I have been trying to fix Outlook for three days now. With the help of Earthlink, Geek Squad, etc. I am unable to send or receive emails through through my Outlook. Web mail is fine.

    Incoming mail comes 1 to 2 times a day, usually overnight and mid-day.

    Outgoing sits as a draft until it either does not send or sends.

    Calendar invites disappear.

    Other mail clients work as normal (Thunderbird & Iphone). Only one that doesn't is Outlook.

    Had this same issue a year ago.

    So, what happens when you try? Mail sits in the Outbox? Error messages? Non-delivery reports from your recipients? Any details you can share will certainly help, thanks!

    July 4 and the issue is still continuing. Outlook receives mail once or twice a day. Sending emails may not ever go out. Calendar invites are impacted also.

    Does anyone have a good alternative to Outlook for email and calendar? I have Thunderbird, however the user interface is poor and the calendar invites do not appear to work.
