The “Not Implemented” error in Outlook 2013 is a common and often frustrating issue that can prevent you from performing basic tasks like sending or receiving emails.
It can be caused by a variety of factors, and there’s no single solution that works for everyone. However, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the problem.
Here are the most common causes and fixes:
1️⃣ Outlook Add-ins Causing Issues
Add-ins can interfere with sending or receiving emails.
Fix: Start Outlook in Safe Mode
If the error doesn’t appear in Safe Mode, disable unnecessary add-ins:
File → Options → Add-ins → Manage → COM Add-ins → Uncheck all → Restart Outlook.
2️⃣ Corrupted Outlook Profile
A damaged mail profile can trigger this error.
Fix: Create a New Profile
Close Outlook.
Open Control Panel → Mail (32-bit).
Click Show Profiles → Add.
Create a new profile and set it as Default.
Open Outlook and test.

3️⃣ Damaged Outlook Installation
Some program files may be broken.
Fix: Repair Office
Go to Control Panel → Programs and Features.
Find Microsoft Office 2013 → Change → Repair.
Choose Quick Repair first; if it doesn’t work, try Online Repair.
4️⃣ Corrupted PST or OST File
If the data file is damaged, Outlook can throw “Not Implemented.”
Fix: Scan and Repair
Locate SCANPST.EXE (Inbox Repair Tool) in your Office installation folder.
Run it and browse to your PST/OST file.
Click Start to repair.
5️⃣ Wrong Send/Receive Settings
If your Send/Receive groups are corrupted, Outlook may fail.
Fix: Reset Send/Receive Groups
File → Options → Advanced → Send/Receive.
Create a new group and remove the old one.
💡 Tip: Always back up your PST/OST files before repairing or creating new profiles.
If these manual methods fail to resolve the issue, it may indicate a more severe problem with your Office installation or system files. At that point, a complete uninstall and reinstall of Microsoft Office might be necessary.
