In Outlook 7 I suddenly can't receive my e-mail and get the error message
"unknown error 0x80040600"

Can anyone help me to know where to look for the problem?

Thanks1

You may have a problem with your Personal Folders (.PST) file:

"0x80040119" and "Unknown error" error messages when you try to read, send,
receive, or delete e-mail in Outlook

Thanks K. Orland,

This solved my problem. It was a corrupt Outlook.pst file.

I am glad you took the time to respond! I hope I can do the same for others
in the future.

after doing all this ,I get the a error message stating that the pst file is
in use by another application. Close Microsoft Office outlook and all other
mail-enabled applications, and try again.

I did all the above and I still get vthe same message.
