However, if it is blocked by firewall, has DNS issue, or is misconfigured, Outlook can return the &lsquo;temporary moved&rsquo; error. If you are a system administrator, follow these steps to resolve the issues:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login to <strong>Outlook Web App<\/strong> and check the <strong>Autodiscover<\/strong> <strong>service<\/strong> using the following link: https:\/\/mail.company.com\/autodiscover\/autodiscover.xml<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the page returns with the <strong>ErrorCode 600<\/strong>, it shows that the Autodiscover service is running. If the page doesn&rsquo;t load or shows XML, your Firewall might be blocking it, therefore you&rsquo;ll have to make an exception for it.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>To enable this service, you have to make exceptions for these Exchange virtual directories: <strong><em>\/owa\/*, \/rpc\/*, \/mapi\/*, \/oab\/*, \/ews\/*, \/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync\/*, and \/Autodiscover\/*<\/em><\/strong>. In Windows Firewall, you can allow all HTTPS traffic by allowing traffic on TCP port 443.

If this is the case, you will have to create a new profile to resolve the error.

To <a>find and remove faulty add-in<\/a>, you can run Outlook in Safe Mode and identify the add-in causing the error by deactivating them one-by-one.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Solution 6: Recreate the OST File<\/strong><\/h3><p>An inconsistent Outlook data file (OST) can also result in the &lsquo;Your mailbox has been temporarily moved on Microsoft Exchange server&rsquo; error. In such a scenario, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/recreate-ost-file-outlook-2007-2010-2013-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rebuild the OST file<\/a> by deleting it after taking its backup. When you launch Outlook after deleting the Outlook data file, it creates a new file and downloads your mailbox data from the server. This removes all the inconsistencies and the data gets stored in the recreated OST file.<\/p><p>However, you might find some of your items missing from your Outlook mailbox. This happens when Outlook, while experiencing the issue, failed to sync some of your items to the mail server. You can recover the missing items from the backup OST file using the Stellar Converter for OST. This powerful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/convert-ost-to-pst.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OST to PST converter tool<\/a> extracts and saves all mailbox data, such as emails, attachments, contacts, notes, etc., in PST format with absolute precision and accuracy. This PST file can then be imported into Outlook using the Import and Export Wizard. You may also choose to save the extracted data in other formats or export it to a live Exchange Server or Office 365 account.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><a><\/a><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2><p>The &lsquo;Your mailbox has been temporarily moved on Microsoft Exchange server&rsquo; in Outlook can prevent you from accessing your mailbox data and perform any send\/receive operations. In this guide, we&rsquo;ve discussed several methods and workarounds, such as enabling cached mode, activating the Autodiscover service, creating new profile, and deleting Outlook profiles other than the primary one. If an inconsistent OST file is causing the error, you can take its backup and rebuild it.
