    - Outlook GPO and PST files How do you get the Outlook GPO to not control the Archive.PST file? I have Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 on workstations with either XP Pro or Vista Business. Our server is a Win2K3 Enterprise with Exchange 2K3 Enterprise. Archive settings work great. However, when I set retention settings, it caused the files in the archive.pst file to be moved to the Deleted Items folder. I did check the "open archive folder" check box as part of the retention settings in the GPO. This seems to be a very good tool if only it would not control what happens to the Archive.PST files. -- Chuck_N Tag: config Tag: 88167

    - Migrated Outlook 2003 to 2007 on new PC and now Address Book hosed I migrated my XP professional settings to Vista professional (I know I know!) and when I create an Outlook (Enterprised ed.) email, the To list is empty. Drop down Address Book list is empty. When I click Advanced Find I get modal dialog "The search cannot be completed. Tou must have an address list to search in. If you don't have an address list contact your Microsoft Exchange admin." I don't have Microsoft Exchange. Under Tools/Account Settings/Address Book I have Outlook Address Book MAPI but Remove is disabled. Under Contacts Folder under Properties, Outlook Address Book tab, the "Show this folder email address book" check box is disabled. I have uninstalled the product and reinstalled it - no luck. The registry has evil stuff. I tried renaming my C:\Users\...\outlook directory, uninstalled/reinstalled and then Outlook wouldn't run - again the evil registry entries "remembering" the wrong stuff. So now I'm at my wit's end. The only option I see is to reload windows from scratch to get a clean registry - unless someone can help me figure out how to activate the "show this folder" button. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: config Tag: 88160

    - Alternating between multiple *.PST files... Like Ray19 back on 3-12-08, I've got a pst file issue. I recently got a new computer but still run Outlook Express 6. I've used my new computer for a couple months and have built up numerous items in its' new *.PST file. Now I'd like to go back to the old PST file and review some messages and addresses. How can I alternate between these two PST files (one on my new computer and the other is accessible via my home network). I've looked through several configuration screens and find no place where the PST file location is spelled out. Oh, yeah... Messing with the registery file scares me! Thanks...

    - I need Major Help... I have been working on this problem off and on for a week. It stated with Daylight Savings Time...both PC and Pocket PC were correct time but appts. off by hour. Nothing on Windows Mobile was helping and then I saw an upgrade to Windows Mobile verson 6.1, which I did. Now computer will not recognize Pocket PC. I decide to try the CD that came with T-Mobile Wing and on there is a Trial Version of Outlook 2007, which I download. But Outlook 2002 only comes up and Outlook 2007 is only visible under "remove programs." I end up here and see that 2002 and 2007 cannot work side by side so I reinstall 2007 and ask it to remove earlier version. Now I have no 2002 and still cannot locate 2007. I search for *.pst and nothing comes up. Now I'm flipping out and restore to earlier time. Still no 2002 or 2007. Can someone please help? Thanks! -- Hana Tag: config Tag: 88149

    - Typeahead lost in upgrade I know this is a common issuse as there are other pages covering it, but none offering a fix - Upgrading from Outllook Express 6 To Outlook 2003 has left the users with no typeahead action in the To: field of new messages. This is perhaps a more critical bug than it might at first seem, as some users have developed working-procedures which depend on typeahead. It seems the root of the problem is that Outlook stores the typeahead name-list elsewhere than the Contacts folder -whereas OE does use the addressbook- and that info isn't migrated. Does anyone know where the typeahead info is stored? Tag: config Tag: 88145

    - Outlook Rules I have a client who has been using Outlook as a standalone POP3 client. He now has a new laptop that he will be using with Exchange on SBS 2003. He has a lot (around 450) rules that take incoming mail and deliver the messages to specific folders and then send him an alert that he has received mail from the person. I exported the rules to a file and then attempted to import them to the new laptop. All but about 6 of the rules will not import correctly. It seems as if Outlook now sees the folder path as different. Is there any way to import these rules and not have to recreate all of them? Tag: config Tag: 88138

