    - Can i create a rule for Sent items? Like you can have a rule, that when an item arrives, it goes into a particular folder, can you also have such a rule for SENT items. Like, whenever i send an item to a certain Email address, that it would go into a different folder from the SENT ITEMS folder? If so, can you tell me how to do it, as i do not see an obvious way within the Rules Wizard. Thanks, tom Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 603090

    - Contact information does not appear in the address book Hello, I'm running Outlook 2007 on Vista Ultimate. The contact information doesn't appear in my Outlook address book. So I followed instructions in this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287563. However, when I try to perform these steps: Step 2: Mark your contact folder for use with your address book 1. On the File menu, point to Folder, and then click Properties for your folder name. 2. On the Outlook Address Book tab, click to select the Show this folder as an e-mail address book check box, type a descriptive name, and then click OK. I cannot do this, because the checkbox is disabled. Do you know how to fix this? I would appreciate any help. Thank you, Peter Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 603080

    - Domain Name Stripping Good evening! I wanted to ask if Outlook 2003 (not sure of the SP level...hopefully SP3) can perform Domain Name Stripping? Situation is that a client of ours receives e-mails from a third-party web site that takes orders on their behalf and then e-mails certain users to notify them that "your client placed an order". Well, for the last two weeks now there has been a problem when the client opens up one of those e-mails and hits "Reply to all". All we see is "joe.blow@" instead of joe.blow@somedomain.com. Now, if we look at the headers we see this: joe.blow@ <somedomain.com joe.blow@somedomain.com> for each of the recipients...some of whom are internal and some of whom are external. To me it sounds like the "form" on the third-party's .asp web site has been changed somehow. They, of course, are extremely confident that the problem is not on their side. BTW - our client is running Exchange Server 2007 SP1 (has been for awhile now). Thanks, Cary PS. Already posted a question in the exchange.admin newsgroup. Just checking in here to be completely thorough. Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 603077

    - Sending distribution list externally loses formatting Hello, I have a user who has a problem with sending Distribution Lists as an attachment. He uses Outlook 2003 and was trying to send one of his Distribution Lists as an attachment. He would open the DL, and then click on Action -> Forward to send the DL as an attachment. Internal recipients receive the attachment fine, and can add the DL to their Contacts. External recipients receive it as a .msg attachment so it looks like an attached e-mail message with nothing inside. DLs are sent in .msg format when sent as an attachment, but the formatting is lost somewhere so that it becomes unusable for external recipients. This is on an Exchange 2007 server. My company also runs an Exchange 2007 server and I can recreate the same issue with Outlook 2007 within my own organization (internal works, external does not), so it is not a user specific issue. I have tried "dragging and dropping," I have tried "inserting item," I have tried RTF, but no matter what the DL is always received as a blank .msg attachment to external recipients. The user said this used to work, which may have been when they were on Exchange 2003. Can anybody confirm this is working for their Exchange 2007 setup?

    - Where Does Outlook Store Info? Computer Problems Recently the power supply, motherboard, & CPU on my computer died. So I had a new motherboard, power supply, CPU and hard drive installed. The new hard drive is larger and faster than the old one. This required that Windows XP, Microsoft Office, etc, had to be installed. But before any of that was done, the technician took everything off the old hard drive and saved it into a file on the new one. All of the old data files, etc, are supposed to be there. My question, though, is how to find the address book and the saved emails that were on the old computer & put them into Outlook on the new computer? I know very little about computers, except how to turn it on and off, and how to check emails, surf the web, and how to use Word. So any help you might give will need to be in very simple step-by-step directions. Thanks Osrmsc Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 603052

    - Automatically download attached images for emails When I receive an email that has embedded graphics, say, a note from an Ebayer advising you of an item, the graphics aren't downloaded. I have to right click and manually download them. I understand that this is for security so you don't download viruses, trojans, etc.. However the email account that I use doesn't receive spam so this isn't an issue. I tried to find the option to allow the images to automatically be displayed but I can't seem to find it.

    - Relay Access Denied Windows XP SP2 - all patched and up to date Outlook 2003 - all patched and up to date Box for "My outgoing server requires authentication" is unticked and always has been. From today I keep getting sent emails returned to me with the message: host virus-mx.bur.connect.com.au[210.8.230.18]said: 554 5.7.1 <---------------------------@hotmail.com>: Relay access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command) This is with all addresses I'm sending to. Everything's been fine until today and I haven't changed anything. I read that I should tick the box about authentication but then read elsewhere that it should remain unticked. Other people have said they ticked it and it made no difference but there was no resolution except to change something in the hosts file. Does anyone else know about this? Thanks.

