  “Sending reported error (0×80040201): ‘Unknown Error 0×80040201.”

  Cause

  All these symptoms indicate that the Outlook PST that you are using as the default data file is corrupted. The most probable reason could be PST file size above 2 GB. MS Outlook 2002 and its earlier versions have a file size limitation of 2 GB for PST, beyond which PST gains chances of being corrupted. However, PST file corruption can also result from other reasons too.

  Solution

  To repair the corrupted PST, Outlook installation includes a Scanpst.exe file. The file launches ‘Inbox Repair Tool’ that can fix most of the corruption issues associated with Outlook PST. This is a hidden file, so make sure that the ‘Show hidden files and folders’ option is enabled to view the file. Further, you can follow these steps to start repair:

  1. Close Outlook
  2. Click ‘Start’ and then ‘Find’ or ‘Search’
  3. Type ’scanpst.exe’ in the search box
  4. Double-click the file to open ‘Inbox Repair Tool’
  5. Browse to the affected PST and specify the file name
  6. Click ‘Start’ to begin repair
  7. Click ‘OK’
