While MS Outlook supports a lot of features such as calendars, notes, newspapers, contact management, etc, it’s essentially an email client and is mainly used by millions of users worldwide to send and receive emails.

Methods to Fix Send Receive Errors in Outlook

Before you can begin emailing, you must first resolve Send and Receive errors in Outlook. Use any of the methods mentioned below to solve the problem:

1. Analyze and correct any issues with internet connectivity.

Often the true cause of an Outlook send-receive problem is as simple as a problem with Internet connectivity. As a result, open any website in your browser to see if you can link to the Internet at all. Fix connectivity and resume emailing if it won’t open.

2. Stop large outgoing emails and change Spam settings.

Bulky or spam emails are often flagged by Outlook and prevented from being sent or received. Check to see if the email you’re about to send has an oversized attachment, and if it does, delete it. Then try sending a text. Check your account’s spam settings if you’re waiting for an email that hasn’t arrived due to the mistake. Also, search your Outlook Outbox for any emails that might have been trapped there, stopping you from sending any more. Take these measures to clean them up:

a. Open Outlook and pick Work Offline from the Send/Receive tab.

b. Go to Outbox and, if any emails are available, right-click on them and pick Delete or Transfer to Drafts.

c. Return to the Send/Receive tab and uncheck the Work Offline box.

d. Now try sending the email again to see if the mistake has been fixed.

3. Verify the firewall and antivirus settings

The seamless flow of outgoing and incoming emails can be hampered by firewalls and anti-virus software. As a result, turn off your firewall and antivirus software for a while and try sending and receiving again. Allow both to be activated once emailing has resumed and your mailbox has been updated.

4. Double-check and make any required changes to your email address settings.

The bane can also be caused by incorrectly configured email account settings. To correct the settings, open Outlook and follow these steps:

a. Pick File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Update -> More Settings -> Outlook Server tab from the File -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Change -> More Options-> Outlook Server tab.

b. From the drop-down menu, pick My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication.

c. Also, pick the “Log onto the incoming server before sending mail” button.

5. Use ScanPST.exe to repair your PST.

A defective Outlook PST may be the cause of send-receive errors if none of the above solutions function. Locate Microsoft’s inbuilt Inbox Repair Utility, ScanPST.exe, on your device to repair Outlook PST (it should be within the Outlook installation directory by default). To address issues in PST, run it and follow the instructions.

6. Use Third-Party Tools to Fix PST

ScanPST.exe may not be able to restore a badly corrupted Outlook PST file. In such situations, the only alternative is to use third-party PST repair software. To correctly fix damaged PST data, we suggest Stellar Repair for Outlook. This tool restores Outlook PST files non-invasively and effectively, thanks to its strong scanning and repair algorithms.

Many Outlook users have faced issues such as Send-Receive errors over time. Although certain errors can be corrected in a few quick steps, others can take a long time to correct.
