  • HELP: Email body is deleted when i receive voting buttons response
    • Hi All, Whenever I vote using voting buttons, Email body gets deleted when the voting response is sent. So for eg: If I have enabled voting buttons and asked to vote on something from person xyz, the person xyz votes "accept" or "reject" and the email body is deleted when I receive the vote response email. Is there a solution for this? I want the email body to stay when I receive the voting responses. Thanks in advance.

  • Time Offset by One Hour
    • This one's strange to me. I have one client in my organization that when he sends a meeting request out or (to test this theory) he sends himself an email it shows that it showed up using the correct date but it says it showed an hour earlier. His system time is set correctly (we're in CST) and when we look at the properties of his Outlook client\Calendar Options it too shows he's in CST and it gives up the correct time/date. Where am I not looking to get this fixed? Any reply would be greatly appreciated - the digitaljanitor

  • how do I delete attachments in the text body of received emails
    • I have just changed from 2003 to 2007 version of Outlook. I can delete attachments in received mails which are stored in the top banner, but if they are in the text body of the message I cannot delete them. When I press the 'Delete' dutton on the top of the screen, the entire message is deleted, even if I just highlight the attachment first. There is no delete feature available on a right mouse click. Any suggestions? Thanks,..

  • Exporting data from outlook
    • Hi all, I want to transfer data from an specific map in an excel sheet. I know I can export it simply by hitting file>Import & export. But when the data is exported, i can't see in excel the date of receiving and sending of the emails. It's only possible to write the following data in excel: - subject - body - From - To - CC - BCC - Billing information - catergories - Importance - Mileage - Sensitivity Is there a way to also write the date data of the emails of the specific map in excel?

  • 2007 Outlook & Word as editor
    • Just upgraded to Office 2007 (Outlook, Word, Excel, Power Pt ) Windows XP Some user was having random trouble with a yellow font on received and sent e-mails and after a search in outlook general quest answered, tried various fixes. We are watching now to see if OK. Some answers mentioned the editor, so this leads to my question: what does it mean it uses Word as editor? Just Spelling, auto-correct, spacing? What else does Outlook use Word for? Thanks for your time

  • Applying corporate standards
    • The powers that be here have decided they want a particular look and feel to our emails. I've worked out a method where I keep the email signatures on the server and part of the login script uses RoboCopy to make sure the workstation local files haven't changed. Other parts of the request are a bit trickier to meet: 1. Ensure "Compose message in" is set to HTML 2. For both Replies and Forwarded messages, select "Include original message text" (no indent!) 3. Set font for new messages and replies to Arial, 10 pt, black 4. For reply messages, set "Mark my comments with" to the person's initials, ie. GL 5. Under Stationary and Fonts, set to "Use my font when replying and forwarding messages" 6. No stationary should be used to disrupt the desired "clean" look. I know these all can't be controlled by a GPO, but I was wondering if I could control them by loading a registry file of the applicable lines during the workstation signin process? We are mostly Outlook 2003 with a few 2007 in use. Domian controllers are 2003 Standard and Exchange is running 2008. Thoughts anyone? Marten

  • Accessing an OST file
    • I have a user that is looking for a long lost email that she "hopes" she saved. Of course, she has many, many PST files. The email is not in any of those. There are 3 OST files in the default Outlook folder on her computer. Is there a way to open and search those files? I've done some research and have read that if the OST is orphaned, then you need to buy software that will let you convert the OST to a PST. That doesn't seem to be the case here, it is in her windows folder. Thanks

  • Accidentally tried moving outlook folder to another drive....now cannot use Outlook 2007 on Vista
    • 1. Was getting ready to back up laptop to install a full version of Windows 7. 2. Accidentally tried moving the folder that held OUTLOOK DATA BACKUP folder (outlook.pst and outlook1.pst) 3. Got an error message about moving it (realized then this outer folder held outlook); so cancelled move. -- outlook files did NOT get moved or copied to another drive -- outlook.pst and outlook1.pst are still in original location 4. I have restarted my computer. 5. I tried starting Outlook 2007 (I have Vista version 6 service pack 2) 6. It gives me the following error (it will not open): cannot open your default e-mail folders. file access is denied. you do not have the permission required to access the file 7. I have tried going through online MS support. I have attempted to change permissions as suggested. Nothing has changed. Note: I wanted to try to go through MS support but I cannot access the actual code INSIDE Outlook because it won't open. (doubting I would have free support since the product is more than a year old I think) ... I do have my Office product code. Thank you very much for any assistance you may be able to give me.

