Outlook Error 'Could not load an object'

When you try to open an item in one of the Microsoft Outlook programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section, you may receive the following error message:
Could not load an object because it is not available on this machine.

There is a reference to an ActiveX control in the item's form, and you do not have the appropriate library files for that control registered and installed on your computer.

To resolve this behavior use either of these two methods.

Method 1
Click OK to the error message. The item should open without displaying the problem control.

Method 2
Contact the author of the form to determine how to install and register the control on your computer. This method may involve installation of an additional program that provides the control.

I hope it is useful for Outlook Support...

Outlook POP3 Error And SMTP Error

POP3 Errors

Problems that occur with Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) will affect the receipt and download of your emails. You may receive any of the following error messages when MSEO experiences POP3 issues:

0x800420CB: Mail cannot be stored on server
0x800CCC90: Client response invalid
0x800CCC91: Invalid user name or user not found
0x800CCC92: Password not valid for account.
0x800CCC93: Unable to interpret response.
0x800CCC94: Command required.
0x800CCC95: No messages on server.
0x800CCC96: No messages marked for retrieval.
0x800CCC97: Message ID out of range.

POP3 errors usually occur as a result of a temporary glitch, a file corruption, or because of incorrect account details.
Check to be sure that your connection details are correct. You may have changed you account details recently and failed to note those changes in MSOE or perhaps you have initiated “caps lock” while entering your case-sensitive password. The easiest way to see if your connection details are correct is to use window’s Telnet program. This will verify whether your details are incorrect or if the error is related to another MSOE issue.

To use Telnet click “start” and choose “run”. In the prompt window, type cmd (when using Windows NT, 2000 or XP) or type command (when using Windows 95, 98 or ME). In the new window type telnet 110 then click “enter”.

At this point, you should be connected to the mail server and you should receive a response “+OK Hello there”. This response confirms that you are connected to the mail server. Type, user and hit “enter”. If the username is correct, you should get the following message “+OK Password required”. Type, pass and hit “enter”. If the password is correct, the mail server will say, “+OK Well done”.

SMTP Errors

Problems that occur with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) will affect your ability to send emails. You may receive any of the following error messages when MSEO experiences POP3 issues:

0x800CCC60: Invalid response.
0x800CCC61: Unknown error code.
0x800CCC62: Syntax error returned.
0x800CCC63: Parameter syntax incorrect.
0x800CCC64: Command not implemented.
0x800CCC65: Improper command sequence.
0x800CCC66: Command not implemented.
0x800CCC67: Command not available.
0x800CCC68: Mailbox is locked and busy.
0x800CCC69: Mailbox not found.
0x800CCC6A: Error processing request.
0x800CCC6B: User mailbox is known, but mailbox not on this server.
0x800CCC6C: No space to store messages.
0x800CCC6D: Storage limit exceeded.
0x800CCC6E: Invalid mailbox name syntax.
0x800CCC6F: Transaction failed.
0x800CCC78: Unknown sender.
0x800CCC79: Server rejected recipients.
0x800CCC7A: No sender address specified.
0x800CCC7B: No recipients specified.

STMP problems often occur because of a temporary glitch. However, it is possible that the outgoing mail server address is incorrect. Verify that your outgoing mail server address is correct. This is the first thing you should check.

If your outgoing mail server address is correct, test your access to port 25 and see if your email is being blocked, using a telnet client. If you can connect to the outgoing mail server through port 25, this will confirm that the issue is with the application itself or your settings.

To use Telnet click “start” and choose “run”. In the prompt window, type cmd (when using Windows NT, 2000 or XP) or type command (when using Windows 95, 98 or ME). In the new window type telnet 25 then click “enter”.

At this point, you should be connected to the mail server and you should receive a response that begins with “220”, which confirms that port 25 is open. If you do not receive the “220” response, either the mail server is not functioning properly, you're not connected to the Internet or something on your system is blocking port 25.

Built on open Internet standards, Outlook Express is designed for use with any Internet standard system, for example, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), and Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP). It provides full support for today's most important e-mail, news, and directory standards such as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension Hypertext Markup Language (MHTML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME), and Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). Full support ensures that you can take advantage of new technologies as well as seamlessly send and receive e-mail.

What is a Microsoft Exchange account?

Some features in Outlook require you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Exchange is an e-mail-based collaborative communications server for businesses. Licenses for Exchange can be purchased from Microsoft and its resellers. Exchange Services Provide Online Outlook Support and Email Support for the Outlook.
If your organization uses Exchange, but you do not know whether you have an account or how to use it, you must contact your organization's Help desk or network administrator for assistance.

Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) or use a Web-based e-mail service, such as Windows Live Mail. If you use a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) e-mail account, your ISP can provide you with your specific account information. People without Exchange accounts cannot use the features in Outlook that require Exchange.
The Help for features that require an Exchange account includes one of the following notations:
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, Exchange Server 2003, or Exchange Server 2007 account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 account. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.
• This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or Exchange Server 2007 account in Cached Exchange Mode. Most home and personal accounts do not use Microsoft Exchange.

How to AutoRecover and AutoSave work

The AutoRecover option (in these Microsoft Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Visio) and AutoSave option (in Microsoft Office Outlook) can help you avoid losing work in two ways:

• Your data is automatically saved If you enable Auto Recover or AutoSave, your file (such as a Microsoft Office Word document) or item (such as an Outlook Support and Outlook e-mail message) is automatically saved as often as you want. Therefore, if you have been working for a long time but forget to save a file or if your power goes out, the file you have been working on contains all or at least some of the work you have done since you last saved it.
• Your program state is automatically saved In Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office Word, there is an additional benefit to enabling AutoRecover or AutoSave. In these programs, if you enable this option, some aspects of the state of the program are recovered when the program is restarted after it closed abnormally.

For example, you are working on several Excel workbooks at the same time. Each file is open in a different window, with specific data visible in each window. In one of the workbooks, a cell is selected to help you keep track of which rows you already reviewed, and then Excel crashes. When you restart Excel, it opens the workbooks again and restores the windows to the way they were before Excel crashed.

Although not every aspect of your program's state can be recovered, in many cases, the Recovery feature can help you recover more quickly.
