This basically says that there is a problem with the encryption between your client and the exchange server. However after going though the steps I found my encryption was already ON and so this didn't solve the problem. 2. outlook.exe /resetnavpane. I tried this and it didn't help. 3. outlook.exe /safe I tired running Outlook in the safe mode and it didn't help.
