* Upper-left corner next to the Microsoft Office Button. (default location)
* Below the Ribbon, which is part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface.

If you don't want the Quick Access Toolbar to be displayed in its current location, you can move it to the other location.

OL 2002: Mail Retrieval Problems Occur When You Receive POP Mail

2008-10-15T00:28:00.000-07:00

SYMPTOMS
If you use Outlook to download messages by using the Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) protocol, the following message retrieval problems may occur:
• Messages that you expect to be deleted from the server after retrieval are not deleted.
• Messages that you purposefully leave on the server are downloaded again the next time a mail retrieval occurs. As a result, duplicate messages are created.
• You are prompted to log on to the server repeatedly during the download and your credentials are not accepted.

CAUSE
These problems occur because the POP3 retrieval design in Outlook 2002 sometimes does not issue the POP3 commands for retrieving and deleting messages in the same communication session. A Request for Comment (RFC) requirement that indicates that the RETR and DELE commands must occur in one session does not exist. However, the commands must exist in one session in certain server implementations of POP3. For example, if a POP3 sever allows only one logon during a time interval (for example, five minutes), when Outlook performs a second logon to complete the RETR/DELE command set during this time period, the second logon is rejected.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Office XP. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
307841 OFFXP: How to Obtain the Latest Office XP Service Pack
In Outlook 2002 SP2, the POP3 retrieval design has been changed so that the RETR/DELE sequence is always completed in the same POP3 session.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Microsoft Office XP Service Pack 2 (SP-2).

MORE INFORMATION
The Outlook 2002 SP2 design change that is described in this article also allows the QUIT command to be included in POP3 protocol logging. Before the design change, the QUIT command was issued after the log file was written. As a result, it seemed that the QUIT command was never issued. The new design shows the QUIT command correctly in the log files

Outlook 2002 Product Description

2008-09-09T03:24:00.000-07:00

Outlook version 2002 makes working with e-mail, tasks, contacts, and appointments more intuitive without requiring users to learn new ways of accomplishing their tasks or spend time searching for the right tools. A variety of security enhancements have been included in Outlook version 2002 to help users feel more secure when working with e-mail. Setup and configuration have been made simpler with such enhancements as single-integrated e-mail mode, customization enhancements in the Custom Installation Wizard, and a simplified interface for setting up e-mail accounts.

New features include AutoComplete Addressing: As a user enters an e-mail address, Outlook automatically recognizes it and completes the name based on previously sent e-mail to the recipient. Users can also now access e-mail from their Hotmail accounts (or other Internet mail providers) directly from within Outlook. Users with multiple e-mail accounts can choose on a per-message basis what account to use to send their message. With Word as the default e-mail editor, users can take advantage of the smart tags that are available in Word (including AutoCorrect, paste options, address, name, date, or customizable smart tags). Smart tags are context-sensitive buttons that give users the options and information they need at the time they need them.

Users can now easily change between different mail formats on the fly and on a per-message basis. By giving users the option to switch between HTML, rich text, or plain text, they can more easily format their message so that the recipient can have the best viewing experience. Mailbox Cleanup allows users to view the size of their mailbox, search for files by size or by age, and then delete, move, or archive those files to clear up space. Exchange users can also automatically be notified when they are approaching their mailbox size limit and choose from the above options for cleaning up their mailbox. And Outlook can now automatically clean up plain text e-mail formatting that often contains extra line breaks that make the message difficult to read. Outlook automatically removes the extra line breaks (an option exists to turn this off as well) when a user opens an e-mail message, previews the message in the preview pane, or prints the message so that it is easier to read.

How to Use Outlook with Covad.net

2008-08-26T05:04:00.000-07:00

You can use Outlook with your Covad.net e-mail account. The following steps set up Outlook to both receive and send e-mail messages with your Covad.net account.

Note You can receive your Covad.net e-mail messages by using Outlook from most places with an Internet connection. However, to send e-mail messages, you must be connected directly to the Covad.net service or use an alternate Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server on the service you are using at that location. For example, if you want to check your Covad.net e-mail account at work, configure Outlook to use your work SMTP server to send messages.

Do one of the following:

Add your Covad.net e-mail account

On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
Click POP3, and then click Next.
Under User Information, do the following:

In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that you want it to appear to other people.
In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name, followed by @covad.net.

Under Server Information, do the following:

In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type pop3.covad.net.
In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type smtp.covad.net.

Under Logon Information, do the following:

In the User Name box, type your user name provided by Covad.net.
In the Password box, type your password.
Select the Remember password check box.

Note You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you are prompted to supply or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
Click More Settings.
On the General tab, under Mail Account, type Covad.net.
Click OK, and then click Next.
Click Finish.

Notes

Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.
Unless specified by Covad.net, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters. For more go to Outlook Support

Remove your Covad.net e-mail account

On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
Click the Covad.net e-mail account that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
Click Finish.

Access your work e-mail and schedule from home

2008-08-07T14:59:00.000-07:00

With the prevalence of computers and Internet connections at home, you may have wondered how you can access your work e-mail and schedule in Outlook 2002 from your home computer, handheld PC, or Pocket PC.
With Outlook, you can send and receive e-mail messages and share other information from your office, from home, and from the road. At the office, you typically connect to a server on a local network. At home or on the road, you can manage your e-mail messages and other items on your work computer in one of the following ways:
• From a desktop or laptop computer using the Remote Mail or Offline Folder feature in Outlook.
• From a mobile device, such as a Pocket PC or handheld PC.
This article gives you an overview of how each option works and tells you where to get more information and provide Outlook Support.
Using a Pocket PC or handheld PC
The Pocket PC and handheld PCs are types of mobile devices, that is, information appliances that are more similar to a TV than to a desktop computer. Both devices offer a version of Outlook that runs on the device, as well as the ability to synchronize the information on the device with your office and/or home computer. You can view your e-mail on your Pocket PC or handheld PC online. Messages that you receive through your regular ISP (such as MSN® and AOL), your corporate network, and your Internet-based e-mail (such as MSN® Hotmail®) can show up in your Inbox on your Pocket PC or handheld PC.
By using Microsoft ActiveSync® on your Microsoft Windows®-based computer, you can synchronize your Pocket PC or handheld PC with your desktop PC over both direct and remote connections. These devices connect to your desktop or laptop computer for synchronization using a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable or a serial cable, or infrared connection. You can also connect using a modem (with network Remote Access Service, or RAS, server access), or you can connect to a LAN using a network (Ethernet) card. For details about Pocket PC functionality, visit the Pocket PC Web page. For details about handheld PC functionality, visit the Handheld PC Features: Hardware Web page.

