MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / September 2007The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the pro
When I try to delete a contact in my Outlook 2000, I receive an error as in the Subject. I use Windows XP SP2. My Outlook.pst is 7345 kb and I do not use Outlook for email. The contacts are shared with Outlook Express. It doesn't help to restart Outlook. List the steps to reproduce the error more accurately. Make sure you make changes to your Contact Records only within Outlook, never in OE and never in the address book view.

I open Outlook to Contacts, click on a contact to be deleted and then click the X for deletion. I instantly receive an error - X Outlook The messaging interface has received an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook. I run a 3 computer wireless network and regularly update Outlook through My Network Places using the select all and then the copy feature. All 3 computers are receiving the same error. Otherwise all other features of Outlook work fine. I can add Contacts with no problem. I have used Outlook for many years and have a very large number of contacts in the file. I was unaware that I shouldn't make changes in OE and have no doubt some of the contacts have been entered that way over the years. I tried the Inbox Repair Tool but tit didn't help. I have 4 files in my Outlook folder extend.dat(2 kb), outlook.text (113 kb), outlook.pst (7744 kb.) and outlook.bak (7776 kb.) Hope this helps.

You should never access a PST file over a network. Unfortunately IMO mode of Outlook has no good options for repairing problems like this.

Then you probably have a corrupt connection to your PST file from accessing it the way you do. IMO mode provides no option to repair it unless you hack the registry to create a new "profile."
