The error message displayed on the screen reads: "An unknown error occurred, error code: 0x8004010d" or "reported error (0x8004010d): 'There is not enough disk space available for this operation." Understanding when the error appears and its causes can help users find a suitable solution to resolve the issue.

The reasons behind Outlook error 0x8004010d

  1. Not enough disk space. Lack of disk space on the local computer is the primary cause of the 0x8004010d error.

  3. Corrupted Outlook profile. Another frequent reason behind the 0x8004010d error is a corrupted or damaged Outlook profile. This could happen due to an unexpected shutdown, system crash, or other issues that may affect the integrity of the Outlook data file.
  4. Damaged or oversized PST/OST file. The 0x8004010d Outlook error is often caused by an oversized, damaged, corrupted, or missing Outlook data file.
  5. PST file grows more than 4Gb on the FAT32 drive. If your drive uses the FAT32 file system, the maximum file size of which is 4GB, Outlook error 0x8004010d is displayed.
  6. Incorrect account configuration. If the email account is not properly configured within Outlook, it may lead to the 0x8004010d error. Incorrect server settings or incomplete account setup can prevent Outlook from accessing the mailbox or synchronizing the data with the server.
  7. Network connectivity issues. A poor or unstable network connection may cause difficulties in synchronizing the local data with the server, resulting in the 0x8004010d error in Outlook. This could be due to problems with the user's internet connection, the email server, or a temporary disruption in service.
  8. Interference from antivirus or firewall. Sometimes, antivirus software or firewalls can interfere with Outlook's functionality and cause errors. Overly aggressive security settings or false positives could block Outlook from accessing the server or synchronizing data properly.
  9. Outdated or incompatible Outlook version. Using an outdated or incompatible version of Microsoft Outlook may lead to the 0x8004010d error. Certain features or functionalities might not work correctly in older versions, causing issues with mailbox access and synchronization.
  10. Improper migration or upgrade. When migrating from one email client to Outlook or upgrading to a newer Outlook version, improper migration or incomplete upgrade processes can lead to the 0x8004010d error. This is because some crucial settings or files might not be transferred correctly during the process.
  11. Add-ins or plugins causing conflicts. Some add-ins or plugins installed in Outlook could cause conflicts or compatibility issues, resulting in Outlook error 0x8004010d. These add-ins may interfere with Outlook's normal operation or cause errors while accessing the mailbox or synchronizing data with the server.
