Outlook 2010 Intermittently goes into Offline Mode
Posted on 2013-01-07
I have a client who is running Outlook 2010 on her Windows 7 PC.
She finds that Outlook intermittentyly goes into Offline mode withough her doing anything.
She then has to click on Work Offline button to deactivate it so that she can send and receive email.
HYas anyone else come across such and issue where Outlook 2010 just goes into Offline mode?
There has also been a few occassions where she has not been able to turn the offline mode off, so she just leaves it till later and she is then able to do it.
She has Service Pack 1 installed.
The only thing I can try now is to uninstall Office 2010 and then reinstall it and see if that fixes anything.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

To create a new Outlook profile go to Mail (32 bit) in the Control Panel (Windows 7).
Click on the Show Profiles button under Profiles.
Click on the Add button.
Give the new profile a different name from your existing profile.
Follow the instructions and Outlook will connect to the Exchange server and automatically create a new profile.
With a new profile, you can now have Outlook prompt you regarding which profile you want to use when Outlook starts. You can also specify one of the profiles for Outlook to use automatically.
If you specify a profile, be sure you specify the new one you just created. This will ensure Outlook will start up and look for a connection to the Exchange server rather than ignore the Exchange server and Work Offline.
