The message reads \u2018Connection to the server failed or was dropped error &#8211; 3253\u2019. They report that emails, upon pressing Send, reside in Outbox with a pending status.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if emails are not getting sent! Phew! Your work can come to a halt and your world turns upside down. Hence, these issues require being addressed immediately. Here we provide some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue and get you back to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution 1: Delete old Outlook preferences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can try deleting old and cached Outlook preferences to reduce overhead.

You should be able to send emails after performing this step. If this doesn\u2019t work, proceed to the next section.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution 2: Set up an email account in a new profile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Setting up the new email account in a new profile resolves the error in some cases.
