I think my problem is similar. I Cannot send/receive email after
installing Office Pro 2003 including Outlook 2003. Using Windows 2000
OS, auto updated regularly. I Have done everything I can find to do so
far at support:
Have uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook 2003
Have used detect and repair function at Add/Remove Programs
Have changed profile at Control Panel - Mail
Have changed profile in Outlook 2003
Have renamed file outcmd.dat to outcmd.old
Have confirmed ISP server settings are correct
Rebooted after every fix attempt.
Can access email at ISP web server
Can access internet
Have not installed any other programs since installed Office 2003 Pro.
Still cannot send or receive email in Outlook 2003.
