The error messages may pop up to your computer screen if there is a problem in connection between outlook and email server. These are some of the reasons that might be a reason for the occurrence of the Error message ‘Unknown Error 0x8004020\',

- The Outlook installation files get damaged
- Your personal firewall configuration is incorrect
To solve this problem,
- Check whether you are connected to the internet
- Check if your mail server is available or not. To check this open your internet browser and open any website like http://www.repairpst.info
