Microsoft Outlook XP 2002 0x8004060c

Was receiving the following error message in Outlook 2002 when trying to send/receive email:

Sending and Receiving reported error 0x8004060C (0X8004060C) Unknown Error: 0X8004060C

After googling, came to this page (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304863) which explains the error in more or less words.

Short Answer: your PST file is full, you need to either start using a new PST file and use your old one as an Archive (quickest method I think), or create a new PST File, and move a bunch of your old emails into it (from the old PST file), and then compact your old PST file (google for how if you don't know how).

Problem fixed.

sidenote: a person may want to setup auto-archiving of older emails to another PST file to help avoid this, until the archive pst file becomes full, and then you'll have to adjust the destination to an additional (new) archive pst file after creating another one to use.

fi.
