Dealing with an Object Not Found Error in Ms Outlook

In course of our regular office

day we end up sending numerous emails through the Outlook application. Imagine a situation when one bright day when you send an email you end up receiving an object not found error message. You may be quite perplexed by the error message as the application was sending emails quite well say a day back. In such a scenario you need to follow a series of steps to isolate and resolve the issue.

Start with checking your Outlook Profile

One of the most common reasons for this error to occur involves the corruption of your Outlook profile. You should try creating a new Outlook profile by typing in Mail in the Run window. In the screen that shows up click on Show Profiles and click on Add to create a new profile. In the first step you would have to assign a new profile name and then add your email ID to the new profile. Based on your need you can choose the type of account, say Pop3 and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process.

Check your SMTP Settings

In some cases the problem may still remain and it may happen if your SMTP settings which are typically automatic taken are not getting picked up. In such a scenario you can manually key in your SMTP settings based on the details provided by your email service provider. To change the SMTP settings you need to go to Tools and then move to Email Account settings. In the subsequent screen select the option to View and Change existing email account and click on the Next button. In the subsequent screen, select your email account and click on the Change button. You should now uncheck the option to auto detect settings and then manually key in the Pop 3 and SMTP details.

Check for Outlook Data file corruption

In most cases the above two steps should resolve the issue. However in case they do not resolve the problem, you may be looking at an Outlook data file corruption issue. In such a scenario you need to backup your Outlook data and then reinstall the application.
