    - rules and alerts "One or more rules could not be uploaded to Exchange server and have been deactivatd. This could be because some of the parameters are not supported or there is inssufficient space to store all of your rules." Above is the error message I get when I tried to save all the rules. I have done everything according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886616. I have tried deleting all the rules in client side and server side. It seemed ok at first, but after I close and reopen the outlook 2003 again, all the rules would be there, no rules seemed to be deleted. What should I do in order all the rules can be deleted? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: mark as read Tag: 576749

    - Calendar not migrating properly from different computer I am moving my outlook data from a laptop on a corporate environment using an Exchange server. I always had my data available off-line in an .ost file, which was synched up regularly. I managed to find an ost2pst.exe to run because Outlook 2007 does not seem to have a way to upload an .ost file directly It worked pretty well for the most part. With one major exception: NONE OF MY CALENDAR INFORMATION SHOWED UP! Any ideas what I can do? I assume that the calendar information is in the .ost file. I used the ost2pst converter from here: http://www.xcopy32.com/details.php?file=24 Perhaps it has some bugs? Is tehre a way to get the .ost file to load directly into 2007 Outlook? Thanks Michael Tag: mark as read Tag: 576721

    - Outlook remains disconnected..."magically" reconnects later Greetings, I am probably hoping against all hopes that someone out here has experienced an issue that I'm struggling with at my job. We are running Exchange 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2003 SP2 clients (plus latest security patches). The problem is with a number of users who roam around one of our offices for meetings using wireless connections. At some point, the users lose connectivity with Exchange. When returning to their desk, they remain disconnected from Exchange while Internet and local network access functions normally. No matter what they do they cannot re-establish a connection with Exchange...even after rebooting the device. This happens if they continue to use a wireless connection or switch to a wired connection...doesn't matter. When attempting to use the Send/Receive button, Outlook generates an error code, 0x8004011D. After an hour or so of just waiting around, the connection to Exchange is "magically" restored. We have checked for the possibility that Exchange is hitting the 32 MAPI connection limit and won't let any more but while analyzing a user in the disconnected state, it did not appear that this was the case. Can anyone shed some light on what is going on and what we might be able to do to at least force Outlook to reconnect with Exchange so that the users don't have to wait? Thanks for any assistance you can provide. Doug Tag: mark as read Tag: 576718

    - Using the same .pst on two computers I use Outlook 2002 at home and at work. When I had Outlook 2000, I was able to copy my .pst file to my thumbdrive and take it to my work computer thus keeping my file up to date. The process seems to work with 2002, however, when I try to access my email, Outlook 2002 keps asking me for the password to my accounts. I have to go into my account setup and re-enter the paswords every time. By the way, when I had Outlook 2000, I had Windows XP Pro on both machines. I now have Windows Vista on both new machines. Before I blame Outlook 2002, I am hoping someone lets me know if there is a compatibility issue that could be causing this between Outlook 2002 and Windows Vista. -- Ray Tag: mark as read Tag: 576711

    - Can't send/receive; extend.dat; other issues Outlook 2003 I don't know if these issues are related or not, but I am having trouble sending or receiving. The issues are sporadic. Sometimes nothing will send or receive, and exiting and restarting the program fixes the problem. I also sometimes get the error that Outlook was not closed properly and it runs the scan of the folders, even though I did close Outlook properly. Finally, I sometimes get the message that the extend.dat file didn't initialize. Outlook seems to work ok nonetheless, but I usually restart just in case, and the error message does not come up the second time. Like I said, I don't know if these issues are related, and they don't necessarily happen at the same time. I have run detect and repair several times, but this does not correct the errors.

    - Outlook not properly accepting Hotmail e-mails Outlook 2002 (10.6838.6839) SP3 in Office XP on XP Pro SP2 Although it is working well in all other areas, I am having trouble trying to reply to received e-mails sent from Hotmail accounts. On clicking reply, the program takes a long time to react and then tells me that it cannot use Word as the editor because it is either busy or cannot be found .. and will revert to using its own Outlook editor. Often I will then get various messages about changes to the normal.dot template and Outlook has to be closed and restarted .. sometimes a reboot is necessary .. before it will function normally, replying using Word to every other e-mail apart from the Hotmail account ones. Can anyone suggest the reason for this please ? Tag: mark as read Tag: 576696

    - Edit outgoing attachment without saving it Apparently in Outlook 2000 users could attach a TIF file, open it, annotate it, save the changes to the document right in the e-mail and send it along. When they try that in Outlook 2003/2007 they're prompted to save the file to a location on the hard disk which forces them to re-attach the edited document and then send it along. These files are temporary in nature and really only need to exist in e-mail so saving them to the local machine is a needless step. Is there any way to get back to the 2000 behavior?

    - attachment reminder for MS Outlook If the body of an email contains the word 'attachment' or any of it's common varieties and there is no attachment when the send button is clicked then a reminder asking if you need to include an attachment before sending the message would be incredibly helpful and would certainly prevent many of us from the embarassment of sending emails that referrence nonexistent attachments.

    - Adding Field with unlimited space in Outlook` Hi, I have created a merge letter in Word and am extracting information from my Outlook Contacts for the letter. My question is this: Is there a way I can create a "new" field with "UNLIMITED" space where I can enter quite a bit of information i.e., in my case - all specific jobs a contact has worked on? I would thenpull information from that "unlimited field" to merge into my letter in Word. I tried using "user field" but only have the capability of using 107 characters and I need much more room. We keep a running list of all jobs a particular contact has been involved in over the years. I would appreciate any help. -- Kathy B. Tag: mark as read Tag: 576674

Hello,

When I open an e-mail for reading, Outlook 2003 marks it as read by default.
Is there any way to control it ? I would like to leave the mail as unread
even if I open it. I want to mark it as read only after I read and process
it.

Regards,
GK

I don't think there's a way to stop Outlook from marking a message read if
you open it. You can, however, prevent marking it as read if you stick to
the Reading Pane.
