    - configuring outlook accounts I input an exchange server that does not work during configuration. Now I am stuck. Every time Outlook comes up it goes directly to configuring outlook accounts. There I'm asked for an exchange server. But I have none to enter that works. I want to get up to where I can use the menus to input a pop server but I can't find a way there. Anyone know how to get past this dialog box? -- JP Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 89040

    - BCM SQL Install Problem Resolved I could not get BCM to install. I would get a vague error message near the end of the BCM install that stated that BCM could not be installed (REALLY??) and referred me to a logfile that was useless - it actually stated at the end that BCM had been installed successfully!! As it turns out, the problem was that a previously installed SQL program (ACT! V7.0) did not completely unistall (even though it was no longer in the Control Panel Add/Remove Software list). Left over were Windows Installer fragments, the ACT7 service, registry snap in SQL code, and the SQL Program Files folders (which could not be deleted until the service was deleted). Doing all of the above is not for the weak of heart (had to use several removal tools & methods), but is did solve the problem and BCM installed just fine. -- Gary Phillips MSRP, AAC, PCLCIC, T3CC Pittsburgh, PA Phone: 412-766-2280 E-mail: garyp@execautomation.com URL: www.execautomation.com Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 89022

    - Installation MESS Had Office 2002, Purchased 2007. Installation of 2007 did not offer warning that Outlook needed to be removed. So I discovered that I did not have Outlook 2007 installed and finally figured out I had to remove 2002. So I removed 2002 only to discover that I STILL cannot install Outlook 2007. I'm very dependent on Outlook, so I attempted to reinstall 2002. It appears to have reinstalled, but won't run due to "missing patch file." An attempt to remove 2002 now won't work either because of the missing patch file. So I can't remove 2002 or the non-working version of Outlook (2002) and I can't seem to install the new version of Outlook (2007). Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 89021

    - Unable to reach POP3 Servers from Outlook 2003 I've reloaded all software trying to resolve this. Without any obvious cause Outlook 2003 quit accessing defined e-mail accounts inbound and outbound for POP3 (only use POP3). The WAN connection shows TCP/IP but will not allow uninstall and install may not be working due to an unsigned driver. I've walked through all Outlook settings with the ISP. The e-mail service works fine through web mail. I did find the Microsoft IPV6 driver loaded. Outlook's Send/Receive Progress initially shows 0x8004210A and 0x8004210B errors. The BellSouth/AT&T tool confirms the e-mail addresses Outlook is using are sending and receiving but Outlook continues to have problems. I have no problems using IE, or any other software which access the Internet. All suggestions are warmly appreciated. Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 89015

    - Uninstall Outlook XP to upgrade to 2007 Followed instructions from MS to go to Start >Control Panel > Add/Remove Prog > click the Office Suite installed > Change > Add/Remove Features > Next ..... but get stuck at CLICK TO CLEAR THE OUTLOOK CHECK BOX. There IS no checkbox next to Outlook, only a plus sign, which, when clicked, drops down to reveal the elements included in Outlook (i.e. stationary, etc.). Three questions: (1) Where do I find the checkbox? (I'm running Office XP on Windows XP) (2) A. If I ENTIRELY uninstall Office XP from my system and ENTIRELY re-install Office 2007, will I lose my calendar and contact info from XP? B. If I uninstall/re-install where do I go to collect/insert my prior Outlook info (calendar/contacts, etc) into Outlook 2007? Loving EVERYTHING about every other aspect of 2007 I've been using on trial...very intuitive and easily adapted to. The Outlook thing is the only hangup I've experienced.

    - You dont have the appropriate permissions to perform this operati I have a laptop that cratered one me.. Windows XP.....I had to do a system restore from the beginning. Lost a lot but no biggie. Had Office 97 full version on it and then had the 2003 Office Upgrade. Had no problems before it crashed. Got everything fixed on the laptop. Got all the windows updated and went to upload the Office again and had problems right off the bat with 97. Couldnt find my default folders. Figured I had a Registry problem. Deleted 97 and then Went into Registry and renamed all the folders in Office to OLD. This allowed me to Load 97 again and then the 2003 upgrade. When I started 2003 I got an error "An error occured in the folder shortcuts file .fav Outlook will recreate the defualt folder shortcuts. " And I could do nothing. Kept getting the error. At this point I went to Control panel and deleted the program and then went to regedit again renamed everything and then loaded it all back up again. During the 2003 profiles being set up. Put in Pop3, SMTP strings passwords and emails address. In Tools, emails accounts. I did the test. Everything checks out. It sends and receives. I went to my hotmail to verify it is being sent and it work. I go to start a new email.... As soon as I hit the Send/recieve button in the tool bar I get the error "You dont have permission to perform this operation. " However it DOES send the email... I just can not receive emails. I saw in other posts to change the outlook .SRS files. I did a search on my c drive of all files. hidden as well. I dont see any. I went to Documents and settings/Administrator/Application data/Microsfot/office/outlook and tried to see if the files were in the outlook folder. I can not open the folder and when I hover it says the folder is empty.l. I get the error that "Outlook is not accessible. Access denied." I did go to the Documents and setting and make sure the READ ONLY was NOT checked. Yet still having the problem. Can not receive mail and the errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Need two Mail sections in Outlook & Blackberry I get a thousand emails a day. A few are for me directly, the rest are copies of everybody else's emails (due to security at the company) as well as the random non-existant email that goes to our email server. We do not have our own server to store this on, it's all on my computer. All of this email gets sent to my blackberry as well. I want to set up one email section for my email, another for everybody else's. I want to do this like you can set up two calendars, just click which one you want to see, or both.

