Outlook.pst not shrinkingI'm running Outlook 2003 on XP Pro/Media Center Ed. My
outlook.pst file was approaching 700 MB, and I wanted to
keep it small enough to fit on a CD, so I permanently
deleted a bunch of messages and archived a bunch more --
and now the file is bigger than ever! What am I missing?
Did you empty the Deleted Items Folder then compact the file? Check out
Advanced... in the File Properties.

I replaced the internal hard drive in my mac book pro. I backed up the entire Mac HD to a firewire drive before before the replacement. I have completed a fresh install of Mac OS 10.5 as well as Office 2004 on the new internal drive. How can I import my email, contacts, calender etc.. from the Office stored on the firewire drive into Office 2004 installed on my internal Mac HD?

Outlook 2003 cannot open Outlook 2000 *.pst filesOL2003 will not open/import an OL2000 *.pst file. The
error message received is "the file xxx.pst is not a

Was the pst on a CD? If so, did you remove the read-only flag?
Did you run scanpst.exe on the file?

Thanks, DH
Open both files in the same Outlook profile. Copy what you want from one to
the other.

unable to send to certain contactsHello,
Last weekend we moved out of Exchange to Google for our emails. Now
I'm having problems sending emails to certain contacts that get auto-
completed in Outlook's address bar. I'm hoping by hand-typing in the
email addresses, the people will receive the mails, but I'm not sure.
My other coworker had the same problem and we fixed it by creating a
new profile and laboriously copied over all the pst's. Is there some
fix for this?
thanks,
kobiianardo
Just delete your autocompletion cache and let it get recreated.

Yes, you have to change the hyperlings in those buttons to wherever you

.pst questionOutlook/Exchange novice here....
I have a user that has archived files to different areas
on his laptop. He wants them all to appear in his folder
list under Archive Folders. If I copy and paste them into
docs and settings\%username%\local settings\application
data\microsoft\outlook do i need to rename the files so as
not to overwrite the one archived file that is in there?
In other words, what is the proper procedure to restore
these archived files that are not where Outlook 2k sees
them so that they can be viewed in his Archive Folders
list?
Thank you

"Unable to add the server junk e-mail lists"When a user runs Outlook, he gets an error that states it is "[u]nable to add
the server junk e-mail lists, you are over the size allowed on the server."
He clicks to "Manage Lists..." but there's nothing listed, since we don't use
Outlook's Junk E-mail filtering. Sometimes he's able to click Cancel and get
through it and sometimes it locks him up. Any ideas?
Logon to OWA and look at the Junk E-mail filter settings there; how many
addresses are listed?
Up to 1024 are allowed.

Open Mail with Attachments slowWhy outlook becomes so slow when it preview or open an email with attachment
whatever the size of the attachment is. And my numer of total emails is less
than 100.The network connection is good, transfering files is fast. Instant
message is disabled. What else can I do to deal with the trouble??
Thanks a lot.
I had the same problem before, what I did is that I enable the offline
folder, and choose work offline or by default working offline when
openning, schedule automatic send/receive every 5 minutes. In that way to
open an email with attachment is really fast.
Hope this helps.

Hi Dieter,
This question has been answered over and over again in the Macintosh Word
newsgroup. Take a gander in that newsgroup for your answer.
Office does not ship with a converter because a converter has not been built
that does a good job with converting. Details are here:

How to have small attachments come opened in the main email. My w.In my web mail, any small attachments are opened in the correct place in the
