    - My Deleted Items folder has disappeared! As the subject says, my 'Deleted Items' folder has disappeared from my Mail folders display. Running O2007 in XPSP2. If I check the properties (folder size) of the personal folders, I can see that the folder exists and has data (105Mb!) in it. Under the folder list view it shows: Contacts, Sent Items, Outbox, Junk, Drafts, Inbox, Tasks, Calendar. I haven't knowingly deleted it - how do I get it back (so I can tidy it up!)

    - AutoCorrect Disappearing Using Windowx XP Pro with latest updates and Office 2007. I have entered AutoCorrect items into Outlook for replies to an email, and they keep disappearing when I start outlook again or reboot. This is very frustrating. Any ideas? Is it possible to enter AutoCorrect from the main menu instead of only when replying to a message? Reply is the only time you get the Office Button that has the proofing/autocorrect option. When you double click on an email to view it all, if you click X to delete, the next email is displayed in full screen. I would rather go back to the list of emails, since I can delete many by reading only the first few words. Any ideas how to set this up?

    - Emails not downloading This maky not be and Outlook problem, but I have tried everything else and am now clutching at straws. Have been using Outlook 2003 SP3 for a few years, have recently had the problem where my emails are not downloading from the Webmail server as it always had. My first point of call was my email provider, who have tested everything and all is fine. Contacted the ISP and they have washed there hand of it as it is an incoming email problem only and eveything internet related in working as normal. I do not get an error message - the send and receive attempts as normal but it downloads so slow that unless the emails are small (less than 20kb) they never get to me. So far I have deleted the email account and re-set it up. Run a detect and repair. I have tried downloading on another computer at a different location and had no problems. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance Tag: why are there multiple copies of outlook running Tag: 587798

    - Text view jumps to top when composing email Outlook 2007 When I am composing an email the view often jumps to the top of the email text even though the cursor remains at the bottom. This means that if the text is very long I have to scroll down the page to continue to see what I am typing. I do not see that it is related to any particular keyboard entry. It does this at seemingly random, annoying times. I'm using Office 2007 on XP Pro. I have had this problem since installing Office 2007 last year. Because most of the email I write is brief, I have put up with it up to this point. Anyone? Tag: why are there multiple copies of outlook running Tag: 587791

    - Category colours in outlook 2007 I have seen a lot of related threads in these discussion groups, but I cannot get my problem solved... this problem only arrises on one pc with XP Pro and Office Outlook2007 in a domain with 15 similar machines. They all are connected to Exchange. When selecting a category for an appointment in a public calender, this category is only visible on this pc. Other users just see an entry with the default color, with no category selected. However, it works well the other way around! When any of the other users enter an appointment and selects a category, it's visible immediatly, even on our problem-pc. I've tried to reinstall Office, with no luck however... Any suggestions?

    - 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: why are there multiple copies of outlook running Tag: 587723

    - 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?

This is often caused by faulty addins. Virus scanners are a known source of
doing a great job (sarcasm) in creating a new outlook.exe process for each
email that they scan. Start with disabling their integration with Outlook.
