    - Suddenly not receiving all messages in Outlook 2007 In the last week or so, I have not received all the messages in Outlook that I have received in Webmail for the same account. I contacted the ISP, which provides the mail server, and during the call it dawned on me to set up Outlook Express for the same account (set to leave a copy on the server). Sure enough, I got ALL the mail from the server in Outlook Express, but not in Outlook, which narrows down the problem to Outlook. I checked my spam folders and the deleted folder, but the messages never made it to either place. I do have rules set up to move mail from many addresses to specified folders, including at least some of the addresses of the missing mail, but the rules aren't working. I really don't understand why so many of the rules I've set up in Outllook 2003 and 2007 never work and some of the others work intermittently. But I don't think my problems with rules are the culprit here, or at least the messages would have made it to the inbox. Does anybody have any idea what's going on?

    - Opening a html link on Outlook is inconsistent In the same email a link will open up the "Locate Link Browser", while another link located lower in the email will open up the proper webpage. If I cut and paste the defective link into IE then the link works. Why is this so haphazard? Tag: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587862

    - 2 questions about Save My Settings Wizard First, I have heard that there is an .ini file you can use to customize what is backed up by the Save My Settings Wizard. If this is true, can I modify this .ini file to ONLY backup my Outlook email account settings? Second, if I can do # 1, is it possible to save this .ini file as a custom file and then run the settings wizard using my custom .ini file? If so, how? Thanks, Richard Tag: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587857

    - Outlook 2007 only "partially" closing at times Running Outlook 2007 SP1 in a hosted Exchange environment (host is still on 2003 server), on XP Pro SP2. Relatively new system. Lately, sometimes when I close Outlook, the Reminders window fails to close with it and I have to close it manually, and then when I later relaunch Outlook it fails to prompt me for the username and password and just opens my Profile and is online. Sometimes, it doesn't do this: it closes the Reminders window fine, and when later launching Outlook again it prompts me for the username and password -- like it's supposed to do and like it always used to do. If I go into Task Manager - Processes and choose OUTLOOK.EXE - End Process Tree, it will go back to proper behavior, but it won't last very long. I've tried wiping the local Profile and restoring it from scratch, but it didn't help. Tag: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587855

    - 2003 server with 2007 client -- Categories won't work right? We use a hosted Exchange Server provider who still has us on 2003 server while we're runnning Outlook 2007 SP1 at the local clients. All is fine in general, of course, but we've been told by the hosting service that one of the main features of 2007 that won't work properly until they go to the 2007 server is Categories. This has just become a very important topic to us since we've learned that the best way to manage our Contacts is with Categories (and not Distribution Lists). How can I obtain a thorough and accurate picture of exactly what will be lacking if we begin to use Categories at this time: what will be lacking now, and what if anything will be lost or changed once the host does go to 2007 server? Or should we just resign ourselves to not implementing the use of Categories at all until the host has upgraded to 2007 server? Tag: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587854

    - 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? Thanks Bob Tag: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587803

    - 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: toolbars cannot be selected 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: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587791

    - 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: toolbars cannot be selected 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.

    - 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: toolbars cannot be selected Tag: 587708

Hi,

I am using my Mum's computer (she has VISTA & I'm struggling) and her
OUtlook 2007 has 'turned off' her toolbar that contains 'New', 'reply' 'reply
all', etc... it is grey and cannot be selected. This means that she can't
compose mail, or reply to any, but she is receiving new mail during this
problem. I am aware that if she was using XP I would change a file to have a
different ending (like .dat) but i think that it might be dfferent when using
Vista and 2007 outlook.

Can anyone help!

No, that is still the same. However, in this case it is not going to help
you because you either haven't configured an email account yet or haven't
activated the software. You probably cannot create any new Word, Excel,
PowerPoint documents either.
