One of our users has a "number of items" displayed next to her Calendar icon just like it displays by other folders in Outlook. The number is displayed as (3) and never changes.
We tried deleting her profile and recreating it. Tried closing out of Outlook and going back in, and tried a restart.
Any ideas on why the number of items is displaying next to her calendar icon?
Thanks,
Neicha

Hello,
I have used Otlk 2000 for 8 years,the last 6 years with XP Pro/SP2.
Recently I was forced to reinstall Office 2000 & thanks to my backup I lost nothing in re-establishing Otlk except a few settings.
The backup program I used was provided by MS but it appears to be no longer avialable.
It was quite speedy, prompted to allow backup every day or when Otlk ws closed.
I dwnld a Demo version of "BackRex Outlook Backup" which also does the job but takes about 10 times as long. Just completed a backup which took 28 minutes !!!! Worse I have to remember to do it regularly or risk loss of info if I have a crash.
I have also learned to do the backup manually which is acceptably quick but a bit tricky.
In each case I am unsure how to check that the backup is working correctly.
So if anyone can help:
1) with source for original MS add-on
2) suggest better alternative for auto backup.
3) Advise how I can test to ensure the backups are being correctly filed.
Many thanks,
Peter O

Our server melted down this weekend and we decided to drop the domain and establish an XP Workgroup. We noticed that the Local Settings folder was missing along with our .pst files. We found they were hidden but when we tried to access the files we got an "Enter Password" box. There is no password to enter. Can anyone shed some light on this problem.

ok. so i just switched from a pc to a mac and need to transfer my old emails from a .pst format to a .mbox format for them to be compatible with entourage on my mac. this i know. i used this guide to help me.
http://www.riches.com.au/articles/export-outlook-entourage.h tm
it was by far the most helpful thing that i have come across because everything else just says that you need to convert to .mbox but don't tell you how. so i followed these steps and got them in .mbox format. my problem is that when i try to import them into entourage, nothing happens. the box asking if i want to import the file doesn't show up. absolutely nothing happens. i'm stuck. i spent all last night trying to find why this doesn't work and i give up. can anyone tell me why this isn't working or give me an alternate solution to getting my old emails into my mac? thanks!

I run outlook 2003.
I can't send or receive email or open email. I get a message saying I lack file capacity. It says I should shift+delete some emails or open a new 2003 style pst file. I have tried this and cannot import existing emails to it because of the same message.
Where can I find the fisx for this problem?
Thanks,
Barry

Hello,
Their has been a post on this already but I still can't fix my problem just yet.
Outlook 2003 was working great as of yesterday until I didn't properly shut down. I tried to re-opoen and it says " Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened."
I've went onto the microsoft site and they said,
" This issue may occur if you deploy Outlook 2003 with the Microsoft Office 2003 Custom Installation Wizard and specify a personal folder (.pst) file in the Windows Installer transform (MST file) by using the Default location for PST files path option. The problem occurs because you specify a file name instead of a folder path."
They then tell me, To resolve this issue for future installations of Office, use the Custom Installation Wizard to edit the MST file
So I download the Custom Installation Wizard and I get stuck at the page that says," Name and path of MSI file to open."
I read that once I get on page 10 of the Custom Installation Wizard I can change Office User Settings by clicking PST Settings. But I can't get past the first page of the Custom Installation Wizard.
Then they tell me "To resolve this issue for an existing installation (which is my case)of Outlook that is experiencing this problem, specify the .pst file by using the Mail icon in Control Panel." But they don't give me exact details as in how to do it. Please help, I'm trying to hold off on re-installing XP(outlook) cause I don't want to lose all my calender events . HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi
i am keen to use the data collection feature in outlook which automatically updates a database with information recieved from email replies.
the problem is i want this feature but for emails coming in and not replies. these emails are generated from backup software, and i recieve roughly 30 a day, so i was hoping the outlook could send the results of the backup to the database so i can manage them more easily and not have to maunually check each email for either successful backup or failed etc
hope that makes sense
thanks
ps, maybe this post should be in the development section

Good morning. I have been trying to change the default location for my email in Outlook 2007. Under the Email tab, I have only one email address and I want to change the default location to a different data file. There is no option to "change folder" presented on the email tab of account settings. I have 3 .pst files on my computer - one is the outlook.pst personal folder that I want to use as my primary file. There were previous versions of Outlook on my computer prior to installing Outlook 2007. When I went through the set up procedure on first run, I established my email account, which created another .pst file (one of the other 2). I really want to eliminate the additional .pst files and rely only on the outlook.pst as the location for my mail delivery. I do have archive files, as well, both those aren't an issue.
Can anyone provide any guidance? Is this a registry issue?
Thank you,
Ames7701

Hi,
When using Voting Buttons on an email is it possible only to allow the “To” addressees to vote and to restrict CC or BCC addressees, as often such emails are sent to CC or BCC addressees for information only and I do not want them to be included on the vote.
I would be most grateful in any assistance in this matter
Many thanks in advance

I run Windows Vista Home Premium and Outlook 2007. Just recently I have found that anytime I go to minimise Outlook or View Desktop while I have Outlook active, it actually shuts Outlook down. It never did this before and I have no idea why this have started happening. Any suggestions??

Ironically, the emailing function on this forum does not work.
I have spent the last two days of my life trying to request a password reset because I did not write down my login.
Several password request emails were supposedly sent, but were never received. I work on websites like this for a living so I am very adept at searching through junk folders and making sure I didn't miss it on my end.
Your forum software is not generating emails to users.
Just thought the admins might want to be aware of it, as its going to drastically limit participation in the long run.

I have had problems with Outlook recently. Features stop working. On my wife's account, there is no auto send receive; on mine I cannot delete messages without getting folder is full or address violation error messages; I cannot click on a name or subject in a mail box and have the mailbox entries alphabetize by name or subject. Any yes, I have checked all boxes, everything is the same, these features just stopped working. the problam with the send receive just started on a new reinstall, the other problems I was having before the reinstall and after also.
My computer guy has no idea what is up.
I run XP in a Parellels VM on an iMac.
Any ideas?
