Have you tried resetting to first run status? We had this issue with outlook still pulling credentials off our old mail server on certain machines

 

Type these in cmd

 

reg.exe delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook /f

 

reg.exe add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles\Outlook

Remove the standard outlook profile and create a new one. Also temporary removing the proxy whilst its sets up sorts this out too.

Thanks we just discovered on Monday, that making the email server a local site under bypass proxy server in Internet Explorer makes it work Cheers

I've had the same issue, found a KB relating to it, https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3119083 seems to be my issue, maybe it was yours?

Yesterday, I had encountered the same problem in Outlook 2016 without any prior notice. Then, I took the assistance of ScanPST.exe to eliminate this error. But, it failed repeatedly before scanning entire Outlook data file.

 

I also went through ScanPST.exe alternatives but no one is freeware. Till now, I have collected some useful references:

But, the above references are talking about paid tools. If possible, help me to find any freeware.