How to hide headers when viewing e-mail messages

2008-07-25T01:55:00.000-07:00

Thankfully, you don't have to view or print long e-mail headers anymore. Microsoft Outlook Support ® provides several ways to hide or to remove previous information from the From, To, Cc, and Bcc fields when you view and print messages.

Outlook makes it easy to hide headers when you view e-mail messages on screen.

To hide message headers in Outlook 2000, 98, and 97
1. Open the e-mail message containing the header you want to hide.
2. On the View menu, click Message Header. Outlook 2000 hides all fields except the Subject line. Outlook 98 and 97 hide all fields except the From line.

Scheduling interviews and meetings Using Outlook 2002

2008-07-21T23:36:00.000-07:00

Students can easily schedule and keep track of appointments with the people they interview, as well as set up group meetings by using the distribution lists that they have created. If the people to be interviewed also are using Outlook Support, the students can send meeting invitations and even schedule online meetings.

To schedule a meeting by using a distribution list

In the Outlook Calendar, click the day you want to hold the meeting, and then double-click the specific time.
In the appointment form, click Invite Attendees.

How to Talk With Internet Telephony

2008-07-10T07:05:00.000-07:00

You can make talk with cheap with internet Telephony. Now I am discussing some thing about Email Support and further continuing with latest update about Email .With the deregulation of the U.S. telecommunications industry, the price of phone calls has plummeted in recent years. But even at reduced rates, monthly charges can added up for chatty folks. A new technology, Internet telephony, also known as VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) virtually eliminates long distances charges, allowing you to call almost anywhere in the world for the price of a local call. If you have broadband Internet access, you can't beat the price--it's practically free.
Digital Dialing
With Internet telephony or VoIP, you place a voice call either from your computer to another person's computer or to a landline or mobile phone. When calling from computer-to-computer, both parties must have compatible telephony software and be online at the same time. At the moment, there are no universal standards, so be sure to determine which software the person you want to call uses. Calling from computer-to-telephone is simpler, because only you need the software. You can download telephony software and it's free. In either case, you'll also need some hardware: a sound card (most computers already have one installed), a microphone and speakers (or a headset).

To save a vCard file to a convenient location

2008-07-04T06:29:00.000-07:00

Business cards are a great way to share information about yourself and your company when you want to network with others-potential clients, employees, employers, businesses whose services you want to use, friends, and so on. However, relying on printed business cards alone can be risky: You and the people you give them to can lose them, misplace them, or run out just when encountering a valuable contact. A handy solution is electronic business cards, called vCards (virtual business cards), which you can send in e-mail using Outlook.

Think how much handier it'll be for recipients when your business card is stored on their computers. No more digging through briefcases or wallets for a little piece of paper! And think how much easier it'll be for them to share your information with others when they can send your electronic business card to anyone they exchange e-mail with Outlook Support.

Before you can send a vCard, you must enter in Contacts the information for the person whose business card you're going to send. This includes adding an entry for yourself if you're going to send your own business card.

Follow the steps to save a vCard file…

Click Contacts, and then select the contact you want to open.
On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Selected Items.
In the contact, on the File menu, click Export to vCard. Specify the location where you want to save the file, and then click Save. When you want to insert the file in an item that you have opened, on the Insert menu in the item, click File, and then select the .vcf file.

When you receive a vCard file from someone else, you can transfer the information to Contacts to automatically create a contact for that person. Once the information is in Contacts, you can forward it at any time as a vCard.

How to Keep your Web clippings in Outlook Notes

2008-06-30T05:04:00.000-07:00

As you are surfing the Web or reviewing a document, you might come across some information that you want to save for a project that you are working on or for some other future reference.

In the days before computers, ATM machines, and 250+ channels of television, when people wanted to save some information from a newspaper or magazine, they used to cut the articles out by using scissors and then file the information in a folder. Now you can put your scissors away and let Outlook help organize all those electronic clippings by using Outlook Notes.

You've probably noticed the Notes button in the Navigation Pane It sits there lonely while you devote your attention to the Mail, Calendar, and Tasks buttons. It's time for you to get with the program and get more out of Outlook.

1.Click and drag the bar above the Mail button. You can increase or decrease the number of buttons shown by moving the bar. When you make the navigation buttons area smaller, the icons move to the button tray. The icons on the button tray can also be clicked.

2. Click Notes to view all of your Outlook Notes.

Leave e-mail messages on your e-mail server

2008-06-24T04:42:00.001-07:00

All the e-mail messages that you receive go through an e-mail server (e-mail server: A computer that stores e-mail messages.) for your e-mail account (e-mail account: The server name, user name, password, and e-mail address used by Outlook to connect to an e-mail service. You create the e-mail account in Outlook by using information provided by your administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).). Depending on the type of e-mail account that you use, your e-mail messages are processed in one or more of the following ways.

1. Messages remain on the server. Outlook connects to the server, and you can read or delete your messages.
2. Messages are downloaded to a local data file called a Personal Folder File (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.). Outlook connects to the local .pst file so that you can read and delete your messages.
3. Copies of messages are downloaded and synchronized with messages on the e-mail server. Microsoft Exchange Server accounts provide this functionality by creating a local Offline Folder File (.ost) (Offline Folder file: The file on your hard disk that contains offline folders. The offline folder file has an .ost extension. You can create it automatically when you set up Outlook or when you first make a folder available offline.). This file is used for working offline when you can't connect or don't want to connect to the e-mail server. This file is also used by the Cached Exchange Mode feature in Outlook 2003.
E-mail account types differ in how e-mail messages are saved and synchronized with the e-mail server. For example, by default POP3 e-mail accounts delete e-mail messages from the e-mail server when downloaded into Outlook. However, you can customize how e-mail messages are retrieved and saved. Other e-mail accounts, such as an Exchange Server e-mail account, save all e-mail messages on the e-mail server by default. You can configure an Exchange Server e-mail account to keep a copy of e-mail messages on your computer that allows you to read e-mail messages when not connected to the Exchange Server.
I have discussed above How to leave Massage on the Server and also want to provide link for Outlook Support and Email Support.

Sort your e-mail twice in Outlook

2008-05-20T23:59:00.000-07:00

So your Outlook Inbox is a mess. You have 150 pieces of unread messages from six months ago that are still not hidden away in folders. And you know you received an invitation to a meeting, but you don't remember when you received it. Good news: It's easy to find it. You can sort and then sort again.

