I have been using Microsoft Outlook 2011 on my MacBook Pro for a few months now.  I have a handful of email accounts set up on it.  In the beginning, all were POP accounts.  A month or two back, I converted a couple of them along with my Gmail account to IMAP.  The Gmail account is working fine with no errors.  The other two IMAP accounts hosted by GoDaddy work fine about 99% of the time, but I get a handful of -3170 errors at random times daily.  I can't seem to find any sort of pattern or triggers for these errors.  So again, these email addresses work in Outlook almost all the time fine, but a few times daily I'll get these errors, and then it goes back to normal.  

So far, the steps I've taken to resolve this are:

I've checked the DNS settings and they're working well.  
All of the account information for both email addresses has been checked a number of times and are correct in Outlook.  
I've contacted GoDaddy to check the email accounts and servers which checked out OK according to their tech support.
I've contacted Uverse (our ISP) to confirm that our broadband signals are clean which they are.
I've asked Uverse to confirm that the ports required were open and that they weren't closing during the day which they say they are not.
I've replaced the Uverse gateway with a new updated version.
I've deleted both email accounts from Outlook and re-entered the information.
I've uninstalled MS Office 2011 and Re-installed it

After doing all of this, I continue to get this -3170 error a few times daily and it seems like those email accounts are not able to sync, send or receive emails for a few minutes until it comes back up.  During this time, my internet and wifi connection is fine.  In fact, I've set up the same email addresses in Mac Mail and when Outlook has this hiccup, Mac Mail is still connected to these email addresses like normal.  

I'm not really sure what my next steps should be to troubleshoot this error, but they're making me crazy.  Below is the setup I'm running.  Thanks in advance for any help.  If I've forgotten any details, feel free to let me know and I'll be glad to provide any other info I can.

OSX Mountain Lion
MS Office for Mac 2011 - Home & Business
IMAP email hosted by GoDaddy

I just switched from pc to a new mac pro laptop.  I have installed office 2011 for mac.  I have previously been using office 2003 with Outlook 2003 gathering email from multiple email accounts .  I exported a PST file from Personal Folders in Outlook 2003.  I then imported that PST file into Outlook 2001 mac.  This only imported emails, and did not import contacts or e-mail account setups.  I was okay with that and imported contacts using a separate export of contacts in a text file.  I set up the email accounts from scratch in Outlook 2011 mac.  My problem is that after I turned on the Account column on the mail item list, the email accounts are not listed for any of the imported email.  The Account column is blank for all imported emails.  The accounts do show for the new mail that is arriving.  Is there any way to get the email accounts displayed in the account column for the imported emails from outlook 2003?

Hi,

I have 3 email accounts which I access through windows live. I can send emails using one account but not the other two and receive the following error message:

 

An unknown error has occurred.

Subject 'Re: hi'
Server Error: 421
Server Response: 421
Server: 'stmp.live.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC67
Protocol: SMTP
Port: 587
Secure(SSL): Yes

 

All was working OK until recently.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have 4 or 5 email accounts on my outlook.  When I go to create message rules, it will only give me the option of two different email accounts to choose from, rather then all the email accounts that I have.  And neither one of them is the account that I use to sign into outlook with.  How can I fix this so I can see all my email accounts that are listed that I receive mail from?  the email program is working fine and I get all my mail where it needs to go, but I can only apply message rules to two of those accounts.  Thank you
 
Hello,
Since last night, I am getting a Delivery Status Notification (Delay) message back from every email I send from Outlook.com - via the web.  When I send the email from my WP8 everything goes right through.
 
Yes, the email accounts are valid - the same email message that is delayed in Outlook.com, can be forwarded to the same recipient via the WP8 and it goes right through.  This is happening in Outlook.com whether on a public internet, or while using my WP8 as a hotspot.
 
The status.live.com shows no issues.
 
Any support is appreciated.
 
Regards,
Ed

 

I set up a new PC with Windows 8. My old Vista 64 PC was using Windows Live Mail 2011 and had several years of email messages with about a dozen different pop email accounts. It always worked perfectly.

 

Due to having multiple pop email accounts, I installed Windows Live Mail 2012 on the Windows 8 machine and using the Easy Transfer cable I brought in my email accounts and all my messages. But now, for some reason, a few of the accounts will not save the passwords and other account settings, such as "Leave messages on server", etc.

 

I have tried everything I can think of, run as administrator, and have searched the forums to no avail.

 

I still get my emails, and for now leave Windows Live Mail open so I don't have to type in the passwords every time I want to check my email. But that is not right.

 

What can I do?

1. I renamed the folders / accounts 8/18/2013    I was using windows live mail and was trying to consolidate my 3 email folders / accounts into one email account with the folders.

2. Data was still there after I consolidated folders / accounts until I did a re start and the email accounts were updated in the windows live mail. What I did also effected the outlook folders. Most were gone.

3. No isssues logging in

4. Don't remember clicking on any other links

5. Didn't close account or de activate

6. No isssues logging into the account

7. Last time I logged into my account was today 8/19/13
