    I have successfully used my Outlook Contacts with my Samsung PDA for two years. This week I began using Business Contact Manager and moved some of my Contacts into the Business Contacts section. Now those contacts no longer show up when I sync my phone. The syncing appears to only read the Contacts in the main Contact file. I see no place in the syncroniztion software to tell it to read anthing other than the Contacts file. Suggestions?

Lost email during "Move to Folder"

Postby George » Sun, 23 Jan 2005 04:43:16 GMT 

In Outlook 2003 BCM, I right clicked an email dated 1/7/05, and then clicked 
the "Move to Folder" option.

Then I selected the folder "Business History" under Business Contact 
Manager.  (You can't select "Business Contacts", it says ...does not 
support...)

I picked the Business Contact to put it in...and thought it would just save 
the email under this contact name.

But it just saved the 'subject line', same as if you use Add > Business 
Note.  So, since it was a "move to", the email body seems to be gone.

Is there any way to get it back?  It's not in "deleted" because I didn't 
delete it.  Rather, all but the subject seems to have been truncated.

Thanks for any ideas, or if there's an MS person, reporting it as a sort of 
bug in BCM.

Nope, that's not how it works at all. You've lost it.

You should never move items into the Business History folder. Let BCM manage 
that folder.

1.Lost Emails Information During "Compacting" of Folders 

The machine automatically starting compacting my email folders.  Soon 
thereafter, the computer froze.  When I rebooted, some of my email files were 
completed empty.  MY inbox was partially empty (all emails up to Feb. 2004() 
were gone.  (The corresponding dbx files are also smaller).  

Given that I really need a number of these emails, my question and hope is 
that this date is still on the machine in some encrypted format?  Is there 
anyway to retrieve these messages?

Thanks.

2.Move email to directory folder then move email to another folder 

Hello everyone,
I'm pretty new to VBA, sorry.  But I need your help please.  I'm moving 
emails from a certain outlook folder "Incoming" to a directory folder 
C:\\folder name.  Then once the emails have moved, I need to move the emails 
from "Incoming" to "Loaded" but only the ones that have moved to the 
directory folder.

I have a script (see below) that will move the emails from the Incoming 
folder to the directory just fine, but the second step, to then move those 
emails to another outlook folder is not working.  It doesn't error, its just 
nothing.  I'm sure I have the syntax incorrect, but just don't know how to 
make it work.      

Sub Export_CD_Requ(MyMail As MailItem)
'Exports the email into a folder as a txt file to import delimited line into 
dB
Dim Message As Outlook.MailItem
Dim myFolder
Dim myDstFolder

Set myNameSpace = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Incoming")
'Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)
strname = Format$(Now, "yyyymmdd_hhnnssmm")

For Each Message In myInbox.Items
Message.SaveAs "C:\MailMessages\" & strname & "_" & Message.Subject & 
".txt", olTXT
Next Message

Set myInbox = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Incoming")
Set myFolder = myNameSpace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Loaded")
myFolder.MoveTo myDstFolder
End Sub

Any idea's anyone?

True Regards
Margarita

Vista upgrade 01-09-2009, using Outlook 2003. 1 complete folder totally gone.

4.Upgrade Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 - Local mail folders from Outlook 2000 lost during upgrade 

I recently upgraded a pc running Windows XP Pro from Office 2000 to Office
2003 which included upgrading Outlook.  Is there any reason that Outlook
2003 would not recognize or import Outlook 2000 local mail folders?  I seem
to remember on previous updates that it did import them as part of the
upgrade.

5.How to restore folder lost during compacting 

Hi,
I have Windows XP and OE6. Stupidly (in retrospect) I lost part of a 
folder-content when I interrupted an automatic compacting process, by 
switching off my PC.
Reading thru previous messages on this group I noted Bruce Hagen's comments 
to look for .bak files in my Recycle-bin.
Indeed the folder.bak is there. Is there a way to restore this folder to the 
original .dbx and return it to my OE6 ?
Thks for any advise.
