    - How do I see Folder List and Shortcuts at simultaneously I have lots of folders and some are expandable. In Outlook before 2003, I could display the Folder List & Shortcuts at the same time. If there was an expandable folder off screen on the Folder List and it was in Shortcuts, clicking on the folder in Shortcuts would place the folder at the bottom of the screen highlighted. Then it was easy to click on the folder and open it up. With Outlook 03 and 07 Shortcuts are useless on expandable folders. In Folder List, if a folder is off screen, you have to scroll down. My scrool wheel is wearing out. Anybody know of a work around, or do I need to find a different work process? Tag: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading Tag: 576801

    - autocompletion cache vanishes Outlook 2003 -- Exchange server It's happened to me and a few of my users. One day, for no apparent reason, the autocompletion cache just seems to vanish. Users start typing an email address expecting to see a list of addresses previously used, and nothing happens. Unfortunately, too many people rely on this list and don't put addresses in their Contacts. Can anyone explain why they may vanish and how to stop it from happening? thx Tag: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading Tag: 576793

    - outlook express 6.0 images blocked I use Outlook Express for my mailtool and for the last 8+ months I've been having problems. I have Netscape as my internet provider and my mail initially goes to the Netscape mailtool. From there it gets downloaded to Outlook Express. The mail looks okay in Netscape, but after it gets to Outlook Express most of the pictures have been replaced by white boxes with red X's (My mail is set up to download images. Attachments come through okay). I have worked with Netscape to try and determine if there were any problems with their mailtool and it was determined that everything was okay. I am running Windows XP Professional with SP2 and Windows 2000. Tag: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading Tag: 576785

    - Blocked mail to large group I sent an email to a group of about 300 people in the USA (I'm currently in Italy) and then sent a similar email to a group of the same size in Italy. The one to Italy went through but no one (not even myself) received the first one. I've tried several other formats and several times but I cannot get that email to go out and get no errors back when I send it. If I send it just to 1 or 2 people it works fine. Doesn't matter if I use TO, CC or BCC either. Very odd. [Using Outlook 2007] Tag: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading Tag: 576777

    - Problems sending large files One of my users is using AOL as his internet provider. He says that he can send multiple file attachments with AOL, but not with his Outlook. The SMTP server settings are the same, but for some reason, he cannot send multiple attachments with Outlook. Unfortunately the user is significantly remote from me (as in multiple states away -- I'm in Georgia and he's in Mass.) so I can't go and see what his computer is saying. I don't really have much more info, although I can get more information, albeit second-hand. Tag: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading Tag: 576776

    - 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: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading 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: How do I set a rule to move mail from inbox to a folder after reading 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.

    - 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?

Hi. Currently I have a bunch of folders sorted by sender, and
incoming emails go directly into thier respective folders if I have a
rule set for that sender. I now need messages to go to the inbox
until I read them and then automatically be moved to their respective
folder. The reason for this is that I have a new phone that only
notifies me when new messages are in my inbox on the server, and I
need to know when I get emails from certain people. Currently they
just go straight to a folder and I get no notification.

Any help is appreciated.

probably not the most ideal, but you could suspend your rules and then just
choose to run them in the inbox after you've had a chance. You can do that
by opening up the rules and clicking on a specific rule and choosing to run
it in a folder.

Rules work only on new, incoming messages. Automatic rules cannot do what
you describe.
