As a rule, this error tends to show up if your computer isn’t connected to the valid Internet. Thus you should check the network connectivity in the first place. Open your Internet Browser, and type any website URL in the address bar. Press “enter” key. If the website opens normally, this error is caused by other factors. But if not, proceed to deal with the network connectivity problems.
2. Turn off the Firewall and Re-add the Incoming and Outgoing Server Name

- Then in the subsequent screen, click “Network and Sharing Center”.
- Next in the bottom left corner, locate and click “Windows Firewall”. And in the following page, click on “turn Windows Firewall on or off” link.
- In the final interface, you can turn off the windows firewall.
- Eventually you should restart Outlook and re-add the incoming and outgoing server name in Outlook “Account Settings”.
After completing the above steps, you should verify if the problem is solved or not. If the error persists, you should turn on the firewall immediately to protect Outlook from being attacked by viruses or spyware.
3. Re-define Send/Receive Groups If You Are Using an IMAP Email Account
Besides, the faulty send/receive settings in an IMAP email account can trigger the issue as well. Perform the operations below.

- In the popup dialog, click “Edit” button.
- Next in the subsequent dialog box, deselect the option “Get folder unread count for subscribed folders” and select “Use the custom behavior defined below”.
- In addition, at the bottom, you should choose the Inbox folder only.
- Finally click a series of “OK” to save the changes. When finishing, try to send emails again.
4. Start Outlook in Safe Mode to Verify Add-ins Should Be to Blame
Supposing that all the methods above can fix this error, there are great chances that one of the existing add-ins is the criminal. Thus you should probe into this reason.
- Close Outlook and head to Start Menu. In the search field, type “outlook.exe /safe” and press “Enter”, which will start Outlook in safe mode.
- Then go to “File” > “Options” > “Add-ins” > “Go”.
- In the next popup dialog, remove one add-in at a time and restart Outlook normally to check if the add-in is to blame.
