Errors sending emails from Outlook Express: 0x800C0131 and 0x800C013B

A user complained about the following problem. When sending emails from Outlook Express he got the following error: "An unknown error has occurred. Account: '...', Server: '...', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C0131"

A solution was found at Microsoft KB article 233264

The result was a mixed success. The original error was gone, however, while the user's mail folders were intact, their hierarchy disappeared. This was a minor annoyance, as the user could easily recreate his folder hierarchy. However, a new error replaced the old one: "An unknown error has occurred. Account: '...', Server: '...', Protocol: POP3, Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800C013B

This was tracked down to Microsoft KB article 253795. The article advised to rename Sent Items.dbx file, which we were reluctant to do as we didn't want to loose the user's sent emails. Instead we created a new folder TempSentItems, temporarily moved all emails from Sent Items to it, then deleted Sent Items. When Outlook Express recreated Sent Items folder, we moved the saved emails from TempSentItems to it and deleted the temporary folder.

The ideas and recommendations you've posted are good and beneficial. Right before purchasing an application, one should try it by downloading a demo version. The software has to be reputable enough to ensure that it recovers on very first attempt otherwise it can cause harm to data. Disk Doctors has some great tools which can recover pst, so get this for the best results.
