Task 'myusername@verizon.net" - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).' This is a copy/paste of error message from Office Outlook 2003
Our household has been unable to "send" outgoing emails since 06/29/2010. This includes a wireless laptop and a PC. We both lost the ability to send emails same day. We changed NOTHING and did not share emails with each other that would have corrupted our system. During this time I have had 2 Verizon techs dance around in the PC doing all the same things I did as well as what the automated assistant did. The last tech said the Outlook Express 6.0 was corrupted, and to unistall it and then reinstall; this time 2 hours later, I think he just gave up). That did not work either. I tried using the Outlook Office and still got an error message for outging. Everything is set up as it was when it was working until 06/29/2010. I was told that there was a new server being installed and that things wold be working by 07/02/2010... I have tried taking down the firewall, turning off virus protection (McAfee), changing from outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net to just outgoing.verizon.net, checking boxes, unchecked boxes. SMPT is set to 587. We get incoming fine. I hate using the "Verizon email site" as too much monkey motion to get to mail, but that's what we have been doing. I even tried setting up a GMail account, again got mail still could not send. Any ideas?
I am having the exact same problem!! I am a new verizon customer and I have been
banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out.
Just to make sure it is a verizon related issue, I plugged back into my previous ISP and
outlook worked just fine!
Can anyone help us!
Thank you for your response! I even tried sending an email via dos prompt with Telnet, got past "HELO", but when trying to get a "RCPT TO" (using outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net) I got an "authorization required" response and then was dropped. I have been passed around without a solution. I am about ready to change ISP, but really hate to as most of the time (years now) this has been a decent ISP. If Verizon is having a problem just say so, I can handle it, honesty would be nice, refreshing and not wasting so much of my time as well as the techs!
I am experiencing the same problem............Has anyone been able to set up Outlook 2010 to receive and send mail? If so, how did you do it???
