For no apparent reason, my outlook profile was corrupted this morning. After a little research, I found the cause and a temporary solution. I thought it may be of interest to you, since you are reading this.
When you click Send and Receive in Microsoft Outlook, the following error message may appear:
The operation failed. An object could not be found.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, create a new profile:
- Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Mail icon.
- In the Mail Setup dialog box, click Show Profiles.
If you want to be able to select a specific profile each time you start Outlook, click the General tab, click Prompt for a profile to be used, and then click Add.
- In the New Profile dialog box, under Profile Name, type a descriptive name for the new profile, and then click OK.
- In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, select Add a new e-mail account in the e-mail options, and then click Next.
- Click the type of server that your e-mail account works with, and then click Next.
- Complete all of the required fields, including those that are on the tabs that appear after you click More Settings.
- When you finish providing the required information, click Finish.
