I am using Outlook to send email through my asp.net website. It works fine when I try it on my development machine. But When I deploy my website on server, it gives me following error.

'Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {0006F03A-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} failed due to the following error: 80010001'

On both client side and server side, outlook version is 12.0.0.0 . So can you please elaborate what i need to do exactly?

Don't use outlook to send email, you shouldn't be trying to automate office on a web server. Not only is it problematic, there are licensing issues to consider amongst other things

Instead, you should be using the SMTP client .. a very simple example here, have a Google and you will find loads of examples