Click the Icon column heading in your Inbox. This organizes everything by type of e-mail — responses, invitations, and so on, each of which appear with a different icon in your Inbox.
Highlight all of the messages that belong to the type you are looking for — in this case, meeting invitations.
Click the Received column heading in the Inbox to sort again, this time by date. The items you highlighted remain highlighted, and you can spot the invitation you are looking for easily.

You can sort on any of the column headings in your Inbox. Each sort will become more refined as you select items.

Microsoft Outlook POP3 e-mail accounts

2008-05-16T00:13:00.000-07:00

When you retrieve e-mail messages from a POP3 “(POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.)” e-mail account, the messages are deleted from the e-mail server by default after they are downloaded to your computer. For many people, this works great.

However, if you want to check your e-mail from multiple computers, you must configure Outlook to not delete the messages on your e-mail server. This scenario is most common for people who want to check their home Internet service provider (ISP) e-mail account from work and download the messages for permanent storage on their home computer Help.

When you leave messages on your e-mail server, you can choose from several options to delete your messages. To make your choice, you need to consider several factors about your e-mail usage, such as how long you want the messages to be accessible from multiple computers and the storage limits imposed by your e-mail server administrator. If you exceed your storage limit, you might be unable to receive new messages or might be charged additional fees. Typically, it is best to have one computer set to the default setting that doesn't leave e-mail messages on the e-mail server. When you use the computer to retrieve your e-mail messages, they are downloaded and deleted from the e-mail server. If you choose not to do this, Outlook allows you to select a time duration for leaving e-mail messages on the server.

On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
Select your ISP account, and then click Change.
Click More Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and under Delivery, select the Leave a copy of messages on the server check box.

· Select one of the following options:

Remove from server after x days E-mail messages are downloaded to your computer but remain on the e-mail server for the number of days that you specify. This is the most common setting for people who want to read their messages at work but also download them for permanent storage on their home computer. We recommend that you choose the smallest number of days that suits your needs. The longer you leave messages on your e-mail server, the greater the risk of exceeding your mailbox size quota.
Remove from server when deleted from 'Deleted Items' E-mail messages are downloaded to your computer but also remain on the e-mail server indefinitely until you delete the e-mail message in Outlook and empty the Deleted Items folder. Just deleting the message doesn't remove the message from the e-mail server.

If you do not select either check box, messages are left on the server indefinitely. You can eventually exceed your mailbox quota, unless you connect to the e-mail server from another computer that has Microsoft Outlook configured to remove messages from the e-mail server.

· Click OK, and then click Finish.

How to Change the display name that e-mail recipients see

2008-05-13T00:18:00.000-07:00

Do your e-mail recipients see only part of your name, for example only your first name, but you want them to see your full name?

When you first set up your e-mail account, you might have not typed your full name. You can easily correct this in the E-mail Account configuration.

1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.

2. Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.

3. Select your Internet service provider (ISP) account, and then click Change.

4. Under User Information, in the Your Name box, type your name the way that you want other people to see your name.

5. Click Next, and then click Finish.

Synchronize your Pocket PC with Outlook

2008-05-05T00:11:00.000-07:00

You can synchronize e-mail messages, calendar items, contacts, notes, and tasks between Outlook and your Pocket PC by using Microsoft ActiveSync®. With ActiveSync, you can create a partnership between your Pocket PC and desktop computer Help by using a cable, cradle, or infrared. After you create a partnership, you can synchronize your data by using a modem or network (Ethernet) card if your Pocket PC supports it. You can also use your existing computer to connect to other resources through ActiveSync. You can synchronize information between your mobile device and a server if your company is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.

Outlook POP3 e-mail account

In the New Partnership Wizard, choose to synchronize with the Inbox, which is part of Microsoft Outlook.

On your desktop computer, open ActiveSync.
In ActiveSync, click Options.
Under Server, select the Enable synchronization with a server check box.

Password protection of Microsoft Outlook

2008-04-30T23:41:00.000-07:00

Currently there is no way to password protect Outlook on startup or to lock Outlook if you need to quickly walk away from your computer other than by using your Microsoft Windows® logon password or by using third-party software written specifically to password protect Outlook. However, you can set a password on your Personal Folders file (.pst). If you use an Internet e-mail account in Outlook, such as a POP3 or HTTP account, your e-mail messages are delivered to a .pst data file on your computer's local hard disk. You can use a password on your .pst file to help prevent accidental intrusion by other people whom you share your computer with.

On the Go menu, click Folder List.
Do one of the following:

If you have a POP3 e-mail account, right-click the Personal Folders folder, and then click Properties For "Personal Folders" on the shortcut menu.
If you have an HTTP e-mail account (not supported in Outlook 2000), such as MSN® Hotmail®, right-click the Hotmail folder, and then click Properties For "Hotmail" on the shortcut menu.

On the General tab, click Advanced.
Click Change Password.
In the Change Password dialog box, type your new password and verify it by typing it a second time. The password can be up to 15 characters.

Note Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

Make sure that the Save this password in your password list check box is cleared. This prevents the password from being cached, and you need to type the password each time you run Outlook. Don't forget the password.
Click OK three times.

When you click the e-mail account folder, you will be prompted for your password. After you gain access, you won't have to enter the password again for that session. If you exit and then restart Microsoft Outlook, you will be prompted for the password when you click the e-mail account folder.

Important The .pst password feature is not intended to provide security against hackers. It is just a way to prevent inadvertent intrusion by other people whom you trust and share your computer with, such as at home with your family. A more secure way of protecting your data on a computer that you share with other people is to create a password-protected Windows user account for each individual using the computer Support.

Send a vCard Using Microsoft Outlook

2008-04-27T23:12:00.000-07:00

You Can send vCard Using Microsoft outlook. I want to continue with Microsoft Outlook vCard and want to share my Experience with Microsoft Outlook and Computer Support.

In your Microsoft Outlook Contacts, enter information for the person whose business card you want to send. (If you've already done this, go to step 2.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Contact. In the Full Name box, type a name for the contact. Enter any additional contact information.

Tip To quickly create an entry in Contacts for another individual, open a message you received from them, right-click on the sender's name in the From line, and then click Add to Contacts on the shortcut menu.

Send the vCard to the individual you want to receive it. In the open contact, on the Actions menu, click Forward as vCard. Outlook attaches the contact information in a vCard file called contactname.vcf
Complete the rest of the message and click Send.

