How do I fix send and receive error?

One of the primary steps to fix Outlook send and receive errors is to check your network connection. Ensure that your device is connected to a stable and reliable network. This will help Outlook synchronize with the server without any interruptions. A weak or unstable network can often lead to synchronization issues, resulting in send and receive errors.

Disabling or re-configuring your firewall can also help fix Outlook send and receive errors. Sometimes, firewall settings can block Outlook from accessing the server. Check your firewall settings and ensure that Outlook is allowed to communicate through the network. If necessary, disable the firewall temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.

Verifying your email account settings is another crucial step. Make sure that all the account details, such as the email address, password, and server information, are correctly entered. Incorrect settings can prevent Outlook from connecting to the server, leading to errors. Double-check all the details and update them if necessary.

Checking your outgoing server settings is also important. Ensure that the SMTP server settings are correctly configured. This includes verifying the server address, port number, and authentication settings. Incorrect outgoing server settings can prevent emails from being sent, causing send errors in Outlook.

Increasing your server time-out settings can sometimes resolve send and receive errors. Outlook may timeout if it takes too long to connect to the server. By increasing the time-out duration, you can give Outlook more time to establish a connection, reducing the chances of errors.
