    - Add new email accounts to my Microsoft Outlook 2007 I just downloaded the trial version of Microsoft Office 2007 Professional. I am able to open and use all the programs. I have three email addresses that I would like to add to Outlook. Two work accounts and my personal gmail account. I have checked and rechecked all of my entries and I am unable to send or receive. In fact, the button to create a new email is grayed out. I have contacted my ISP as the software has suggested. I walked through the process with the technician, but we were unable to achieve a positive result and I was referred back to Microsoft. When I called Microsoft, I was told that there were no technicians available for my question and I should try the support groups. Thanks.

    - Out fo Office Assistant for Outlook Connector for Domino Hi, Im am a user of Outlook Connector for Domino. The option of out of office assistant doesnt seem to work for me. I have the permision as that possed by the designer in lotus notes (ver 6.5.2). But my name is not mentioned as a designer. Now my real issue is that, wen i click on out of office assistant, it pops up an error that "You need to have designer or higher permissions to enable this." But i already have more permissions that the designer level but not as much as the admin. However i do not fall under either of these categories. So i think outlook should check for the permission an individual user has seperately and not blindly check which group he belongs to. Am i right here or am i doing something wrong. PS: The out of office tool works if i try it in Lotus notes. But thats not the point here right. I dont need to use lotus notes at all, thats wy i reverted to Outloook Tag: Salvaging Outlook data from hard disk for new PC installation Tag: 90509

    - Outlook 2007 with Exhange 2007 - laptop config recommendation I've been gradually configuring the office desktop systems to run in domain mode and use Outlook 2007 to access e-mail on an Exchange 2007 server. I'm about ready to start configuring laptop computers and would like a recommendation. First I want to say that the only reason we've implemented active directory and a network domain is to make accessing mail easier for the users of Outlook 2007. All work files are stored on Netware servers and the only time a workstation accesses the domain is to get e-mail. With that said, I figure I have two options for setting up the laptops so that their users can access e-mail residing on the Exchange 2007 server. 1) Install Outlook 2007. Log the user's laptop into the office domain. Have Outlook create an Exchange type e-mail account/connection. This is used when the user is in the office. When out of the office, user relies on OWA. 2) Install Outlook 2007 and configure it for Outlook Anywhere access, whether the user is in the office and connected to the network (but not as a domain user) or outside of the office Any recommendations on which would be the better way to handle laptop access to the mail server? Anything I need to be particularly worried about if I go with either of these options? I look forward to your response. Tag: Salvaging Outlook data from hard disk for new PC installation Tag: 90507

    - Outlook cannot connect to Exchange Outlook (2007) is unable to connect to Exchange Server (2007) on Vista Business. After I click on "check name", the error message pops up: "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action". The machine I'm trying to setup is part of domain. The Exchange server is pingable. I have no problem to connect the same version of Outlook running on XP.

    - Outlook asking to configure emails / previous configurations gone Each time I open my new Outlook (2007), it asks me to configure email accounts. I have already done this twice (and each time the information is lost when I re-open Outlook). I have also lost all previous email (both imported from Outlook 2003 on old computer and emails received and sent in previous session on new computer). In other words, each time I open Outlook, it is acting as if it has never been configured and all previous information is lost. Any ideas?

    - Personal Folders Backup (Add In) Recently installed Office 2003 to a new Vista Premium computer. Was able to restore my original .pst file from old computer and everything so far works fine. Also installed the Personal Folders Backup tool from Microsoft that I have been using for my backup. When I execute the backup I no longer see the progress dialog box, however, the backup.outlook.pst is created with the proper size and date. Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Although the file seems to be creating OK I'd feel more comfortable seeing the progress box I'm used to.

    - How can my BlackBerry delete messages from both it and Outlook? I use Outlook 2003 and have a BlackBerry 8800 that I love except for one problem. When I read and delete email messages on the BB, it gives a choice of deleting from the handheld only or from both the handheld and the server. I click to delete most messages from both. RoadRunner tells me that this does, indeed, delete the message from the server. BUT, when I get back to my PC and open Outlook, the deleted messages are still there. This is a major pain after a long trip when 230 emails that I don't want to see are still waiting on my PC. Can anyone help me avoid this problem?

    - Outlook / Exchange without roaming profiles? Hello, I want to setup outlook so that when a user logs in outlook automatically connects to the correct mailbox on the exchange server for that user, can this be done with the login script somehow? Right now I am using roaming profiles, so when a user moves from PC to PC their outlook is setup. I would like to get away from roaming profiles. Is there any other way to do this so that when outlook is launched, it just knows which user is logged in and uses that user as the outlook settings? thanks.

    - Get 'Outlook has encountered a problem' error msg whenever I open I've recently converted from Outlook 2007 back to Outlook 2003 by uninstalling 2007 and then installing 2003. Now, whenever I open 2003 I get the 'Outlook has encountered a problem' error message whenever I open the pgm. It looks like Outlook is trying to configure something before I get the error message b/c I see the 'Configuring Outlook' box with the lines 'Creating Welcome Message', 'Migrating Preferences', and 'Importing User Data' just before I get the 'encountered a problem' message. Then, if I don't send the error report to MS, the program seems to go in a loop, continually bring up the 'encountered a problem' message until I say to send the error report. After that, I get the 'Outlook didn't close normally the last time it closed, do you want to start it in safe mode?' which I say yes to. Interestingly, after starting Outlook up, I always have 2 Outlook icons in my Quickstart menu. I've deleted one of them, but it always reappears after I've started Outlook. Can anyone help?

    - Did uninstalling Office 2007 delete Outlook email folders? I uninstalled Office 2007 from my wife's old PC and then installed Office 2003 (or XP?) WITHOUT installing Outlook. Then I found out that my wife had been using the Outlook 2007 to download POP (not Exchange) mail from yahoo and had an elaborate folder system in her inbox. She didn't know anything about a .pst file so I don't know if her mail was saved in a .pst file or not. She is a new PC now with Office 2007 installed. Can we still get her mail off of the old PC? Note: I posted this same question within a different (answered) thread, but I think it belongs as a separate post. Sorry if I created confusion.

My PC's motherboard went belly up the other day. It was a Windows XP Home PC
running Office 2002. Now I have a new PC, same O/S, and I would like to, if
possible, recreate my email files. I can access my old disk but I can't boot
off of it. I have installed Outlook 2002 on my new PC successfully.

The question is, what files can I move from my old hard disk to my new PC in
order to recreate, as closely as possible, my old email files, folders and
settings?

Thanks in advance,