Note You can automatically include a vCard every time you send a message. Just add the vCard to your signature!

Outlook does not save a copy of contactname.vcf on your hard disk when you send the vCard directly from Contacts. This means that you'll need to open Contacts each time you want to send someone's vCard. If you want more flexibility in distributing a vCard — for example, if you want to be able to insert a vCard in a message that you've already started composing or in other Outlook items-save the file for that vCard to a convenient location where you can access it.

Password is not saved when connecting to an e-mail server

2008-04-18T01:55:00.001-07:00

If you have problems saving your e-mail account password, the Microsoft Windows® Registry setting might be incorrect.

Every time that you use Outlook to connect to your POP3 e-mail account, you might be prompted for a password. Even though you selected the Remember this password check box, each time that you send or receive e-mail messages, you might be prompted for your password again.

Microsoft Knowledge Base article 290684 is available to help you correct this behavior by stepping you through the process of removing your user account information from the Protected Storage System Provider subkey in the Windows Registry and entering your password options again in Outlook.

Warning If you use registry editor incorrectly, you might cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using registry editor incorrectly. Use registry editor at your own risk.

Use Outlook with Adelphia.net

2008-04-15T22:32:00.000-07:00

You can use Outlook with your Adelphia.net e-mail account. The following steps set up Outlook to both receive and send e-mail messages with your Adelphia.net account.

Note You can receive your Adelphia.net e-mail messages by using Microsoft Outlook from most places with an Internet connection. However, to send e-mail messages, you must be connected directly to the Adelphia.net service or use an alternate Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) e-mail server on the service you are using at that location. For example, if you want to check your Adelphia.net e-mail account at work, configure Outlook to use your work SMTP server to send messages.

Add your Adelphia.net e-mail account

On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next.
Click POP3, and then click Next.
Under User Information, do the following:

In the Your Name box, type your full name the way that you want it to appear to other people.
In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name, followed by @adelphia.net.

Under Server Information, do the following:

In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type mail.adelphia.net.
In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type mail.adelphia.net.

Under Logon Information, do the following:

In the User Name box, type your user name provided by Adelphia.net.
In the Password box, type your password.
Select the Remember password check box.

Note You have the option to have Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Having Outlook remember your password means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account; however, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If there is missing or incorrect information, such as your password, you are prompted to supply or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
Click More Settings.
On the General tab, under Mail Account, type Adelphia.net.
Click OK, and then click Next.
Click Finish.

Notes

Do not select the Log on using Secure Password Authentication (SPA) check box.
Unless specified by Adelphia.net, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters.

Remove your Adelphia.net e-mail account

On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
Click the Adelphia.net e-mail account that you want to remove, and then click Remove.

Tips for managing your Outlook mailbox

2008-04-09T22:31:00.000-07:00

There are following tips for managing Outlook Mailbox
Use keyboard shortcuts
Once you discover keyboard shortcuts, you may find it tough to use your computer without them. Here are three important keyboard shortcuts that you can use to manage e-mail messages in your Outlook Inbox:
• Press CTRL+D to delete the current e-mail message.
• Press CTRL+R to reply to the current e-mail message.
• Press CTRL+F to forward the current e-mail message.
You can also manage junk e-mail in your Outlook 2002 Inbox with the following keyboard shortcuts. If the Junk E-mail feature hasn't been enabled in Outlook, follow these steps first:
1. On the Tools menu, click Organize, and then click Junk E-Mail.
2. Set options for handling junk mail and/or adult content messages, and then click Turn on. You can now use the following shortcuts to manage your junk e-mail:
• Press ALT+A, J, J to add the current e-mail message's sender to your Junk Senders List.

This isn't an error message; it just indicates that this rule resides on your computer and is only active when Outlook is running. Server-side rules (rules that reside on a server) are active regardless of whether Outlook is currently running or not.
Streamline your frequent mailers
If you frequently send e-mail to the same person, make it easier on yourself. In Outlook, you can create a desktop shortcut that will open a blank, pre-addressed message that's all ready for you to send. Here's how:
1. Right-click in an empty area of your desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
2. In the Create Shortcut dialog box, type mailto: and enter the e-mail address of your recipient, leaving no spaces.
3. Click Next, and then choose a name for your shortcut.
4. Click Finish, and a new shortcut appears on your desktop.
5. Double-click the icon, and Outlook opens with your recipient's address in the To field. Just compose your message and send as normal.
Clean up your mailbox
You can quickly clean up your Outlook mailbox to reduce the amount of distracting mailbox clutter. To use this feature:
1. On the Tools menu, click Mailbox Cleanup.
2. Select options to find old or large items to move or delete.
3. Do one of the following:

• To customize archiving behavior, on the Tools menu, click Options, click the Other tab, and click AutoArchive.
Read e-mail messages without opening them
You can quickly manage your Outlook e-mail messages by glancing at the message content without taking the time to open the messages. There are two ways:
• On the View menu, click AutoPreview to see the first three lines of each e-mail message in the message list.
• On the View menu, click Preview Pane to see the complete e-mail message below the message list.

Repairing an Offline Folder file (.ost)

2008-04-06T22:27:00.000-07:00

You may want to scan and repair your .ost if you:

Encounter a large numbers of conflict items.
Cannot open particular Outlook items when offline.
Receive unexpected synchronization error messages (as shown in the synchronization log in the Deleted Items folder).
Receive the message:

Unable to expand the folder. The set of folders could not be opened. Errors could have been detected in the file drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.ost. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool.

Note The file path specified in the message may vary depending upon the operating system you are using on your computer.

In addition, you might be able to open folders in the .ost but get synchronization error messages that do not go away. This happens when a single e-mail message is damaged and the synchronization process cannot correct it. You can use the OST Integrity Tool to fix damaged messages or to move them so you can synchronize successfully.

Important: You may need to run scanpst.exe (see the first procedure above) first if the OST Integrity Tool cannot open the .ost file.

To scan and repair the .ost file

Close Outlook.
On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open box, type

drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\LocaleID\scanost.exe

where LocaleID is the locale identifier (LCID) for your installation of Microsoft Office. For example, the LCID for English (United States) is 1033. For a list of LCIDs, see Microsoft Office Help.

Click OK.
Click either Scan all folders or Choose folder to scan. If you click Scan all folders, this may take several minutes.
Select the Repair errors check box.
Click Begin Scan.

Details of actions performed during the scan and repair are saved as a message in your Outlook Deleted Items folder with the subject "OST Integrity Check."

