Outlook 2010 0x800CCC91 error - plaintext authentication disallowed
A user who uses Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 as his email
client reported that he could no longer download email. Whenever the
user would check his email, a window would appear prompting him to
re-enter his userid and password. Even after I reset his password on
the server, the same thing kept happening. At the bottom, right-hand
corner of the Outlook window, I saw a "Send/Receive error" messsage
next to a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark within it.
When I clicked on that error message, I saw "reported error (0x800CCC91):
'Your e-mail server rejected your user name. Verify your user name
for this account in Account Settings. The server responded -ERR [AUTH]
Plaintext authentication disallowed on non-secure (SSL/TLS) connections.'"

Creating local folders in Outlook 2011 on a Mac system
If you wish to create folders in Outlook 2011, which is part of
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, so that you are using less
space on a
Microsoft Exchange Server, where you might have a quota
limiting your mailbox storage, you can create local folders that will result
in the email messages being placed in them being stored on your computer's
disk drive, instead, of on the server. To do so, you can take the following
steps:
-
Click on Outlook at the top of the top, left-hand corner of the
Outlook window.
-
Select Preferences
-
Click on General under Personal Settings. In the General
settings window, uncheck the check boxes next to "Group similar folders, such
as inboxes, from different accounts and "Hide On My Computer folders". You can
then close the window by clicking on the red circle at the upper, left-hand
corner of the window.
-
Click on Inbox under ON MY COMPUTER
-
Click on File then select New and then Folder
-
When you provide a name for the new folder, it will be placed under the
Inbox folder, but you can click on it and drag it up to On MY
COMPUTER to put it at the same level in the hierarchy as the Inbox.
Once you have a folder at the same level as the Inbox folder, you can
create subfolders beneath that folder by clicking on it to select it and then
selecting File, New, and Folder from the
menu bar.
-
To copy a message from the Inbox on the server to the ON MY COMPUTER
inbox, click on the message and drag it to the new location. If you want to move
the message, instead, click on the message to select it then click on
Message from the Outlook menu bar then select Move and select
the folder you created under ON MY COMPUTER that should hold the message.
