firewall settings can be improperly setup or corrupted somehow, and is often the culprit behind connectivity issues. I suggest checking firewall settings for whatever software you personally use. I did not have to reconfigure Outlook, nor did I have to set up any DNS entries - but this may not be everyones case. I'm still researching how all those exceptions got in there (that type of thing makes me buku suspicious I may have caught a bug. I deleted all but one of those firewall exceptions, doubled checked the remaining one had the proper setup, and immediately I was able to properly send & receive. I use Trend PC-cilling Internet Security, and my personal firewall settings had about 30 entries for MS Outlook as an outbound exception. I had this issue, and here's what my problem was. I know this is a tad old, but future searchers may still run into this.
