    - Search folder return inconsistent results Hi, I have a user running Outlook 2003 11.5608.5606 on Windows XP Sp2 connecting to Exchange 2000. When the user creates a search folder and searches, the results randomly omit sent mails, resulting in gaps in the conversation. We've ran an integrity check on the store and it passed fine, also ran offline defrag. I don't know if this is related but when the user replies to a mail in his PST file his name doesn't appear in the 'from' box, this is only with PST mails. Anybody come across this?

    - Outlook 2003 Usepecified error Hi, I am having real problems trying to resolve an issue with outlook 2003 with Word as the e-mail editor. I am trying to forward an e-mail with about 5 pdf attachments that come to about 3mb in size, when I try to send the e-mail I get an "Unspecified error" If I turn off the word as the e-mail editor it works ok and sends the e-mail ok. I have also changed the text from html to plain text but i then get a 2nd error which I have managed to get rid of but readind the kb base article 870707. I have also tried running the detect and repair along with installing the latest service pack but nothing seem to resolve the issue properly. Is there anybody out there that can provide a permenant fix for this rather than a work around? Please help. Regards Andy Tag: What's the risk of Outlook add-ins corrupting the mail database?

    - Outlook IMAP and Gmail Some time ago I tried setting up Gmail to work with IMAP and my installed copies of Outlook 2003 on the PCs at home. I was hoping that whatever PC we jumped onto and logged into that we'd be able to see our email as if we were viewing them on the one computer. Much like if you had Exchange Server set up. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work properly, ie. synchronising email folders, or having email from various email accounts all going through Gmail. I was wondering if there is any solution out there that I could try. Short of purchasing Exchange and then trying to learn how to drive it, is there an easier way of centralising emails, saved emails, Outlook folders and the like?

    - OWA 2003 and SSL Security Vulnerability Hello-- I'm hoping you can provide some direction. We currently are running Exchange 2003 Enterprise with an OWA server in the DMZ. Yes.. I know best practices recommend routing this traffic through an ISA server. There is a trusted SSL certificate on the server and we have many mobile device users. Anyway, on a recent scan, we received the following security notice. SSLv2 Supported This SSL service supports SSLv2 connections. SSLv2 has known cryptographic weaknesses. Secure web applications should only enable the SSLv3 or TLSv1 protocols. For PCI compliance validation scans, note that either or both of the SSLv3 or TLSv1 protocols must be enabled (i.e., SSLv2 can not be the only supported protocol version). They provide the following resolution suggestion: Disable the use of SSL 2.0 if possible. Note that some older client software may not support the most recent protocol versions. Refer to the following: Microsoft Knowledge Base article to remove SSLv2 support from Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/187498 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/245030 I've been scouring the boards trying to find out if: 1. Does OWA 2003 support SSL v3? 2. If I follow the suggestions and disable SSLv2, will it affect the users of mobile devices running Windows Mobile 5/6? I haven't been able to locate documentation regarding the supported versions. Any direction would be appreciated! Tag: What's the risk of Outlook add-ins corrupting the mail database? Tag: 609730

    - Outlook blocking our own domain This problem just appeared up this week. SBS 2003 Premium. Exchange 2003. About 30 clients running Outlook 2003, and a couple using Outlook 2007. One user (the owner) using Outlook 2003 has had half a dozen or so emails from within our company sent to his Junk Email folder by Outlook. I set our domain as a safe sender and it shows up in the safe senders list as "@ourdomain.net". Following the examples they use, I tried adding just "ourdomain.net" (no @) but it doesn't appear to be showing up on the list, even after restarting Outlook. Any idea why our domain would suddenly start getting sporadically shifted to Junk Email, and why setting it as a safe sender is being ignored?

