Outlook not removing deleted messages from server

I have a gmail account and Outlook 2007 is configured to leave the messages on the POP3 server, but to remove the messages from the server when deleted from the "deleted items" folder. So, I downloaded all of my email (approx 17,000 messages), deleted some messages I don't want any more and emptied the "deleted items" folder, but the messages are not removed from the server. I've tried it several times in several different ways, always with the same result. I can delete the local copy on my PC, but the server copy is never removed.

Automate From Field

Hi all I posted this last week but it seems MS deleted a load of its forums, including the VBA one I'd posted to :-(. So here goes again... From MS Access 2003, I have a routine in code that automates an email. I can autofill the To, cc, subject, body field etc but now I need to also send from a different user using the 'From' field. I tried adding this in the same way to my code using: .from but it seems this is not a supported method? I receive and Access error 438: Object does not support this property of method. Please can any one tell me if this is possible and i

Confirm File Replace when copying mails to network drive?

Is there a "trick" to overcome the problem that arises when copying a mail to a network drive that has the same name as an existing mail already in the drive? I save useful mails onto my network rather than only in Outlook archives, but as each project has the same name I very often get the "Confirm File Replace" messge that says "this folder already contains a file named xyx. Would you like to replace the existing file with this one?" As these are two separate and different mails, I actually need to keep both! It seems that if all mails are saved to the network at the same

Miscellaneous Questions for Outlook Gurus

Will be impressed if anyone can get all of these. I'm using Outlook 2007 (in Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Parallels)... 1) It seems that e-mail search presents two options, "current folder" and "all folders." Is there a way to search/select "current folder and all subfolders"? 2) Often times when I switch from Mail to Calendar or Mail to Contacts, and then switch back to Mail, I find that some of my e-mail account groups have been collapsed. This seems to happen for no apparent reason and gets rather frustrating. It's an issue I had with Outlook 2003, as well. Any sol

Merge Contacts

I have an Access file that has over 500 contacts in it. Several times a year, I want to send this information to multiple users across the nation. They already have these contacts in Outlook. What I'm looking to do is find a way that they can override the existing contact with the new contact information. There is already a duplicate contact finder in Outlook, but that uses the "File As" field as the comparison. My issue with that is the names often change (married so last name changes, death of spouse, etc.). Things I'm looking for as options: 1) VBA code or macro that would com

"find" is permenantly highlighted in the standard bar

When I open Outlook the "find" is orange and I can't reply to email and if I do click on "reply" then Outlook hangs. I can do pretty much anything else. I don't know what else to try. I have scanned for viruses. I have used the restore point back to when I did not have this problem. I have used my office 2003 disk to repair. (I am a bit wary about a complete new install because I don't want to loose folders and previous email.) PS why did my earlier post get removed. I know I saw it. But when I returned I can't seem to find it. Even when I used the key word "find". Did I do som
