"The TCP/IP connect was unexpectedly terminated by the server (Account: MyEmailAccount Error Code 0x800ccc0f)" From out of nowhere Outlook stopped sending my email--still receives just fine. This has nothing to do with my ISP or SMTP server--I've tested this already. It's strictly a software issue or other bug with OS/Office. The only thing that I noted was it started after I created a document in Word and then attempted to send it directly from there--I believe that was my first ever attempt at that. Any ideas? p.s. Kenny, thanks for your advice, but still no luck Drew

Have you tried the Office 2k service pack? its a free download... http://kcnetwork.net/bbs/

I too had a similar problem as you discribe, from out of no where my Outlook 2ooo would not send email, only recieve. I tried everything, short re formstting the hard disk! I found the problem now, remove spell check and then try to send the email. For some reason my pc ate msspell.dll files. Pc tells me theres 2 of these files missing that should be in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Proof. Funny thing is there is only one on the office2k CD. I coppied the one from the CD in to the folder described aboved and still i have the same problem ! so fo rhte time being i have turned off spell check ! If you find out what else it is , drop me a line please :)
