How to Fix Outlook 2011 Error Code 17199 – An Unknown Error Has Occurred
While using the Macintosh, configuring the Outlook in it is sometimes very annoying. The reason for saying so is that when you are about to send the important email to someone and the error Code 17199 pops up. The message that appears looks something like the following:
An unknown error has occurred in Outlook. A message in your Outlook could not be sent. The account which created the message could not be found.
Error code: – 17199
This leaves you disheartened and scared. You don’t want your system to crash. You become so desperate that you start to re-send the message again and again but nothing happens. This situation is bizarre. You want to get out of it ASAP.
Reasons for this Error
Outlook for the Mac book has a different configuration. It uses the OLM files to store the user Mailbox information and saves it in the storage drive. These OLM files at times are not accessible due to the violation of certain conditions. The reason for happening this differs. Sometimes this could happen due to the following reasons:-
- Crashing of the Outlook abruptly in the Mac causes the failure to access the Mac OLM files.
- Sometimes the virus attacks the network which enters the Mac system and corrupts the existing OLM files.
- If there is any kind of intervention while installing Mac Outlook then there is a chance that it might corrupt the OLM file.
- If the storage media is corrupted it creeps into the system. Even if it is a portable data that is stored.
- If the server of the Microsoft Exchange crashes.
- When the Outlook application is being shut down improperly or forcefully.
- If you import the Mac OLM files to Outlook for Windows without changing the format.
- Enhanced storage size issues
This OLM file the error code 17199 in the OLM files is a very stubborn error and it is really a tough task to fix it. Even if you re-install the MS office app you will not get rid of it.
Resolve the Error code 17199: “An unknown error has occurred in Outlook”
My resolution to fix the aforesaid glitch involves three steps, by following these steps you can fix error code: 171799:
- Connect to the web: Take a test to check whether you can log in through the web-based app or not. For example, try to log in to your Google + account, if you login successfully then that’s great, else get in touch with the email provider to assign you a new username and password.
- All the emails of the Outbox have to be sent to Trash. Open the outbox folder and delete all the pending emails. Now execute the Send /receive process. If the problem is still not fixed then hop on the next step.
Username and the password has to be re-typed: to successfully take this step, perform the following action step by step –
- Open Outlook Application on your PC.
- Click Accounts in the Tools menu option.
- Choose your email account, which will appear on the left pane of the window.
- Enter the Email Address which is error-free and its password.
- Make sure that the listed Outgoing Server and Incoming server are precise.
- The red button has to be clicked by using the cursor, in the upper left corner. This action will close the window.