If the Offline Folder file cannot be repaired, you can disable it and create a new one.

To disable the .ost file and create a new one

On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts, click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
In the list, click Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Change.
Click More Settings.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Offline Folder File Settings.
Click Disable Offline Use.
In the File box, type the path to the file you want to use as the new .ost file. The default file name is outlook.ost. If this file name already exists, you are prompted for a new name.

Repairing a Personal Folders file (.pst)

2008-04-01T21:44:00.000-07:00

You may need to use the Inbox Repair Tool if you open your Outlook .pst file and receive this message:

Unable to expand the folder. The set of folders could not be opened. Errors could have been detected in the file drive:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst. Quit all mail-enabled applications, and then use the Inbox Repair Tool.

Note The path to the file specified in the message may vary depending upon the operating system you are using on your computer.

To repair the .pst file

On the Start menu, click Run.
In the Open box, type

drive:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\LocaleID\scanpst.exe

where LocaleID is the locale identifier (LCID) for your installation of Microsoft Office. For example, the LCID for English (United States) is 1033. For a list of LCIDs, see Microsoft Office Help.

Click OK.
In the Enter the name of the file you want to scan box, type the path and file name given in the error message above.

Note You may not be able to use the Browse button to locate this file because it is located in a hidden folder.

To change the options for logging errors during the scan, click Options. If you choose Replace log or Append to log, the log file is saved to the same directory as the .pst file.
Click Start.
When the file scan is completed, select the Make a backup of scanned file before repairing check box.
Click Repair.

If the file is successfully repaired, you will see a Repair complete message. If the Inbox Repair Tool was unable to repair the file, you will need to use a backup of your file.

To begin using your backup file as your new primary file

Start Outlook.
On the File menu, click Data File Management.
Select the .pst that is damaged, and then click Remove.
Click Add, select Personal Folders File (.pst), click OK, and then select the .pst file you want to use as the new primary file.
Click OK.

You should not rely solely on the Inbox Repair Tool for disaster recovery. A system of regular backups of your .pst file is an important part of preventing data loss. You can back up the file in several ways, including copying it to another location, backing up all of the files on your computer, or by using the Personal Folders Backup utility, available on the Microsoft Office Online site.

Hide or remove e-mail message headers

2008-03-30T22:39:00.000-07:00

When I first arrived at Microsoft (back in the last millennium), I received e-mail messages addressed to a large number of recipients. Often, I was one out of 20 to 150 recipients. The list of e-mail addresses in the To field was sometimes longer than the message itself.

At times, those messages contained information that I needed to print, and the huge list of names in the To field often consumed an additional sheet of paper. Typically, I'd find the first few lines of the message at the bottom of the first printed page and the rest of the message on the second page. I didn't like having to wade through a page of visual clutter to find the information I needed. And the waste of paper and toner annoyed me, even though we recycle virtually everything around here (including plastic cups and plates). One sheet of paper doesn't seem like much, until you think about the huge number of computers and printers out there.

Thankfully, you don't have to view or print long e-mail headers anymore. Microsoft Outlook® provides several ways to hide or to remove previous information from the From, To, Cc, and Bcc fields when you view and print messages.

A primer on headers

First, let's make sure we're all on the same page. E-mail messages contain two types of headers:

A list of the servers and Internet Protocol (IP) addresses from which a message originated and through which it traveled to reach you. Typically, the people who manage e-mail servers use that information to eliminate junk senders and to troubleshoot errors.

Note If you want to view these types of headers, first open the desired e-mail message (don't just select the message in your inbox, open it), and on the View menu, click Options. The Message Options dialog box appears. The Internet Headers field at the bottom of the dialog box displays all the IP addresses and other information. You can right-click and then cut, copy, and clear the information in that field as desired. For more information, see the topic View e-mail headers.

A common set of message fields or message headers: To, From, Cc, Bcc, and Subject.

The steps in the following sections explain how to hide the second type of headers.

Explore public folders

2008-03-25T21:38:00.000-07:00

If you use Microsoft Exchange Server, Outlook 2002 has a feature called public folders that allows groups to share information easily. Imagine you're a teacher interested in sharing tools such as lesson plans with other teachers in your school district. You may make calls and write e-mails to set up the project or to schedule meetings. You wait for responses from the other teachers and then share updates with the group. As problems come up, you send more updates and wonder if your messages have become confusing.

In the end you have to contact everyone again to make sure that they have the right information. All this before you even start sharing the lesson plans, which requires more arranging. You sure could use a way to share information in a timely, efficient manner. Public folders may be the answer.

What are public folders?

Public folders provide an effective way to collect, organize, and share information with others in your organization. They are central, shared folders that anyone can view to share information and ideas. Public folders can contain any Outlook item type, such as messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, forms, files, and posts. Once you are connected to your Exchange Server, Public Folders appear on your Outlook Folder List.

How do I set up public folders?

Public folders must be set up on a Microsoft Exchange Server. Your Exchange Server administrator must grant you owner permissions to create the public folder. Once you've created the public folder, you can set options, such as user permissions, rules, and default views. For more information, see the following Outlook 2002 Help topics:

Create a public folder
Change the default view for a public folder
Create or modify a rule for a public folder

How do I use public folders?

For detailed procedures for working with public folders, see the following Outlook 2002 Help topics:

Open a public folder
Post information in a public folder
Reply to information posted in a public folder
Add an e-mail address for a public folder to your Contacts folder

Managing Outlook Mailbox

2008-03-19T21:55:00.000-07:00

For those of us addicted to e-mail and for those who just want to communicate with Mom and Aunt Em, Microsoft Outlook provides many productivity-boosting features. However, managing the volume of messages we receive each day can be a daunting task.

But here's good news: There are several tips you can use to keep control of your mailbox. For example, you can use shortcut keys to quickly process e-mail messages. You can automatically move e-mail from certain senders out of your Inbox or delete them altogether. You can even preview messages before you open them to help you prioritize. Check out these five tips, which address (excuse the pun) how to do these tasks and more with your e-mail.

Use keyboard shortcuts

Once you discover keyboard shortcuts, you may find it tough to use your computer without them. Here are three important keyboard shortcuts that you can use to manage e-mail messages in your Outlook Inbox:

Press CTRL+D to delete the current e-mail message.
Press CTRL+R to reply to the current e-mail message.
Press CTRL+F to forward the current e-mail message.