    - OL2K3 - Previewed and Replied-to mail still shown as unread This one completely baffles me... Outlook 2003, POP only accounts. Normal operation: Mail is previewed and replied to. Randomly, it will stop marking the mail in the list as read or replied to. I didn't believe him at first, but I checked his sent mail and sure enough, all of them were replied to, but they shown as unread and not- replied-to on the normal list view. By the time I showed up, I it works fine, the flag goes to read-status as I preview through the emails. I've applied every update to Outlook there is to update. I have rebuilt his PST file from scratch, I have rebuilt his profile from scratch, and none of it seems to help. He is using the Qurb plug-in, but he had updated to the CA Anti-Spam a while back which caused another problem where mail would get stuck in his outbox. I uninstalled CA Anti-Spam and put back Qurb, and that problem is gone. I have never seen this before, has anybody else? JD Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 603022

    - Outlook 2007 - Update KB946983 - Calendar attachment with links Hi All, I have a problem since applying MS Update KB946983 to my XP system with Outlook 2007 on it. I have a program that sends email out from a server with a Calendar Attachment (.ics) attached to it. Before the MS update, when the user would open the calendar attachment in Outlook they would be presented with the standard 3 button (Acept/Decline and Tentative). Now that I have applied the update, those button do not show and the user can not Accept, etc.. the meeting request. I have determined that this is due to the fact that the "Description" tag in the attachment which contains text about the meeting (and shows up in the body of the meeting when opened) has some text in it with a URL (ie: http://www/someserver.com) and that is causing the problem since applying the MS update. I cannot take out the URL from the description (nor do I want to since I want the user to be able to click on the URL link in the body of the calendar meeting) and this still works when opened in Outlook 2002/2003. Does anyone have any ideas on a workaround? Thanks! Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 603011

    - KB946983 and Vista 64 Outlook 2007 This update was installed within days of appearing on the list of updates (11th March 2008 on my PC.

If another program window overlaid the reading pane, then it didn't refresh after the other program window was moved away. Messages did, however, open in separate windows when double clicked. I rolled back the updates and have finally had time to redo them one by one and identify KB946983 as the offending update.

    - Subject: Outlook 2007 - So slow I think I might lose my job !! I am about to give up. I do not know what to do. I have a 100 user exchange 2003 server. CPU idle most of the day, gigs of memory free, been running for years. Updated to Outlook 2007 through most of the company, and things seemed fine at first. However, the rage of my users has been growing. I really *really* dont want to go back to 2003, but our users have large mailboxes, rougthly 5 GB+. We have some that are over 10 GBs. Outlook 2003 had NO problems with this, it worked fine. Outlook 2007 is a disaster, terribly slow, just clicking between emails results in 10 second waits, typing randomly delayed and switching folders you can go get a cup of coffee and come back in time for your mail. I have been trying to figure out what could be the problem, it certainly doesnt seem server related, it runs in Cached mode. Flipping through email should not result in any network traffic (especially read email). There is just lag, constant lag for half of my users. I only have 2.7 GBs of mail, and I have no issues. After 5 GB though, problems crop up, over 7 GB its terrible, around 10, just use web mail at this point. The machines these are on are either Vista (SP1) or XP. The machines are Dell Optiplex systems, 2 GB Ram, fast drives, most less than 1 year old. Office is SP1 Would upgrading to Exchange 2007 help? I do not think so as the server is idle most of the day. What can I do? Is my answer just delete 8 gigs of your important mail? I see countless articles about this on the web, but no fix, why? Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 602956

    - Attn Brian Tillman - emails in outlook, gmail etc Last week Brian Tillman (MVP) helped me with a sending problems regarding Outlook, suggesting that I set up a gmail account and use it as the outgoing. I think it is going to work, so thanks. My question and if Brian can get back to me, is when I send something from my outlook account, it is also appearing in the sent folder of my gmail. Is there a way to autmatically have them deleted from the gmail sent or do I need to go in there from time to time to do by hand.

    - O2003/O2007: How to delete E-mail from server when I move it from Hello, all. We're using Netscape, and would like to switch to Outlook. However, there's a problem: Netscape has the option to [X] Leave messages on server ... [X] Until I delete or move them from Inbox. <------ Outlook does not seem to allow this option - only deleting messages from server when deleted from "Deleted Items" folder. Reason this is a problem: we need to keep all E-mails archived in local folders, on each computer. Deleting them is NOT an option. So, here's my question: Is it possible to set up Outlook to delete a message from server when the message has been manually moved to a folder other than Inbox? (Moved manually, not by a rule). If so, how is this possible? Macros / VB scripts? Third-party plugins? The OS on all computers is Windows XP, Outlook version is either 2003 or 2007. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    - Security Settings IE 6.0 and Outlook 2003 Which security settings on my computer do I lower or change in order NOT to constantly get all those irritating IE pop up windows every time I click a link, open a picture, download something etc. I get that "You are leaving a secure connection" one. I also get various other ones such as "do you want to open this file from an unknown source?" and various others having to do with my security settings being set too tight, I guess. I am not overly concerned with alot of security as much as I am with these goofy pop up windows all the time that take alot of extra time to click them closed when I am working in a feverish mode. As mentioned earlier, I don't surf much with this computer, it's mostly for work only so high security isn't an issue for me. There are so many confusing choices to do with "scripts" etc. in the security tab of the control panel setting and I am afraid I will check or uncheck the wrong ones. Can someone please tell me which ones I should change? Thanks. Tag: Creating Personal Holiday Calendar Tag: 602914
