phone to non-exchange contacts/calendar sync

I've used Outlook (non-exchange) since it was new and am using 2007 now. I simply do not want to change :) I'd like to find a process wherein I can sync my phone with OL without the wire. I have a gmail account and have looked at the premium (with their sync) subscription, but wondered if this is the a good way to go. I understand that MS is with hotmail and that this may work better, but I don't like change :) Any suggestions or comments? TIA

change mail format for contacts

For the iphone, attachments come over as winmail.dat and the solution is to change the mail format in options, mail format to HTML. Also the individual contacts needs to be changed by double clicking the email address and changing the internet format to Send Plain Text only. After these changes are made, the attachments come over fine. I have had problems with this issue with some contact before. I would love to be able to make this change globally instead of having to edit all contacts. Can this be done.

How do I import my address book from my POP 3 Juno account?

I'm hoping to import my address book from my juno email on the web account to Outlook, and then to export it to my new Hotmail account. I seem to be botching it badly, so far. I was able to save my list to 'Recent Documents'. My efforts to COPY and Paste as an individual 'New Contact' result in partial information and the email address, phone number, etc. are missing. Are there step-by-step instructions to accomplish what should be a relatively easy task? Also, it looks as though Outlook has stripped all of my mail from my juno account. How do I send it back, or to the new h

Address Fields Displaying incorrectly

I've imported a series of address from a CSV file and mapped all the fields correctly (I think) and i have 2 questions Q1 The problem I have is that in business card view the addresses don't display correctly. They seem to be ok if you open the contact but don't initially display how I want them (or like the others already in the contacts folder). To illustrate the problem I've attached an incorrect and correct view of how I want the address information to be displayed. Q2 The email address comes in ok but I want the display name to be "FirstName LastName (EmailAddress)"

How to remove contacts when email changes

Outlook 2003 If I receive an email from a sender not on my list, that sender's email address is not automatically added to my contacts but will appear on the automated list when I enter the first letter of the sender's email address. If that sender changes email address I cannot delete the old email address. Instead I am left with two email addresses for that sender both of which will appear on the automated list. How can I remove the old email address?

Contacts Button

In Office 2003 Outlook when creating or editing a contact, there was a button in the lower left called Contacts to link one or more contacts to each other. When I converted to Office 2007, the button went away, there is a field called Contacts in the frequently-used fields under Show => Show All Fields. It shows my previous contact to contact links but will not let me up date the field. In another conversation, someone said to have the contact field in 2007, you have to create the field (which is already ready created but not update-able). How do I create the same function

jumbled overlapping text when adding categories in Outlook 2007

Hi, I have Outlook 2007 with BCM (I don't use the BCM feature) and whenever I try to add a new category, the text I enter completely overlaps to the point I can't read it. If I continue to type anyway and hit "OK" the category comes out correctly and has been added, but the garbled text is annoying and it is difficult to see if I have made a typo until too late. This problem is now spreading to other standard Outlook forms where I type in information. The consistent thing when I have this problem seems to be when Outlook opens a new pop-up window to add information. Can

Distribution lists won't expand?

Beginning two days ago, local distribution lists on one of our workstations no longer expand into individual emails. By this I mean there is no longer a '+' beside the list in the "To:" field. Also, the server rejects the email with the following message: The following recipient(s) could not be reached: '1st Year Candidates 2009' on 2/26/2010 12:39 PM 501 <1st Year Candidates 2009>: "@" or "." expected after "1st" I can open these lists and view each of the individual contacts, update them and edit the list. These contacts reside in the same local address

Categorizing Contacts

I’m an Outlook newbie. I’m in the process of switching to Outlook and I need some advice on how to best handle a couple of things on my Contacts list. I previously used two separate programs: one for email and another for name/address/phone. Each program had its own contact list. Despite the duplication I found that having two separate contact lists was useful because the way I categorize people for email is different from the way I categorize them for name/address/phone. Since Outlook 2007 has one master list of contacts I need some advice on how to best set things up so

Contacts format

I have recently started using Outlook and have imported some 500 names and e-mail addresses from a .csv file from my old PC. They have all been imported correctly but the "Display as.." field automatically repeats the e-mail address.

Trouble printing the notes section of a contact

I have Outlook 2007, but had this same trouble with previous versions. The text box give you a huge amt. of space to enter info in the "notes" section of a contact, but only some of that text prints out on a hard copy if I have entered more than a few lines of text. I don't even mean full lines going across the whole text box. Even 5-10 lines of a list or a few extra addresses or telephone #s can be too much text to show up on a hard copy. Yet the text box allows for 10 times that much to be entered. There also doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what prints out &

Distribution Lists do not expand in Outlook 2003

As of today, the distribution lists on one of our workstations do not expand within the "To" field. There is no longer a '+' beside any of them. They are also rejected by the SMTP server with the following message: 501 <1st Year Candidates 2009>: "@" or "." expected after "1st" These same lists worked fine just yesterday. I have "Detected and Repaired" to no avail. I assume there is some problem with extracting the individual addresses from the list, but do not know how to proceed. Any ideas? Thanks.

How to restore Auto-Fill with e-mail address

Yes, for some reason, all of my e-mail addresses do not come up anymore when I try to send a new e-mail.