You can also manage junk e-mail in your Outlook 2002 Inbox with the following keyboard shortcuts. If the Junk E-mail feature hasn't been enabled in Outlook, follow these steps first:

On the Tools menu, click Organize, and then click Junk E-Mail.
Set options for handling junk mail and/or adult content messages, and then click Turn on. You can now use the following shortcuts to manage your junk e-mail:

Press ALT+A, J, J to add the current e-mail message's sender to your Junk Senders List.
Press ALT+A, J, A to add the current e-mail message's sender to your Adult Content Senders List.

After running one of these commands, press CTRL+D to delete the current e-mail message.

Automatically manage incoming messages

You can set up rules to have Outlook 2002 help you manage incoming e-mail messages. For example, Outlook can:

Alert you when you receive a message from your supervisor.
Move messages that have the text "Meeting Minutes" in the Subject line to your Meetings folder.
Flag incoming messages that are from a distribution list.

To set up a rule:

On the Tools menu, click Rules Wizard.
Click New.
Click an action in the upper list.
Customize the action in the lower list.
Click Next.
Provide any additional information based on the action that you selected.
Click Finish.

Note After step 7, you will see a message: This rule is a client-only rule, and will process only when Outlook is running. This isn't an error message; it just indicates that this rule resides on your computer and is only active when Outlook is running. Server-side rules (rules that reside on a server) are active regardless of whether Outlook is currently running or not.

Streamline your frequent mailers

If you frequently send e-mail to the same person, make it easier on yourself. In Outlook, you can create a desktop shortcut that will open a blank, pre-addressed message that's all ready for you to send. Here's how:

Right-click in an empty area of your desktop, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
In the Create Shortcut dialog box, type mailto: and enter the e-mail address of your recipient, leaving no spaces.
Click Next, and then choose a name for your shortcut.
Click Finish, and a new shortcut appears on your desktop.
Double-click the icon, and Outlook opens with your recipient's address in the To field. Just compose your message and send as normal.

Clean up your mailbox

You can quickly clean up your Outlook mailbox to reduce the amount of distracting mailbox clutter. To use this feature:

On the Tools menu, click Mailbox Cleanup.
Select options to find old or large items to move or delete.
Do one of the following:

Click AutoArchive to move old items to Archive Folders.

Outlook Contact

2008-03-18T03:23:00.001-07:00

Add a last contacted date to your Outlook 2002 contacts

I occasionally use the Journal feature in Microsoft Outlook® 2002 to associate e-mail messages, meeting items, task items, and Office files with my contacts. I sometimes create individual Journal items and associate them with individual contacts as well. However, sometimes I want to quickly make a note of when I last contacted someone without taking the time to create a complete Journal item. The following steps enable you to quickly make a tick mark that notes when you last spoke with or sent e-mail to one of your Outlook contacts.

To create a macro to add a last contacted date to an Outlook 2002 contact

From inside Outlook, open the Microsoft Office Visual Basic® Editor. (On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Visual Basic Editor.)
If the Project Explorer window is not visible, on the View menu, click Project Explorer.
In the Project Explorer window, expand the folder tree to open the Microsoft Outlook Objects folder, and then double-click ThisOutlookSession.
Type the following code into the Code window (the large, blank window on the right side of the screen):
On the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Outlook.

To run the macro

Open your Outlook Contacts folder.
Select a single contact item (do not open the contact item).
On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.
Click LastContacted, and then click Run.
Click OK when the dialog box appears.
Open the selected Outlook contact item.
On the All Fields tab, in the Select from list, click User-defined fields in this item.

The Last Contacted field appears along with the date and time you ran the LastContacted macro. Be sure to run this macro at or near the time you make your call or send e-mail, so that the date and time entered by the macro are correct.

If you're willing to learn a little more about how this macro functions technically, you can modify it to create additional user-defined fields. For more information, see these resources on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN):

Recover deleted items

2008-03-12T02:28:00.001-07:00

Recover deleted items from any folder

This feature requires you to use a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account. This feature is designed for advanced users who are comfortable backing up and modifying the Microsoft Windows® Registry.

Outlook provides a way to recover items after you have permanently deleted them, including after emptying the Deleted Items folder. Your Exchange server administrator specifies the retention time for permanently deleted items on the Exchange server. After this time has elapsed, you cannot recover the deleted items.

By default, to use the Recover Deleted Items command on the Tools menu, you must be viewing the Deleted Items folder. By modifying the registry, this command is available regardless of which Outlook folder that you are viewing. You can view and recover deleted items, including those items that were permanently deleted by using SHIFT+DELETE, for the folder that you are viewing.

Note If you deleted an item and emptied the Deleted Items folder, click Deleted Items to use Recovered Deleted Items. Only items that you permanently deleted with SHIFT+DELETE or SHIFT+ are available in folders other than Deleted Items.

Caution If you use the registry editor incorrectly, you might cause serious problems that might require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using the registry editor incorrectly. Use the registry editor at your own risk.

Exit Outlook.
Open the Windows registry editor.
Browse to My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type the name DumpsterAlwaysOn.

Note Do not type any spaces in the name.

Set the DWORD value to 1.
Restart Outlook.

The Tools menu now has the Recover Deleted Items command for every Outlook folder.

OUTLOOK NOTE

2008-03-10T03:16:00.000-07:00

As you are surfing the Web or reviewing a document, you might come across some information that you want to save for a project that you are working on or for some other future reference.

You've probably noticed the Notes button in the Navigation Pane (”Navigation Pane: The column on the left side of the Outlook window that includes panes such as Shortcuts or Mail and the shortcuts or folders within each pane. Click a folder to show the items in the folder.”) It sits there lonely while you devote your attention to the Mail, Calendar, and Tasks buttons. It's time for you to get with the program and get more out of Outlook.

1. Click and drag the bar above the Mail button. You can increase or decrease the number of buttons shown by moving the bar. When you make the navigation buttons area smaller, the icons move to the button tray. The icons on the button tray can also be clicked.

2.Click Notes to view all of your Outlook Notes.

Notes are easy

You can pop up an Outlook Note anytime that you have Outlook displayed. Just press CTRL+SHIFT+N and voila, a blank note appears. If you are more of a traditionalist, in the Navigation Pane, click Notes, and then on the File menu, point to New, and then click Note.

Don't see a Notes button in the Navigation Pane? Perhaps Outlook is only showing a few large buttons, and the other icons are just below the buttons? If you drag the bar above the first button toward the top of the window, those smaller icons on the bottom will appear as big buttons in the Navigation Pane. You can also customize which buttons appear.