    - PRF file quit working We had built a custom PRF file for Office 2003 SP3 that ran the first time a user opened OutLook to automatically create his OutLook Profile (we use Exchange). This worked fine, and, we had it on a clone that we use Ghost to create multiple copies from, and, again, all this worked fine. We had not installed OneNote and FrontPage, so, ran those installs to add them into the rest of the suite on our Master Clone, and...now the PRF doesn't run when OutLook is first run. The file is still there, and, if double-clicked, will run and create the profile, so...looks like we broke some kind of link (Registry, INI/INF file?)...anyway...not sure what's broke.

    - Outlook 2003 - MAPI32.DLL corruption? Hi OS: Windows XP Pro. I have upgraded my computer, and am re-installing all my software to the new pc. I used the Files & Settings Transfer Wizard. I have installed Ooutlook 2003, Excel 2003 and Word 2000 from disc, and registered/activated/validated them all with Microsoft. When trying to open Outlook 2003, I receive the message "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. MAPI32.dll is corrupt or the wrong version.........." etc. Having searched this error, I found I must run the FIXMAPI.exe utility. However, when I double click on it nothing happens. I have even tried running it from Start>Run>C\Windows....etc. I have looked for the utility on Windows/Microsoft site, but am unable to find it - presumably as it is an integral part of Windows. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem? I use Outlook a lot, so this issue is rather urgent. Many thanks Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 88960

    - Integrate multiple IMAP4 accounts in Outlook 2003 Hi, I use Outlook 2003 to access my company email. I would like to also access multiple email accouts (Hotmail, Yahoo, Netscape) with IMAP4. I tried this and when I'm in Outlook, I click on the inbox folder for one of the IMAP accounts, such as Hotmail, and I open a new email to send, it gets sent using the outgoing email address of my Exchange account and not the Hotmail account. The same thing happens if I click on the Yahoo or Netscape folders/accounts I created in Outlook. All email gets sent using my company Exchange email address as opposed to the individual accounts/addresses I setup. When I set up the individual IMAP4 accounts in Outlook, I specified the email address to use, the IMAP server to connect to as well as the SMTP server to connect to. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone know how to set this up? Thanks. Riley Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 88891

    - new message sound and indicator in task bar In older versions of Outlook, a sound could be played and the "new message" indicator would appear in the Windows task bar when a new message arrived, regardless of which folder the message landed in. In Outlook 2007, the indicator only appears if new messages land in the Inbox. Likewise, the sound can only be played if new messages land in the Inbox. This is very frustrating for those of us who like to organize email form multiple accounts in various folders, using automatic rules. I have looked through every configuration menu that I can find, and I do not see an option to correct this. The only working solution that I can come up with, at the moment, is to let ALL messages from ALL accounts land in the Inbox so the sound will play and the indicator will appear. Then, I can run my established rules manually so all of my messages end up in the correct folders. Of course, this is not an ideal solution. Does anyone have any ideas?

    - Outlook Connector is forwarding my replies to Inbox Dear Outlook Expert. I am suing Outlook Connector for Hotmail with Outlook 2003. I really like incorporating my hotmail in the outlook however, I am experiencing one nagging problem which I cannot resolve. When I reply to an email in my hotmail inbox (within Outlook 2003) instead of it being sent to the SentI tems folder it goes into my Inbox. When I click on the individual email's Options I see that it states Inbox but I cannot change it to the Hotmails Sent Items only to Exchange Server's sent Items. I want the default behavior to be that it's sent to the Sent Items in my hotmail. It actually worked before I re-formatted my computer so not sure what's going on now. It works for new emails but not for replies. I have been trying to solve this for quite some time. Thank you so much for your help. Tag: Change outlook data file path Tag: 88876

We have changed the "My Documents" path with Folder Redirection. Several
users have their archive file (*.pst) stored in My Documents. And because the
path to the .pst file is an UNC path, the archive folder cannot be opened
automatically.
Within outlook, users have to close the "old" archive folder and then again
open the archive folder from the new location.

Is there an outlook config file where I can alter the path to the archive
file and auto-archive path, so I can change it remotely?

Regards,
Alex

They're stored in registry values under this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

The values are Unicode. Be careful...
