    - Outlook 2003 trying to automatically save unsent e-mails as text f Hi there, I've got a user on my network using Outlook 2003 and lately she's been getting the "save as" dialog box popping up when composing e-mail. It seems that Outlook 2003 wants to automatically save her unsent messages as a text file on our network. I'm aware of the feature that automatically saves unsent mail in the "Draft" folder but this seems odd. Any ideas? Tnx Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490289

    - Outlook '03 - Problems with Send/Receive function When I click on Send/Receive I get an error message, "Operation Failed" and that's all it will do. I can check emails by clicking on Tools, then Send/Receive and then the correct email account, but not by simply clicking the Send/Receive button. i am also unable to change any settings for Send/Receive under Options -> Mail Setup. i get the same error message if I try to click into the options area for this. This problem only began to occur after I had been running the trial version of Outlook '07 and then chose to revert back to the older version after the trial was ended. Please, please somebody help me with this - it is driving me crazy!! :-) Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490288

    - "Can't move the items" message from Advanced Find window A little background... I'm using Outlook 2002. I just created two new personal folders files to divy up the contents of my default Personal Folders file. I moved all the desired mail notes to the two new personal folders, compressed my now 3 personal folders, and have restarted Outlook at least a couple of times. If I open Advanced Find and look for mail notes in my Inbox, I can no longer take the search results from the Advanced Find window and move those mail notes to any of my personal folders or even another folder within my Inbox. I get the message "Can't move the items." If I locate the individual mail notes within my various Inbox folders, I can move them with no problems; it's only when I try to move them from within the Advanced Find search results window that it won't work. I did not have this issue until I created two new Personal Folder files and this is my primary workflow for finding related mail notes and moving to the appropriate personal folder locations. Help please! I'm about to give up and go back to one Personal Folders file and micromanaging it to make sure I don't go over the PST size limit (the original PST file and the three I have now are not even close to the limit). But, since I don't know what happened, I'm not even sure if that would work. Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490286

    - Auto Replies for specific email addresses in same exchange box I have users at a company that have multiple email addresses in their exchange box. IE a user john will have john@xyz.com, comments@xyz.com and myspace@xyz.com He wants to setup an auto reply so that whenever an email gets sent to comments@xyz.com it gets sent, BUT if an email gets sent to john@xyz.com there is none. I have tried to setup a client - side rule to no avail. I have enabled autoreplies in the Exchange System Manager. My rule looks like this in his outlook: If sent to "comments@xyz.com" send custom message "test". This just never works. Any ideas? Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490284

    - Right Click - Send to - Outlook I recently installed Outlook 2002. I have never used it before, I have always used express. In express you can select multiple files in any folder, then right click, send to, mail recipient, and a new OE email would open with all files selected attached. I have set Outlook as my default email software everywhere I can think of, and cannot get it to go to Outlook when I do the right click-send to, it still opens OE instead. How do I get this to work in Outlook, as it did in OE? Thanks! CD Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490268

    - Outlook 2007 - Changing Default Search Is there a way to change the Outlook 2007 default search? Currently it searches all parts of the email for a particular email folder. Can I change this to only search the From field in the email header?

    - External access to Outlook Hi, Outlook 2003. Windows XP SP2. The accounting package I use in my business has a function to send invoices by email, via Outlook. Problem is, for every single invoice, Outlook (I guess) first asks if access is allowed and then if the email should be sent. I send out about 400 invoices every month, so this is tiresome. Is this an Outlook or Windows firewall issue? Either way, can this be switched off? Regards, JV Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490241

    - Restore prev categories after re-install of O2007 - Advice not wor Sue, you recently answered a question about restoration of previous categories: Can you help further? > If you click Categorize | All Categories, do you see them? No. >If not, try this: First, make a backup of your .pst file. In the navigation pane, >right-click the top of the information store that holds these items and choose >Properties. You should see a button to Upgrade to Color Categoriies. I interpreted your words to mean that at the top of my far-left pane that allows choice of Calendar, Contacts, Memos, etc. I right-click in the bar next to the name of the open data set, e.g. "Contacts". This usually brings up a tabbed set of dialogs. None of them have the button you seem to describe. Sometimes upon right-clicking no set of dialogs shows up. When I do this I don't see a button on any of several tabbed customization screens, I use Outlook 2007 and the data used to show these other (non-default) categories in the category assignment box, but I reformatted the laptop and had to re-install Outlook and its .pst file. I must say that the lack of guidance in the "Help" file is maddening, especially since the [on-line] info comes from a changeable source, so that as people ask question they can add to the info there. If you have any thoughts, anyone, I'd appreciate the help from another user or MVP. Jonathan Rawle Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490237

    - OUTLOOK 2002...Archive Using Outlook 2002.... When the Popup Window appears recommending I Archive, I always select OK. However, today when that window appeared and I clicked OK I noticed it was Archiving DELETED ITEMS. That seemed a waste of space in my opinion, I deleted the items in my Deleted Folder because I no longer needed them so why should they be archived (I went thru folders today and deleted old item I no longer needed) ? I went to the Outlook folder and saw the Archive Folder, it showed it was accessed today. The folders I have in the OUTLOOK Sub Folder are (1) Outlook.pst (which I am sure houses all e-mails/Data) (2)Archive.pst (3)Outlook1.pst (4) Outlook1.log (5) Outlook.log (6) Archive.log. What if any of these folders can I safely delete (other than Outlook.pst....which again house all of Outlooks current messages/data). Is there a Utility that can be used to Clean up non essential Outlook saved data? Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490235

    - How do I export my color category list to the Exchange server? Hi -- when I initially synced my Outlook 2007 client with the Outlook Exchange 2007 server, the server copied the color categories I was using in the client, so that the category lists matched and if I assigned a category to a message in Outlook, the message took on the same color in Exchange (using web access). Now, however, when I add new color categories or change the color assigned to a category in the Outlook client, the server doesn't catch the change: new color categories I've created in the Outlook client aren't assigned any color in Exchange and don't appear in the Exchange list. Is there a way to make the categories match or to manually export my category list from the client to the Exchange server? Thanks! Alan Tag: outlook issues Tag: 490229

A Recovery CD returns your machine to the state in which it left the
factory. If you have no backup, then you are stuffed.
