Microsoft Outlook - Repair account

Please note: starting with Outlook 2016 the account repair is not possible anymore. The button 'repair' is greyed out by default and is therefore deactivated.

Often you can fix problems regarding the functionality of the MS Outlook account (e.g. Out of office assistant not bootable, appointments not synchronized, display of connection errors, ...) by repairing the account.

To do this carry out the following steps: 

• Close MS Outlook
• Please open in MS Windows: Start --> Control panel --> (User accounts and child protection) --> Mail (32- bit) 
• Press the button 'E-mail Accounts...' and mark the account that has to be repaired 

•  Click  
• Enter the inbox address as follows: zih-login@msx.tu-dresden.de

• When the repair was successful the following window will open:

• Complete the repair by clicking 'Finish'.
