Outlook inconsistent in sending emails, checked with provider, all settings correct

29. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac
Most of the time I hit "send", I get Outlook error message: "Outlook cannot find the server. I verified the server information is entered correctly in the Account Settings, and that your DNS settings in the Network pane of System Preferences are correct." There are times, however, when it sends right away with no error.

I usually have to go to Tools/Send and Receive/Send All.  I may have to repeat this 2-3 times, each time I get the same error message, then it will send on the third or fourth time.

All settings have been verified by Verizon, they suggest this appears to be a software issue.  I agree, since the emails eventually go through.  it is just an aggravation.

I am on Mac OS 10.6.8, Office Mac 2011 Home & Business