    - Outook 2003 and Exchange Server 2003 Hello, We migrated our users' mailboxes from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange Server 2003, new email accounts have been added to our mail server, the new email addresses (users) will only display in the address book it you pull down and display them by "all users". We have a "Global Address List" address book that was used with Exchange 5.5. and all old Exchange 5.5 mail users show up in that address book as well in the "all users" address book. This is not a problem it you are running Office 2007, new and old users will show in both address books. Is there a fix for this problem, We are running Office Outlook 11.8169.8172 (SP3).

If I accidentally press a key on my keyboard while viewing Contacts in the Data File view, the keystroke changes the individual contact. I recently had this happen while on vacation and the one keystroke changed the last name of a contact and I could not remember the original 'last name'.

    - Outlook 2007 sending phantom messages Outlook will not send any messages from my inbox.

Now it continues to report "sending 6 of 6" even though the outbox is empty. When I put a new message in to test it, it will not send that new message. It just hangs up in this 6 of 6 thing.

    - Wierd problem I am receiving some e-mails that are just blank in the message body. When I go to my webmail I can view the message but for some reason the message content is not downloading to Outlook. This is only for a few message and I cannot tell if there is a common thing with the e-mails that are not coming through. Also when I send a message from my Outlook to my office the message shows sent but it is not received at the office. I check the webmail for the office but it is not there. I can forward an e-mail from home and it arrives at the office but not an original message. I thought maybe I had placed a filter on my e-mail but I the "filter" said off. Any ideas ?

    - Event ID 34 and 35 Found a bunch of older posts but no current ones. I'm running XP with BootCamp on a MacBook Pro, but considering how many threads I've found that's not the problem. Yet none of the solutions worked. To reiterate the problem, every time Outlook opens an Event ID: 34 Description: Failed to get the Crawl Scope Manager with error=0x800101od and Event ID: 35 Description: Failed to determine if the store is in the crawl scope (error=0x8001010d) As resolutions I have installed Windows Desktop Search 4.0. I rebuilt the index, and did a reg edit I found on another post in microsoft.public.outlook and I've removed KB952142 and 947801. I unfortunately don't have KB946963, which others removed to actually fix it. Incidentally when I start Outlook I've also received a "a data file did not close properly last time". I used the Scanpst in the Office 12 folder to fix that. Every time I changed the indexing to try to fix the 34 and 35's, I had to re-run Scanpst and fix it again... Any ideas?

    - How to activate message box to reattach removed attachments? Hello, i wrote a script that saves all attachments of incoming emails to the hard disc, deletes them from the email and finally inserts links to the saved attachments into the email. This works perfectly. But afterwards there is a slight problem if i want to forward these mails. If i forward on my machine an email which has linked attachments, Outlooks shows a message box: "The message you are trying to send contains removed attachments.... Do you want to reinsert the original files to the message." (Y/N/C) This is very good. But on my bosses computer this message box doesn't show up. Outlook forwards the email without a warning and without the attachments. My boss and me both have MSO 2007 SP1 installed. No version difference. I normally don't use Outlook so my options should be almost the default ones. He is using Outlook a lot, but i don't know what has been changed. So, where can i find the option that turns on this message box back on? I looked through the options i could find but found none that seems to be related to this problem.

Here's the bit of the post I could access: *** I could reproduce your problem Group: microsoft.public.outlook.general Hi Manfred, I'm running MS Outlook 2000 (9.0.0.2711) internet mail only in Windows XP Pro.

Tag: 609582

Hello,

Just wondering. Our internal developers are starting to write Outlook
add-ins, some of which change sent messages' MAPI properties, e.g.,
activating the Tracking tab, setting its status to "Read" or
"Delivered" with the corresponding date, putting Read or Delivered in
the Tracking Status column in the message list, etc.

In general, do add-ins like that run any significant risk of
corrupting the mail database? I have read about corrupted MAPI
properties causing mailbox-move problems...

Thanks,

- Alan.

It can cause item corruption at times, but most likely will cause
problems with Outlook itself if its not well-behaved.

I don't recall reading any instance of an add-in corrupting the mail
database itself, only individual items.
