2.Fix: OL2003 - Unable to open default email folders

An interesting issue where one user logged into OWA on another user's system and
hosed up the original user's Outlook Client.

Problem:

USER1 gets message "Unable to open your default e-mail folders. You do not have
permission to log on."

Cause:

USER2 used USER1's PC (logged in as USER1) to access email via OWA.

Resolution:

USER1 logged into OWA with his credentials.  Next attempt to open OL2003 was
successful.

OS: WinXPPro
OL: 2003

Since this seems to be a common message I thought I'd post one solution.

3.Default Save Folder- Fix?

On Monday of this week I downloaded and installed a slew of Updates to IE6
and OE6 via Microsoft Update.  I run Windows XP Home edition.

I had the same Problem as so others with saving the last folder that I had
saved picture attachments.

This evening I removed one of the updates and the Folder Save to "Last
Folder Used"  is back to normal.

The Update I removed was 330994.

Subsequent my OE version number is now 6.00 2800.1106 (xpsp1.020828-1920).

I'm not sure what I did but it certainly solved that problem.

I've found the solution by a lot of trial and error.
When I changed the registry keys (see below) from "C:\" to "C:\*.*"   I
noticed that if I ran OE direct from Start > Programs, on each new OE
session, the "Look in:" box displayed "My Documents". However, if I
called OE from Mailwasher or from OE Quotefix, the "Look In:" box then
displayed the folder of that calling application. In every case,
regardless of which folder appeared in the "Look in:" box, the folders
and files on C:\ were displayed in the main box (which is what I want).

On the shortcut properties for OE, Mailwasher & OE Quotefix, I changed
the "Start in" value to "C:\" and now OE always displays C:\  in the
"Look in:" box with the required folders and files displayed in the box
underneath. I am now feeling quite happy and may well treat myself to a
beer!

5.When searching this type of folder, you can't search other folders at the same time

Hi,

I have a user that is trying to use Advanced Find to search another users 
mail box for and e-mail in Outlook 2000 Sp3.
When the user selects the browse button to select more than one directory to 
search, the following error message appears "When searching this type of 
folder, you can't search other folders at the same time".
Also, if a top directory is selected, Advanced Find does not do a recursive 
search, but only searches the selected directory.
The user has the owner role assigned to the folders in question, so I don't 
think that's it to do with permissions...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