    - Custom form problems We have a custom form that we use in Outlook for time off requests. Basically the user opens the form, it automatically populates the "To" field w/ her manager (pulled from AD) and she fills in the time off and sends it along. The manager opens it, clicks Approve or Reject and if its approved a message is sent to the user and also a copy goes to our corporate payroll. The time off is also entered into both the user and manager's calendar. We're having problems on a user that is running Office 2007 (with SP1). When he tries to approve the time off it appears to send and then he gets an error message stating "Outlook does not recognize one or more names." If he looks in his sent items the "approved" message isn't there but the time off will show up in his calendar. The user requesting the time off never gets a response and neither does our corporate payroll dept. When this initially started happening one of our IT guys recreated his login profile on his desktop -- so he started with a clean profile. That appeared to resolve the problem but now (after a couple of days) it's back. This form was written by a previous employee so we're pretty limited in terms of how it was setup and making changes to the actual form without some guidance. Any ideas? Tag: config Tag: 88129

    - Update junk email filter removes outlook profile Hi, I have a small problem with the updates to the Outlook junk email filter. I am running Windows XP with SP2 and Office 2003. Outlook is the latest version (2003 with SP3). Every month when the updates are released by Microsoft, Outlook creates a Backup of the Default Oulook Profile, and resets the Default Outlook Profile. This means that each month I loose all settings (signatures, cached mode setting, extra mailboxes, etc.) unless I remove the Default Outlook Profile and rename the backup back to Default Outlook Profile. Does anybody else recognise this problem or know of a way to resolve this? Tag: config Tag: 88105

    - Can't change .pst file from Read Only? I am attempting to transfer my old .pst file (2002 Outlook) from an old hard drive where the computer failed (system was XP) to a new machine running Vista. One of the steps is to copy the old .pst file from the old drive to the new system, then to change the .pst file from Read Only and point Outlook to it. I can change (unhighlight) the Read Only box and Apply but when I look again at the file the Read Only box is again highlighted? How can I change this file from Read Only so that Outlook can attempt to operate with it? I understand that Outlook 2002 and Vista are not compatable but was hoping to at least retrieve my contact addresses. Yes, I am very new to vista! Thanks for any help provided.

    - Automatic Formatting (using colors) stopped working I have my inbox set up to apply different colors to incoming email based on the "From" field. Some of my filters have stopped working and I cannot get them to function anymore. I have not made any changes to any of the rules. I've tried to restate the rules and add new ones without success. Some of my filters are still functioning properly. All of the filters still function properly on my other mail folders (which I use to organize old messages). Just not my inbox. If I transfer an uncolored message from my inbox to one of my organizational folder, sometimes the message turns the approriate color. If I tranfer a still colored messge some time the color turns off. While the Organize pane is open, I have clicked the Automatic Formatting link at the top right and examined the individual rules carefully and see if I could figure out the problem that way. Some of the rules don't work anymore and some do. An example of a rule that doesn't work any more is: Properties of Selected Rule = font is green Advanced Condition: Field = From Condition = contains Value = jdoe@anywhere.org An example of a rule that still works is: Properties of Selected Rule = font is pink Advanced Condition: Field = From Condition = contains Value = jsmith@someplace.org I am using Outlook Professional 2003. Each of the rules (both wokring and non working) have around 50 simple one line rules like the above. (basically 50 unique senders). The problem started concurrently with my .pst file reaching almost 1.9 GB. I split my mail folders into new .pst files and compacted them so they are each now, about 800 MB. Could this have corrupted my rules somehow? I live and breath by my colored e-mails. Any help would be most appreciated. Tag: config Tag: 88071

    - Importing WAB addressbook with hierarchical folders As the title says, one user has multiple hierarchical folders in a Windows Address Book (.WAB) file, and so far it's proved impossible to import these into Outlook 2003. All the import utility will do is to import the toplevel folder into Contacts, omitting the rest. The user needs this addressbook in its present format since it lists the contacts for each client/job in a logical manner. Re-creating it by hand would be a very lengthy process. That is, if it's even possible as I can't find any way to create a tree of subfolders in Contacts, it seems to be a flatfile only. Any suggestions? Tag: config Tag: 88013

    - Outlook 2000, XP and 2003 Hi all, many users have to work on the same PC (shift work). I'd need get all new users, after the first one, use the same configuration (in few word the same .pst file) about outlook. Up now I solved this issue configuring the pst for the first user and copying it in a location externally to personal folder. Then I rename the original pst file in personal folder adding an .old extension. Then I start Outlook and browse until the new pst when outlook asks for an existent pst. I repeat these steps for all new users. My question is: is there a tool, a script or something workaround to get this automation? i.e. is it possible that all new users, with their first login to PC, use a specific pst instead the default one? maybe working on the default user profile? Sorry for my not very clear english. I hope the sense is clear, at least. Nicola M. Tag: config Tag: 87994