1. Click to change note colors, add a category, forward to someone in an e-mail message, or link to one of your contacts.

2.Click and drag to resize the note.

Notes are fun

It is a technicolor world, so yellow isn't for everyone. Change the default yellow note to another color.

Open a note, and then click the Note icon at the top of the note.
Point to Color, and then select the color of your choice.

Want to stick that note somewhere else on the screen? No problem. Move the note to another location on your screen by dragging it by the solid stripe at the top of the note.

Notes can save your clippings

Now back to clipping. Open a Microsoft Office Word document or a Web page and size the window so that it does not overlap with your Outlook Note. See something that you would like to save for future reference?

Select the text, and then drag it to your Outlook Note. When you see the mouse pointer change to a plus symbol (+), you can release the mouse button. Your text is now saved in an Outlook Note.

Note The title is derived from the first line of text in the note.

Notes are versatile

The following are some of the things you can do with your notes.

Create different folders for different notes.

In the Navigation Pane, click Notes.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Folder.
Type a name for the new folder, and then click OK.

By default the new folder is created beneath the existing Notes folder that you are viewing.

Drag notes between folders by pressing and holding the CTRL key while dragging the note between two folders.
Put the same note in multiple folders by making copies of the note.
Forward a note to someone by attaching the note to an e-mail message by right-clicking the note, and then clicking Forward.
Easily print a note by right-clicking a note, and then click Print.

Outlook Enable Login

2008-03-05T20:41:00.000-08:00

For diagnostic purposes, Outlook contains an option that turns on the logging of certain Outlook features, including the following with the release of Outlook.

Calendar modifications
Free/busy time “free/busy time: In Calendar, time status and user defined labels are indicated by colors and patterns.” changes
Reminders
Offline Address Book
Transactions for the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), which is used with Microsoft Exchange Server, Post Office Protocol (POP3) “POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.” Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) “(IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): Unlike Internet e-mail protocols such as POP3, IMAP creates folders on a server to store/organize messages for retrieval by other computers. You can read message headers only and select which messages to download.)”, Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) “(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): A common protocol that is used to send e-mail messages across the Internet.”, and LDAP “Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): A protocol that provides access to Internet Directories.”

Microsoft Services uses the diagnostic information to help identify issues. E-mail server administrators can use some of the diagnostic data to troubleshoot problems with e-mail messages.

Logging

E-mail logging

Outlook supports the logging of the communications that occur between Outlook and various types of e-mail servers. These logs can be helpful when you are troubleshooting problems with the transfer of messages between Outlook and the e-mail server. Outlook can log the communications with Exchange, POP3 version 3, SMTP, IMAP, and MSN Hotmail servers.

The logging of transports, such as POP3 and IMAP, can be read by anyone.

Calendar logging

Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1 introduced a new feature that logs Calendar transactions. Because of the new Calendar logging feature, Calendar transactions that are generated by Outlook features, by user actions, by the object model, or by the MAPI Calendar Table are written to a log file. The log file contains information for the following items:

Sniffer (Inbox autoprocessing)
Free/busy publishing
Reminders
Calendar item actions (creation, modification, or deletion)
Resource booking

The primary purpose of the Calendar logging feature is to quickly identify situations where, for example, meetings are inexplicably deleted from a Calendar folder. To help protect customer data, the Calendar log file is a binary file that cannot be read without a conversion process. You should contact Microsoft Services for additional information about this procedure.

Turn on logging

On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Other tab, click Advanced Options.
Select the Enable logging (troubleshooting) check box, and then click OK two times.
Restart Outlook.

After you restart Outlook, the words (Logging Enabled) in the title bar indicate that the logging feature is turned on. From this point, every time Outlook sends or receives messages, the communication that occurs between Outlook and the e-mail server is written to a log file. In addition, Calendar transactions that are generated by Outlook features, by user actions, by the Outlook object model, or by the MAPI Calendar Table are written to a log file. The log file contains information for the following items:

Sniffer (Inbox auto-processing)
Free/busy publishing
Reminders
Calendar item actions (creation, modification, or deletion)
Resource booking

Important It is very important that you turn off logging after you complete your troubleshooting. If you do not turn off logging, the log files continue to increase in size.

Additionally, in Outlook 2003, you can track failures in the application log by editing the registry. Use the following steps:

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK.
In Registry Editor, locate and then select the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\

On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Key.
Type CancelRPC and then press ENTER to name the key.
On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
Type EnablePerfTracking and then press ENTER to name the DWORD.
In the right pane, right-click EnablePerfTracking, and then click Modify.
In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, click Hexadecimal, and then type 1b under Value data.
Click OK.
Exit Registry Editor.

Note The following is the default location of the log files: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Temp.

Turn off logging

On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Other tab, click Advanced Options.
Clear the Enable logging (troubleshooting) check box, and then click OK two times.

Log file locations

MAPI (Exchange), POP3, and SMTP transports

On Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Windows 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Temp\Opmlog.log
On Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition, and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me): C:\Windows\Temp\Opmlog.log

IMAP transport

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Temp\Outlook Logging\name Of IMAP server\IMAP0.log, IMAP1.log, and so on.
On Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition: C:\Windows\Temp\Outlook Logging\name Of IMAP server\IMAP0.log, IMAP1.log, and so on.

Hotmail (DAV) transport

Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Local Settings\Temp\Outlook Logging\Hotmail\http0.log, http1.log, and so on
On Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Millennium Edition: C:\Windows\Temp\Outlook Logging\Hotmail\http0.log, http1.log, and so on

Notes

IMAP and Hotmail accounts generate one log for each Send/Receive action that you perform on these accounts. (The log files are named http0.log, http1.log, and so on.)
If you have multiple Hotmail accounts configured, the folders where the logs are placed are named Hotmail, Hotmail 1, Hotmail 2, and so on.
You might need to close Outlook for the logs to be written to the log file

Administrator information

Additionally, you can use the Custom Installation Wizard (CIW), the Custom Maintenance Wizard (CMW), or a system policy to deploy the setting for the logging feature. The following registry data is applied when you use these methods to deploy the setting for the logging feature:

System policy

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
Value: EnableLogging
Type: DWORD
Data: 0=disabled (default, if registry data does not exist); 1=enabled

CIW or CMW

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
Value: EnableLogging
Type: DWORD
Data: 0=disabled (default, if registry data does not exist); 1=enabled

Because of performance and security reasons, we do not recommend that you deploy the logging feature. You should turn on the Calendar logging feature only when you need it.

