    - Save all "inserted" pictures in Outlook 2007 When someone sends me an e-mail with pictures that have been "attached", I can click on "file" then "save attachments" to save all the pictures to my hard drive at once. However, how do I save all the pictures that have been "Inserted" into the e-mail. They do not always show up in the "save attchments" list. Some times I get e-mail where the pictures are viewable in the e-mail AND they show up in the "save attachments" list. What gives? :) Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop.

    - Outlook 2007 reading pane blank & trust center hangs I recently added another user to my computer and imported a PST file. The reading pane is blank unless I right click and then the message appears. I read that it might be a problem in the trust center, but when I click trust center outlook hangs...

    - Delete extra inbox I have Microsoft Outlook 2003 SP3. I had two web-based email accounts that I used Outlook to pull the email from. I have now closed one of the accounts. I would like to get rid of one of the inboxes, but the main one appears to have been connected to the account I closed. The option to close it is greyed out, the account I left open does give me the option to close it. I have deleted the profile to the closed account. When I look at the path for the open mail account, Outlook indicates that it cannot find the path of the file, but it is pulling my mail fine. I am not sure how to get rid of the extra inbox (and all the other folders, calender, journal, notes, etc.). Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop. Tag: 587723

    - Searching Outlook 2003 in Vista I had the impression that Vista's search capabilities were much better than XP, including being able to search inside Outlook messages. So I was hoping to be able to search from the directory where I keep several PST files to find which one has the messages I'm looking for. But Vista search doesn't seem to work as I'd hoped. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to locate messages if the PST files aren't open in Outlook? Thanks Mike Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop. Tag: 587709

    - Problems with Outlook 2003 Archive I'm having trouble with messages being archived to locations that I didn't expect, and would like some clarification on how archiving works within Outlook 2003. I was expecting that each PST file would have different default archive settings but it appears this isn't the case. Instead, it seems that the default settings apply to every folder unless explicitly overwritten. This is a problem for me because I typically keep several PST files open. What I'm finding is that all of the archives are being directed into a single PST file - undoing what I've been trying to achieve with the separate PST files. Since each folder would need to set up explicitly, it appears that the only logical workaround is to turn off auto archiving - at least until I no longer need multiple PST files loaded. Can someone confirm that my understanding is correct and also if there is any other recommended way to deal with archiving? Thanks Mike Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop.

    - Font size on incoming mail We have started using Outlook 2007 on a couple of my office PC's. My question concerns the font size of some of the incoming messages. Often times they will be in extremely small font. It is very difficult to read for my people and I can't figure out if there is a way around it. It appears to be random in nature. I am sure that there is a reason I am just not aware of it. Any help would be greatly welcomed! Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop. Tag: 587688

How can I get the pop box ("Insert file")to return to the folder ("Wire Update") when I click Attach in the next email? It keeps returning to the "My Documents" folder.

    - Customization of inbox rules I use inbox rules pretty fequently, and have quite a few client only rules running on my inbox to manage the various communication streams during my day. Recently, I bought Office for my Mac at home and found that I could also channel flow to various folders as I do on my PC at work. However, one thing that I have not found yet is if it is possible to use wild card in the mail rules to manage emails from a specific domain. Is that possible? ie. Instead of sending an email address from Joe.blow@microsoft.com send all of the emails with the domain of microsoft.com to a folder. Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop.

    - Upgrade to 2007? I'm using Outlook (and Office) 2003, with Win XPSP3. What advantages (and disadvantages, if any, besides the expense) would I find in upgrading to Outlook 2007? (Of course the upgrade would be to Office 2007, but for this discussion we can just discuss the changes to Outlook, not other Office programs.) Is 2007 less buggy, more stable? (Not always the case with new versions. Sometimes adding new features creates more bugs.) (For instance, would the problem I recently described of losing text on sending an e-mail, occur just as likely in OL 2007?) Thank you. Tag: outbox keeps trying to send a message and won't stop.

    - Unique Identifier Hi folks, I'm not sure if this is the right category; I am linking a specific folder from Outllook into Microsoft Access. The db I'm using it to keep track of staff inquiries and I have linked a folder from Outllook to the db so that I can keep notes on the inquires as they come in by e-mail. What I need from Outlook is the ability to show the unique identifier in the linked table. I know how to put it on the form, however I can't seem to publish that form in the correct folder. Secondly I'm not sure that would work. If I alter a form to reflect the unique identifier, will it show on the linked table in Access. If I can do that I can do the rest in Access. Alternaitivly, if anyone has a suggestion on how to make an e-mail unique, that would be appreciated too! Thanks, Brent -- ...but its summer holidays, I shouldn''t be learning!