  • backup email and contacts
    • I'm using Outlook 2007. I am preparing to do a clean install and backing up all my data. I made a copy of my .pst file. Will that save my contacts as well? Or, just email?

  • Outlook Group incoming email assignment via rotation
    • I need to define a group such that: - Emails coming into the group email address (I don't know if thi should be a distribution list or something else) can be forwarded to single member of the group. - Assignment of the email to a group member will be via round-robi rotation through the group. - Round-robin mechanism must be able to recognize when a group membe is marked as out of office and assign the incoming email to the nex group member. I have no idea if this is possible, though I'm assuming that it woul need to be servers-side (Exchange) rather than client-side. Which ma mean I need to move it to a different forum. Please advise. Anyone have any ideas? I'm hoping that this need has come up before an a solution already exists. It's a pretty common requirement for a sale group where you need to be able to provide sales leads with one commo email address for point of contact, and then assign the incoming email from those leads to sales reps on a fair and equial basis.

  • can one convert a .csv file to a .pst file in Outlook 7?
    • I exported all my old emails in my Personal folders to Office Live Workspace. They savced out in csv form, and show up in Office Live Workspace in a document format. But now when I save them back to the desktop, they save in csv form, and I can's seem to figure out how to get them back in my Outlook 7 in pst file form, so they look like email. I had three years worth of old email that I exported to Office Live Workspace thinking I could just import them back to my Outlook, after having my computer wiped. Now I can't seem to get them back.

  • Hvordan overtager man en andens (pc og) aflagte outlook program?
    • Jeg har overtaget min mors pc. Hun har installeret office outlook 2003. Jeg har slettet hendes konto, men kan ikke finde ud af at oprette min egen. De skal bruge mange oplysninger : servertype, udgÃ¥ende servertype, indgÃ¥ende servertype, navn, e-mailadresse, brugernavn, adgangskode. Jeg ved ikke, hvad det er de forventer her. Jeg er næsten sikker pÃ¥ at serveren er pop3, men alt det andet gør mig forvirret: hvilken udgÃ¥ende og indgÃ¥ende server?? Hvilken adresse?? (Den jeg vil oprette eller den jeg har hos hotmail?) Adgangskode?? (igen: en ny eller en gammel?). Det er lykkedes mig at koble min hotmail-konto sammen med outlook, sÃ¥ den konto har fÃ¥et sin egen lille mappe, men det synes jeg ikke er godt nok. Jeg vil ha min egen outlook-adresse/konto, hvor mine hotmail-adresser og mails overføres til, og hvor alle mails ryger op i den øverste indbakke. Hvem kan lige forklare mig det her outlook halløj som omjeg var tre Ã¥r gammel?

Any advice or even a temporary workaround solution so I can respond to emails? Tried rebooting the computer and it didn't help. There is no error message and nothing out of the ordinary was done prior to this happening. The computer is using Windows 2000 I think and Microsoft Office 2003 is installed I think. I've tried searching google but no luck yet.

Is there any way we can prevent that? This seems to extend right to Outlook 2007. BTW if a mailbox is over-quota, can I still save a draft?! If not, why is it still marked as "replied"!

  • What is the future of Outlook?
    • I have been using Outlook for about ten years and so have a lot of data that I wish to preserve. But Microsoft seem to be abandoning Outlook (unless you use are a corporate user and have Exchange server). I'm a private user - but having online sycn across a variety of devices is still important to me. This is not possible with outlook - unless you have Exchange. So my question is - do I abandon outlook amd move to Windows live mail (with its shortfalls compared to Outlook)? Or should I hang on to Outlook in the hope that Microsoft will implement cloud synchronisation for Outlook?

