Why do I receive a "Server Busy" error message trying to send email with FileMaker?

When trying to send email using FileMaker Pro / Pro Advanced, you may receive a "Server Busy" error, as shown below:

FileMaker - Server Busy Error


This error is caused by a mismatch in the bit-level of your Microsoft Outlook client and FileMaker, e.g. 32-bit FileMaker with 64-bit Outlook and vice-versa.

To fix the issue, contact your local IT support personnel and have them install a version of FileMaker that matches your Outlook client.
