The Outlook Express error 0x800CCC79 is basically an SMTP authentication error which appears in Microsoft Outlook Express while users are trying to make an attempt to send e-mails.

The rejected e-mail address will appear as ‘[email protected]’ where the subject is represented as Subject ‘Re: Test’, Account. Hence it calls for a necessary action to resolve the issue faster and here we will explain the process to Fix Outlook Express Error 0x800CCC79 with detailed explanation.