How to Add Password

2008-02-29T07:02:00.000-08:00

How to add Password Your Personal Folder File

Adding a password to your personal folders (.pst) file in Outlook 2000 protects the contents of your file from others who might have access to your computer or to the server location where you've stored the file. It also enables you to view the file when you've logged on using a different name.

To add a password to your personal folders file

Follow the step

If the Folder List is not displayed, on the View menu, click Folder List.
Do one of the following:

If you're using Outlook in the Internet Mail Only configuration, right-click Outlook Today - [Personal Folders], and then click Properties For Personal Folders on the shortcut menu.
If you're using Outlook in the Corporate or Workgroup configuration, right-click Personal Folders, and then click Properties For Personal Folders on the shortcut menu.

On the General tab, click Advanced.
Click Change Password.
In the New password box, type your new password. In the Verify password box, type the new password again.
Make sure that the Save this password in your password list check box is cleared. This insures that you (or anyone with access to your computer) will be prompted for the password each time you run Outlook.

The next time you start Outlook, you'll be prompted to type a password for the .pst file.

Additional considerations for securing your .pst file

Utilities that can remove or bypass the password on a .pst file are available on the Internet. These utilities are not endorsed or supported by Microsoft. To protect any sensitive e-mail stored in a .pst file from these utilities, consider taking the following additional precautions:

If you're using Outlook in the Corporate or Workgroup configuration, move all sensitive e-mail from the .pst to your mailbox on the Exchange Server.
If you need to use a .pst file that is located on a file server or in a shared directory, control which users can access the .pst file. If you're running Microsoft Windows® NT, you can use the Windows NT File System (NTFS) to enable only the owner to access the .pst file. For more information about controlling access to files, see Help for the operating system you're using.
If you use a .pst file that's located on your computer, limit access to the computer by using a password-protected screen saver, locking the computer, or locking the office where the computer is located.

Retrieve Password

2008-02-28T14:50:00.000-08:00

How to Retrieve E-mail Account Password

If you have a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) e-mail account, and you have a problem with your account password, the following dialog box appears.

You can fix the problem by doing the following:

Contact your Internet service provider (ISP) (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.), and ask the ISP to assign your account a new password. Your old password cannot be retrieved from Outlook.
Update your e-mail account settings with your new password.

· On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.

· Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.

· Click the e-mail account you want, and then click Change.

· Make sure that the settings you see match the information you received from your ISP. You have the option of having Outlook remember your password by typing it in the Password box and selecting the Remember password check box. Although this means that you won't have to type your password each time you access the account, it also means that the account is vulnerable to anyone who has access to your computer.

· To verify that your account is working, click Test Account Settings. If any information is missing or incorrect, such as your password, you are prompted to type or correct it. Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.

· If necessary, make your changes to the appropriate information. If you want to change additional settings, click More Settings. Otherwise, click Next.

· Click Finish.

Note Unless specified by your ISP, all server and address entries are typed in lowercase letters. Some ISPs require a combination of lowercase and uppercase letters for passwords to add further security, for example, passWorD. Check with your ISP to see if it requires a case-sensitive password. Use strong passwords that combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Weak passwords don't mix these elements. Strong password: Y6dh!et5. Weak password: House27. Use a strong password that you can remember so that you don't have to write it down.

Personal Folders file (.pst) Password

If you have password protected a Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.), when you try to open the .pst file in Outlook, a dialog box similar to the following appears.

Important Make sure you remember your password. Without the password, you cannot open the .pst file, and you cannot access any of the items or folders it contains. Microsoft is not able to retrieve lost file passwords.

Outlook Password Protection

2008-02-28T12:47:00.000-08:00

Password

A Password is a form of secret authentication data that is used to control access to a resource. The password is kept secret from those not allowed access, and those wishing to gain access are tested on whether or not they know the password and are granted or denied access accordingly.

The use of passwords goes back to ancient times. Sentries guarding a location would challenge for a password. They would only allow a person in if they knew the password. In modern times, passwords are used to control access to protected computer operating systems, mobile phones, cable TV decoders, automated teller machines (ATMs), etc. A typical computer user may require passwords for many purposes: logging in to computer accounts, retrieving e-mail from servers, accessing files, databases, networks, web sites, and even reading the morning newspaper online.

Despite the name, there is no need for passwords to be actual words; indeed passwords which are not actual words are harder to guess (a desirable property), but are generally harder for users to remember (an undesirable property). Note that password is often used to describe what would be more accurately called a passphrase. Passcode is sometimes taken to imply that the information used is purely numeric, such as the personal identification number (PIN) commonly used for ATM access. Passwords are generally short enough to be memorized.

Currently there is no way to password protect Outlook on startup or to lock Outlook if you need to quickly walk away from your computer other than by using your Microsoft Windows® logon password or by using third-party software written specifically to password protect Outlook. However, you can set a password on your Personal Folders file (.pst)

(Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your mputer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.). If you use an Internet e-mail account in Outlook, such as a POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.) or HTTP (HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Protocol that is used when you access Web pages from the Internet. Outlook uses HTTP as an e-mail protocol.)account, your e-mail messages are delivered to a .pst data file on your computer's local hard disk. You can use a password on your .pst file to help prevent accidental intrusion by other people whom you share your computer with.

On the Go menu, click Folder List.
Do one of the following:

If you have a POP3 e-mail account, right-click the Personal Folders folder, and then click Properties For "Personal Folders" on the shortcut menu.
If you have an HTTP e-mail account (not supported in Outlook 2000), such as MSN® Hotmail®, right-click the Hotmail folder, and then click Properties For "Hotmail" on the shortcut menu.

On the General tab, click Advanced.
Click Change Password.
In the Change Password dialog box, type your new password and verify it by typing it a second time. The password can be up to 15 characters.

Make sure that the Save this password in your password list check box is cleared. This prevents the password from being cached, and you need to type the password each time you run Outlook. Don't forget the password.
Click OK three times.

When you click the e-mail account folder, you will be prompted for your password. After you gain access, you won't have to enter the password again for that session. If you exit and then restart Outlook, you will be prompted for the password when you click the e-mail account folder.

Important: The .pst password feature is not intended to provide security against hackers. It is just a way to prevent inadvertent intrusion by other people whom you trust and share your computer with, such as at home with your family. A more secure way of protecting your data on a computer that you share with other people is to create a password-protected Windows user account for each individual using the computer.
