    - Out of Office setting issue I got an end user who is using the Out of Office setting while he is on vacation. When someone emails him, it works and sends an Out of Office message one time per email address, as it should. He wants it set up to send an out of office message no matter how many times you email him. Any way or rule to do this? Thanks. --- Synchronet 3.13a-Win32 NewsLink 1.83 www.ohiofreenet.org - telnet://tek1systems.com Tag: archiving ... at what file size does this become necessary? Tag: 603183

    - Password protection - question re PST and Profile I have apprx 21 user prompts set up for Outlook 2007. My questions are: 1) is there a limit of profiles, that can be set up? 2) if I use a PST password - can it be the same as the profile password? 3) I am correct in saying that when I get prompted for the profile to use - it will prompt me for both the PST and Profile password?

    - Outlook 2000: Outgoing mails never appear in Sent Items folder All, Here's one I haven't seen before: I have a client with Outlook 2000 (Yes, I know...), and starting about 3 months ago, email messages they have sent out don't appear in the Sent Items folder after they go out. The messages are indeed going out correctly, but that Sent Items folder remains totally empty. The folder size is about 2 kilobytes, and it is not increasing in size as new messages go out. It really looks empty to me. Autoarchive is turned off for this folder. I've run scanpst.exe and it found no errors in the mailstore file. The View Menu is set to "Messages," but other settings don't change anything. There are no Rules set anywhere. Any thoughts as to what to try next?

    - Outlook 2003 I had a password protect on my mail. When you opened outlook, it asked for a password. Something must have happened, but now it doesn't ask for a password and goes directly into my mail. I need this password as others use this computer and e-mails are highly sensitive. I was able to go into Control Panel and try to open it there and it will ask for a password there, but on my initial start-up, it just goes directly into my inbox. Any suggestions?

    - Reminder Time vs Due By Field I'm using O2003. For a contact, there is the Due by Field. There is also a Reminder Time field. If you update the Due By field, it updates the Reminder Time field. However, if you update the Reminder Time field, it does not update the Due By field. By default for a contact, you have access to the Due By field. The Reminder field is avaialble, but you have to manually add it. In Tasks, it seems to work the same in that if you update the Due By field, it updates the Reminder Time field. However, if you update the Reminder Time field, it does not update the Due By field. However, you have access to the Reminder field and not the Due By field unless you add it. What is the difference between these fields and why does one update the other but not vice versa. Thank you. Shawn Tag: archiving ... at what file size does this become necessary? Tag: 603115

    - e-mails never arrive It's happened now a couple of times. People send me e-mails that I never get. The person phones me and says, "Did you get my e-mail?" My answer is "No." "OK, then I will resend it," they say. "When you get it give me a call." An hour later I call and say, "Uh, I didn't get it.Why don't you read me the e-mail address you have for me." After confirming that the e-mail address they are using is correct, I say, "Why don't you delete my e-mail address, reenter it, and then send me another e-mail." Thirty minutes later I call and say, "Uh, I didn't get it." This has happened to me twice in the last month, each time on a different computer. Can anyone help me resolve this anomaly?

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.

    - 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.

    - 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.

    - 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: archiving ... at what file size does this become necessary? Tag: 603011

With Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can store up to 20 GB in a PST out of the
box. In actuality, you never need to use autoarchive, if you choose not to,
although you may have to move things around between multiple PSTs so that
any one PST stays below its limit.
