• Combined view of inboxes. How?
  • Hi all, I just came back to outlook after years. I'm testing the 2010 beta and god, I'm impressed. One thing though I would like but can't achive; In the favoutites pane, you can set up favourite inbox so you can have a quick glance at what's going on on your favourite account. Great, but I would like to be able to have all inboxes in that place. To be specific, I want all the folders etc as they are now but want to be able to preview all incoming mail from many accounts by clicking just one button. I don't want it to move and merge emails from many inboxes into one physically I just want it to combine the view of them... Sorry I can't really descirbe it properly ;0 That's why I've attached a pic.

• OL 2007 save as .txt adds line breaks
  • Good day, we receive reports from our database system in landscape plain text format which are then saved to disk and further processed with systems such as MS Excel or Access. Problem is, that since Outlook 2007 these e-mails get re-formatted by Outlook (adding line breaks according to the display on the screen) causing all Excel / Access routines to break. In Outlook 2003 this did not happen. Is there a way to prevent this and save the .txt e-mail as it comes from the server? Thanks n brgds Philipp Post
• Creating a rule
  • Hello, I always ysed OE for my mail but now that I got a new PC with windows 7 I have to use Microsoft Outlook since OE does not exist in Windows7.

• Outlook 2003: Your message did not reach some or all of the
  • I'm having an odd problem with outgoing email in Outlook 2003. I just got a new laptop w/XP Pro and loaded the MS Office Standar Suite w/SP1. I also downloaded and installed Office SP3. I set up Outlook email w/all my POP3 settings and tested the setting in Outlook -- all fine. Incoming email is no problem. However for some outgoing emails, I ge an immediate (and I mean instantaneous) bounce-back message that look like the following: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: Test Sent: 2/5/2010 12:13 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: thelsey1@optonline.net on 2/5/2010 12:13 PM None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient. The problem seems to be specific to certain email addresses. Som addresses I send to are fine; others get that instant bounce back. An there seems to be no domain patterns. For example, some gmail addresse work, others don't. to check to make sure it's not my ISP or settings, I set up Outloo Express w/the same settings and all emails went out flawlessly -- n bounce back issue. What's curious is how quickly the emails bounce back. It's not lik it's traveling to the recipient, and being processed, and the returned. It's like it's being immediately rejected. I've uninstalled and re-installed Outlook 2003 and SP3 to no avail. also did a system restore to an earlier point to see if some software loaded might be causing a conflict, but the problem persists. I als disbaled my anti-virus software...problem still persists. Anyone hav any idea what the problem could be -- markgrossman

• Migrating to a new computer
  • Windows XP pro Outlook 2003 I have my email working My calendar has transferred properly I see my contacts folder but I can't use it to send an email to multiple recipients. I get the following error: "The address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated with this address list could not be opened; it may have been moved or deleted, or you do not have permissions. For information on how to remove this folder from the Outlook Address Book, see Microsoft Outlook Help" I believe that's where I got the advice to uncheck "Simple file sharing" When I did so it appeared to me that I had all the rights I needed to get this working. I also tried various kinds of "exports" and "imports" that are provided in Outlook's menu None has worked. Any help will be appreciated
• Where is the Delete Messages options?
  • I've looked and looked without success. I'm pretty sure I saw it before. Its where it asks you if you want to save a copy of messages on the server and then should give an option for it to be deleted from the server when you delete it from your Deleted folder in Outlook. That seems like a good way of syncing things.

• Change file selection from "Word Documents (*.doc)" to "All files (*.*)"
  • Hi all: When I do a mail merge, I merge data to a Word Template (.dot) file, not a Word (.doc) file.

• Outlook 2007 \ Contacts - Group ... possible glitch?
  • I've been using Outlook for many years. Just now I 'removed' several members from a Group Contact but _did not_ save the changes when closing the Group Contact. If I reopen the Group Contact I see the changes that I made (but did not save). I am prompted to Save or Cancel the 'changes' yet again and again I Cancel. The only way to view the Group Contact without those changes is to open yet another Contact and then go back to the Group Contact in question. I now see the unchanged (and original) Group Contact. What am I not understanding here? Also, if this is a known issue, my apologies in advance for taking up your time. Thanks, Dave Horne
• No Personal Folder Files are currently open
  • Yesterday, I exported my contacts from Outlook 2003 to use on another PC. This export worked fine. Since then (may just be coindidence), when I try and back up my personal file using Outlook Personal Folders Backup, the "save backup" button is blank and clicking on options gives the legend "No Personal Folder files are currently open" The last succesful backup was 3 February at 22:36. Well, the Outlook file must be open as all e mail, calendar, contacts, tasks & notes are available and working. I do however have a "Personal Folders" listed at the bottom of the list of folders which cannot be opened, or deleted - could this be something to do with my problem? I have searched for a solution in vain! Can anyone help please? Peter Posting from Peter Rogers peter.c.rogers@NOSPAM.com Replace NOSPAM with ntlworld to reply

• Delete copies of imported emails from OE 6
  • I have a new computer and have been transferring from OE 6 to Outlook 2007. During the process of trying to migrate everything, I managed to import my messages from OE 6 three times and now have triplicates of my messages. I was trying to get the address book and got the messages two more times by mistake. For some reason, cancel did not work. Since I keep all emails from my clients, and have done so for many years, I have thousands of original emails. Is there a way to filter the second and third copy for deletion?

• Where else to find folders of emails on a computer?
  • We are using Outlook 2007 with Exchange server. We have a user who has been moving his emails off of the Exchange server to some folders he created or by Auto Archive feature in Outlook 2007. He basically drag and drop the emails from his Exchange server Inbox to his folders on the left side. The question is, where are all of these folders full of emails located on the local computer? At first I thought it must have been the Auto Archive feature that kicks in every 14 days and created those folders for him to be able to drag and drop, but when I check the following location the archive.pst file size is very small. C:\Documents and Settings\%your username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\ The total folders of emails must be about 1 to 2GB in file size. Where else on the local machine could Outlook had put it? Any help is much appreciated.

• Two questions
  • Using OL 2003 on a WinXP system. 1. I need to run Outlook on both my desktop and my laptop. Is there a pretty easy way to transfer my settings -- e-mail, addresses, notes, etc. -- from my desktop to my laptop? 2. This is about the newsreader. It's frustrating when you're used to working quickly, as I am. I press "Reply," but this sets the response to the poster instead of the newsgroup. I mean to remember to click on Reply Group, but I keep forgetting. I use ctrl-r to respond. Some apps allow you to remap the keyboard so that ctrl-r will be bound to Reply Group. Can I do this with the OL Newsreader? As always, thanks. -- ------------------------------------------ Jeffrey Needle jeff.needle@gmail.com

• Opening Attachments
  • Using Windows 7 and Outlook 2003 on a brand-new computer. Each time I want to open an attachment, it has a box asking if I want to be asked (obviously so a harmful document is not opened).

How do I ensure that I can open documents without being asked this question each and every time I try to open an attachment? Thanks for any help you can give me.
