    - Can I still check yahoo or gmail email messages through Outlook? As of this week I no longer seem to be able to check my email messages (via Pop) or accounts for Gmail, Yahoo etc. through Outlook. The pop set up etc. have not changed, and I used to be able to gather messages from all accounts in my outlook. If anyone can still do this, can you please tell me how?

    - Outlook 2003 - Notes are hidden from mail folder views I've recently upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003. One thing I noticed is when I navigate my inbox tree via the All Mail Folders "view", only mail folders are visible. I see there is a Notes view that just shows me notes, but this is not conducive to my orgizational style using notes previous to this version of Outlook. I assume I am missing something obvious. How do I make the Notes folders display in my inbox tree? Thanks! Tag: Outlook Won't Open, Reinstalling, and I can't find old .pst files Tag: 576632

    - Outlook Express I recently got a new laptop and I use outlook express.

At this time , I can block email addresses from the Message menu but the blocked email addresses get deleted when I turn the computer off.

    - Paragraph spacing We just started using Outlook 2007. One of our employees is now having problems with her paragraph spacing. When she replies to e-mails, the spacing is single and the Before/After paragraph spacing is set at 0 pt, but when she creates new e-mails, the Before/After paragraph spacing changes to Auto, which is making her e-mails double spaced, and she has to change the setting every time she creates a new e-mail. Is there a setting somewhere in Outlook that will fix this? If someone could let me know, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

    - Outlook 2007 tells you to restart on cluster failover??? Hello. We are currently moving to a clustered environment with Exchange 2003. Users are also on Outlook 2003 and we are beginning to transition to Outlook 2007. We've discovered that when you manually fail exchange from one cluster node to another, Outlook 2007 tells the user "microsoft exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". But Outlook 2003 seems to work correctly, it will stop responding for a minute until the exchange cluster resource is moved and then the user is able to continue work uninterrupted. The clients do not run in cached mode. But we have tried testing Outlook 2007 cached mode, and the user is still told to restart Outlook when the exchange cluster is told to failover. Is this by design behavior? It doesn't make sense because Outlook 2003's behavior is preferable. Tag: Outlook Won't Open, Reinstalling, and I can't find old .pst files Tag: 576549

I have been able to put in a date and time but the next time a message comes with it is automatically sending the message. Here is the scenario. We have a program running at 3:15 AM that is going to send and email but I don't want it to get sent to a cell phone until after 7:00 AM. This is going to happen daily. If I specify a date and time in the rule because it is after the date that I put in the rule it is automatically sending the email.

    - Deleted mail account I am using a PC running XP Pro and Outlook 2003 SP1. The machine has been used in an office until 2 years ago, so it still has Outlook with Exchange at the time included in a Msft Small Business Server 2003 (?) package. I am using this computer stand alone, and have been adding new e-mail accounts from several different ISPÂ´s whose messages (In and Out) were all visible in the same Exchange main mail folder in Outlook. A few days ago, someone deleted the Exchange account, saying it wouldnÂ´t be necessary anymore since all messages were getting in through other e-mail accounts. Doing so, all messages were gone as well as Contacts and Calendar. Now I can only see old messages archive folders (*.pst). I would like to go back to the old config or at least to be able to get the information lost messages. Would it be possible? How? Thank you.

Over the past few weeks, Outlook became slower and slower. Finally it took
several minutes to open. When it did open, I tried to export (so I could
back up), but a "Internal translation system error" came up.

When I tried to open an email in my inbox, I got a Microsoft Outlook
encountered a problem and needs to close.

I tried using the disk to repair, but nothing improved. I now want to
re-install Outlook, but want to find and dave the outlook.pst file and
archive.pst file. I can't find them on my computer running windows XP.

I would appreciate a hand.
