    - Outlook Express 6.0 error 0x800C013E I spent 2 hours with tier two support at AT&T, much of it with them having remote access to my computer - to no avail. I currently use Yahoo Mail and want to switch to OE 6 to avoid all the ads that block screen area. Can anyone out there help me? AT&T feels there is some sort of software conflict and walked away. I turned off all firewall, virus software etc. I cannot locate anything on this specific error message on the MS site but I do see several references to it when I Google Search.

    - how can i save a draft of my message I'm interested in saving my messages for a little while before sending them out. But I would still like to be able to download my messages from my POP3 server. That is, I'd like to receive new messages without sending mine right away. I thought maybe there was a 'save to draft' button, but I don't see one in Outlook 2003. Ideas? thanks, Tag: changing computers Tag: 568112

    - Outlook 2003 hangs when open word documents Programs open at the time of problem: Outlook 2003, Word 2003, CA Security Suite (newest version), Spybot-SD Resident, Palm sync program Problem: When try to open a word attachment inside the Outlook(.rtf or .doc) without saving it to the hard drive first, the inbox window would turn white and stay that way for about 3-5 seconds, then the document would open up OK in Word. This happened randomly. I think it may have something to do with Outlook and Word, since pdf file works fine. I already tried the winword.exe unregserver and regserver method. The pc was working fine until the pc got spamblocker utility installed and I have to remove it from his pc. CA security suite and spybot sd checked the pc and it was clean. Word document open up fine when I did it from the hard drive. I also removed all the add-on in Outlook and Spybot SD Resident. Any suggestion? TIA Tag: changing computers Tag: 568107

It will open successfully in "safemode" however when trying to launch regular, it doesn't even show up in task manager ( does show as a queued 'process') however I do get an Outlook "Splash Screen" as if it is loading. * I noticed also that CPU usage jumps to a constant 56% and only drops back down when I terminate the OUTLOOK.EXE process.

The problem is that all mail is delivered to one account or the other.

    - Inability to archive Outlook 2003 data My archive data has been set to archive on an external drive. I have had no problems until recently when archiving begins and is almost 80% complete. It stops tells me that I have an "I/O" error. I thought that I would clean up the external drive by re-formatting that drive to solve the problem. Prior to re-formatting I was going to copy the data including archive.pst on another drive. I found that when I was copying archive.pst the same problem as the above occurred. I don't want to lose my already "archived" data. Question how do I save my archived data and continue to be able to archive it? What is the fix please? Tag: changing computers Tag: 568071

    - "Unread Mail" search folder possible in Outlook XP? In Outlook 2003 (which I use at work) there is a search folder called "Unread Mail" that shows all unread mail no matter what folder it is put in by rules. I use Outlook XP (at home) and have rules that sort mail as it comes in however it is hard to tell how much new mail has come in. Is there a way to create something that functions as a Search Folder (maybe using a rule another folder) in Outlook XP? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    - Calender appts with additional "cushion" of time Outlook 2003: I would like to schedule an appointment at, say 10:00, but also have the calendar include an hour of "travel time" before it and after it that everyone else would see as "not schedulable". I always have to put in little "fake" additional appointments around the real appointment to accomplish this (or a second big appointment). I would rather have the single appointment say "10:00" if that is the time of the appointment but have a cushion extension that I control that would be part of the one entry, and not have all the additional clutter. In the same light, if someone else schedules a meeting, I might like to have a "cushion" of 15 minutes around that meeting to prevent someone from scheduling another meeting right up against the first, to ensure that I can make it around the office on time, have time to check phonemail, etc. Again, I'd rather not edit every single appointment (which changes the time of the actual appointment!) or have to add "fake" appointments around everything to accomplish this. Did a search for prior posts but didn't see anything relevant. Any ideas? Tag: changing computers Tag: 568069

    - Outlook 2003 Signature Spell Check So, I have rolled out a new signature block to the users in our company using a VBscript. However, now that the signature has been rolled out, some users are reporting that Outlook now spell checks their signature block. This is a problem since they have their e-mail addresses in their signature block, along with some uncapitalized proper nouns that are there for visual appeal. In the script I specified objSelection.NoProofing = True for the signature text. When I open a new message in Outlook with Word as the editor I can see that the NoProofing is set on that text, and it spell checks the message properly, but our HTML stationery doesn't show up properly. When I open the message with the Outlook editor, the HTML shows up properly but it spell checks the signature block. Not on every user, just on about 20% of them. I know that we can just add the misspelled words in the signature block to the dictionary, but that doesn't really solve the problem. Is there a registry setting that I am missing? What is the root cause of this? Thanks in advance, Mark Tag: changing computers Tag: 568013

The macro is pretty simple.. but i dont know the syntax of how to do this.. at least making sure it happens in this manner.. Ordinarily with our sonicwall antispam system.. if a user gets a spam message in their inbox.. they right click them and do a forward (so the original email with headers is attached) and forward to the appropriate email address... I'd like to make this happen via a macro button.. and the button must support the ability to highlight multiple spam emails.. click the button and instantly those are forwarded along (and then automatically deleted or moved to the deleted items section)..

    - Outlook 2007 still downloads emails when Outlook is closed I can not find a reason why this is doing this. i close outlook using the close X button in the upper right corner or by going to File--Exit. But Outlook continues to download and notify me of emails even though the program is closed. When i open task manager Outlook is still running. Thus why its downloading emails. BUT why is outlook still running even though i have closed it. Very strange for me as i have never seen outlook do that before. I am using active sync for my phone but sync isnt active unless the phone is plugged in, which it rarely is. could this be why its doing this ? I have to use Task Manager and use 'end task' on outlook for it to stop downloading emails. can someone please help me here, i have checked thru ALL options in outlook and there is nothing about "continue to work when program is closed" or something like that.
