      You will send emails from Outlook by disabling Windows Firewall. Sometime Firewall is restricted only for sending e-mails.

      You can disable system antivirus temporarily and Microsoft Outlook plugins. Then recreate the Outlook profiles. If none of this works then try inbuilt tool (scanpst.exe).

    Yesterday I have upgraded Windows 8 to Windows 10. But after an update when I try to access Microsoft Outlook it gives an error message: Error “0x800CCC13 cannot connect to the network”. Then I put my efforts and apply few methods like Update Driver, Registry Editor, and ScanPST.exe. But still, I am clueless.
