Hi,

I just partitioned my HDD and installed windows again. Installed MS office 2003 and now when ever i try to send and receive email i get an error "Task pop.gmail.com reported error 0x80040154"

I have tried all the steps perfectly and account setup is done properly with instructions from gmail.

But its still giving error

Have you tried updating outlook 2003 to service pack 2 and then seen if it works.

I am only guessing but chances are you might have missed the port settings or if you are behind router/firewall thsoe ports might be blocked.

Delete current account from outlook, make new one and just before clicking finish, click on test accoutn settings

Google for "0x80040154 gmail". You will get some solutions. This seems to be a known problem.

Google for "0x80040154 gmail".

Error message 0x80040154 indicates that a COM component is not registered properly. Re-register the particular component and you will be good to go.

Searching the Microsoft Knowledge base for error 0x80040154 indicated that something the Outlook program needed was not installed or not correctly registered within the Windows operating system.

Running the Microsoft Office install in Repair mode (first time selecting find and fix errors, second time telling it to re-install the current setup) did NOT resolve this problem.
The final solution was that to re-install the Windows Address book. (Outlook uses its own Contacts list, and I had previously uninstalled Outlook Express, etc., so it had appeared this was no longer needed.)