  • unknown error
    • Client has the 2003 version of Outlook (11.5608.5606) and is having problems on the laptop. First, are there any updates to this version we should try? When trying to do work in Outlook 2003, the error "The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, try restarting Outlook." Well, yeah, the problem persists! Restarting Outlook sometimes helps, sometimes not. This version is supposed to be able to handle large .pst files. Their inbox lists as 3.5 Gb, and the next largest is the sent folder at 286 Mb. Recently, incoming email appears multiple times in their inbox. IOW, the same email is repeated in the inbox. Thx. -- Bill

  • Deleted e-mails are not deleted.
    • I run a small network with mixed users of Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 Until recently each user on the network stored mail in its own local PS file however mail was controlled via our e-mail server (Softalk Mai Server) which collected mail for each users account from our ISP. Eac users Outlook then queried the mail server to bring in e-mail it ha collected. In order to create a centralised mail store I have installed an configured another of Softalk products (Softalk Share Server) whic provides a collaboration and centralised mail store alternative t Exchange. Since using this centralised mail store a problem has occurred which thought must be an issue with the Softalk Share Server software however when googling the problem it seems that many people have th same issue when a centralised mail store is used, such as Exchange o similar but I cannot find a resolution. Now, when an e-mail arrives in a users inbox, if it is deleted befor it is read (ie it has been viewed in the preview pane, deemed a rubbish, but the e-mail has not been opened) then a second after it i deleted it reappears back in the inbox. There are only two ways i which the users can remove the e-mail (again) as selecting th re-appeared e-mail and pressing delete again does not work, a messag box comes up saying something like "the selected object could not b located" If however the user shift-deletes the re-appeared e-mail the they will be asked if they want to permanently delete the e-mail, the say yes and the mail does delete for a second time. The other way o making the re-appeared e-mail disappear is to select another folde within the outlook folders such as deleted items or sent items or an other folder and then return to the inbox, then the reappeared e-mai has gone. This to me seems to be some sort of Outlook refresh issu which I cannot get to the bottom of. Softalk are stumped and do no know why it is happening and as I say, when I google this problem ther are many people having exactly the same issue who do not use Softalk bu another centralised mail store such as exchange or something else. would be grateful if anyone here can shed some light on why this migh be happening and any potential solutions. Thank you -- erictheviking

  • Error with extend.dat
    • I have a multi-user Access-application which creates Outlook emails using automation (Office 2002). It has worked seamlessly for over 2 years now. The application runs in a Citrix environment. Since recently one of the users occasionally and for no apparent reason gets the following error message: "An extension failed to initialize. Can't open file extend.dat...". When he clicks OK everything continues as it should. I Googled and found that it might help to delete the extend.dat file. However, I can't find such a file in the user's private folder. Does someone perhaps: - have an idea where I should look for this file, - or have an other idea how to debug this error? Thanks in advance, Lars

  • Outlook 2007 SP2 calendar issue off by 1 hour??
    • we are having a minor issue with a few users with thier calendar being off by an hour? these are all users with new machines, with all updates installed, and also using new blackberrys, also with the newest OS installed. i maintain a windows server update server in our domain, and push out all of the approved updates, so i know that they are installed. any ideas??? ok, more info on this. i believe its the Outlook client on the end users machine, as i was able to log into his account in webmail and any new appointment i set up for next week was fine, except for when he look at it in his outlook it was behind by an hour(10am appointment show at 9am for him).

  • Help -- Outlook 2000 SMTP problems (Internet mode)
    • One of my users messed up her Outlook by trying to send an email to a mal-formed email address, i.e. john@smith and jones.tld insted of john@smithandjones.tld. Now, whenever she right-clicks on a file and tries to send it as an attachment via email, Outlook gives her an error about trying to send to a malformed email address in the details of the error message, but if you switch tabs on the dialog window, it says outlook failed sending 25 messages. None of the messages appear in the Outbox and I can't figure out how to clear this. I've already created a new PST file, I've already run the "outlook.exe /cleanprofile" and outlook.exe /safe and none of these commands has worked. Is there somewhere to find the "stuck" messages and delete them? HELP!!!
