question re: re-enabling cached exchange mode

I've scanned this group for posts regarding cached exchange mode and OST files, but haven't found the information I need. I need to know the impact of re-enabling cached exchange mode and NOT removing any old OST files. Scenario: User works with Outlook (2003 or 2007) in cached exchange mode for a period of time. Then, for whatever reason, cached exchange mode is disabled. The OST file is NOT deleted or renamed. After some time (months maybe), cached exchange mode is turned back ON. The user's profile in Outlook has not changed, nor has there been any change on the Exchange

Looking for good email program?

Hi forum members, This is the first time I've posted at this forum, and probably the best place for me to start to look for answers to my qustions.

With Microsoft, it appears I have two choices, Outlook, or Outlook Express. Up front I'm stating, not interested in all the bells and whistles that may or may not be added on to what I'm looking for in an excellent email program, I.E. calendar, scheduling, and wha

Using Windows XP and Office 2007 I have just added a number of items to my Outlook 2007 calendar and realize I forgot to set the recurrence pattern on the individual events.

Or do I have to open each individual event and set the recurrence individually?

Need to custom identify incoming outlook messages and keep this identifier when user replies

I need to map an incoming message with the replying outgoing messages using a custom identifier. The incoming message should be built including this custom identifier and sent to the end user in outlook. We could add this identifier as part of the e-mail subject, but prefer to add it somewhere that the end user cannot edit. When the end user replies to the message, it is important that this custom identifier is included in the reply message, just as it would if we included it in the subject field.

Vanishing emails

I have used Outlook for several years without a problem. I have now moved to Windows 7 64-bit and find that my older emails are randomly disappearing i.e. sometimes everything more that a few days old will vanish and other times it will let me keep them for several weeks. As far as I can tell every instance of 'Archive' is switched off. I have also been unable to track down the missing emails. For the time being I have changed over to WLM but do not like it for many reasons, one being that I miss the calendar reminders down the side of my screen and a Hotmail reminder is of no u

I sometimes mention a web address or email address in the messages I send.

However, when the recipient of such a message replies with my original message quoted, I will sometimes (but not always) see that these "clickable" references in my original have changed this way: please look at www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com > The mysteriously "added" entry within

Can't delete email in Outlook

I've checked this newsgroup and find nothing related to deleting email messages in Outlook. I also did a search and found confusing info that didn't seem to address the problem. I use Outlook Express so I'm not familiar with the difference using Outlook. My Son called and said he is unable to delete any messages using Outlook. Someone suggested rebuilding the .pst file using scanpst.exe and scanost.exe but we can't find the location of these files. It said they were in the Office folder but we can't find either file. Hope someone can help.. Thanks

Any advice on what to use to handle hundreds of nested distibution lists pls?

Hello, We're migration from a third-party mailsystem to Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003. In the old system, one departmental mailbox had hundreds of large distribution lists, many of which were made-up of several smaller distribution lists. The main use of the mailbox is to receive news-alerts and distribute them to the various lists depending on the topic. Nothing to do with email marketing campaigns, it's a govt environment. Because of the limits on the number of members of a distribution list in Outlook 2003, we've had to migrate the distribution lists to categories. This is

screen disappears

Hi - I have a 2000 iMac OS 9.2 ( which my friend gave me about 6 yrs. ago) and Outlook Express 5 is my mail manager. I am on a dial-up system to get my email.

I have had to go to the server's email on the server's webmail - this is very inconvenient and I cannot

It only updates the status on the PST calendar. (I think if I accept/decline the meeting directly on the Exchange calendar, it works; it only fails when I accept/decline from PST inbox).

Changed Outlook Behaviror--How to Change Back?

Somehow, I changed Outlook so that two things are not as they were: 1. The keystrokes for "Send," <Ctrl>-<Enter>, no longer work. Nothing happens (I suspect it was a change I made in Word to make it a little more like WordPerfect, but I dunno); and, 2. The keystrokes for "Macro Run," <Alt>-<F8," bring up something related to Help, instead of running a macro. Obviously, it's a newby mistake, and I'll take that. But does anyone know what I did, and how to reverse it? Thanks. Don.
