1.need help changing Store Folder to network share
I have WinME running in Virtual PC on an XP machine. I'd like to have both
instances of OE share a single Message Store Folder. From what I gather, the
only connection between Guest and Host OS is though a network share. For
example, if I want to copy or move files from WinME to XP, I just drag them
to the appropriate XP folder via network share.
If someone has experience with setting up a common OE Store Folder over a
network, I'd appreciate your help because it's not working as expected.
Here's what I did:
I created a network share for the XP/OE Store Folder and then changed the
WinME Store Folder to point to it. Although the WinME OE seems happy with the
network Store Folder, my existing messages and folders don't show up. With
all OE's quirks, this didn't surprise me and I figure there's probably a
simple fix.
To troubleshoot, I created a new folder "test" in the WinME OE and put a
message in the folder. For reasons I can't fathom, text.dbx doesn't show up
in the XP Store Folder. I searched both drives for test.dbx and it doesn't
seem to exist anywhere!! Explorer Search is set to find hidden files, and I
even un-hid the folders just to make sure.
Further testing showed I can assign the Store Folder to a location on the
virtual machine and all the .dbx files are visible in the new location
including text.dbx. But when I change the Store Folder back to the XP Store
Folder via network share, test.dbx remains invisible.
I know a common Store Folder can be implemented in a dual-boot scenario, but
in that case, a network share is not required. So I'm not sure if my problem
is related to using a network share, or somehow related to how virtual
machines work.
Can anyone explain this behavior, or otherwise tell me how to use a common
Store Folder for both machines?
Thanks

3.Need help from Outlook developer - where is NormalEmail.dotm store
I'm so frustrated now...
It's actually the second time this happens:
I create a lot of "Quick Parts" which is supposed to be saved in
NormalEmail.dotm. Everything looks good, and the templates are in my gallery.
THEN OUTLOOK CRASHES, because of a stupid add-in i have.
When outlook is restarted, all of the Quick Parts i added ARE GONE!?
1. Obviously the quick parts are not saved to the NormalEmail.dotm file
before outlook is closed or something. So where are they in the mean time? In
RAM?
2. Are there any way i can recover these now? If they are stored in a
temporary file it should be possible even though the file is deleted with
some file recovery app.
This is the second time i have lost all quick parts i created - just when i
was finished creating them... :-(
4.I need help making contact folders, please help!
I have used outlook express since 1997. Last week I switched to outlook. I
have over 1200 contacts and in oe I was able to organize my contacts into
groups. (for instance i had all the contacts in my home state in one folder)
I was able to import my oe address book into outlook but I dont know how to
organize the address book into group folders. I have posted this question on
several newsgroups but I am afraid I've lost track of where they are posted.
If someone can help me wade through the steps to do this and could email me,
I would appreciate it. my hotmail addy is livinliberty; or email me here;
XXXX@XXXXX.COM I REALLY appreciate the help; WC
5.Newbie: Need to read emails that are stored in a folder w/ VBA
Hi,
Copy and paste the following function directly into MS Outlook VB
Module.
Function ReadItemsInFolder()
Dim olNms As NameSpace
Dim olFdr As MAPIFolder
Dim olMItem As MailItem
Dim obj As Object
Dim strBody As String
Set olNms = GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set olFdr = olNms.PickFolder
For Each obj In olFdr.Items
'Folders can contain many different item types so you need to
assign each item to
'a generic object then check the class for the item(s) you want
If obj.Class = olMail Then 'Picks only the mail items
Set olMItem = obj
strBody = olMItem.Body
'strBody now contains the message body text. Parse this
variable into your other source (csv, access etc)
End If
Next
Set olMItem = Nothing
Set obj = Nothing
Set olFdr = Nothing
Set olNms = Nothing
End Function
If the VB module is in MS Access, you should:
- Add the Outlook Libarary as a reference
- Precede each Outlook object with Outlook. in the declaration section
and
- Create an Application object
For instance, replace the appropriate lines in the above function with
the following:
Dim olApp as New Outlook.Application 'New line
Dim olNms As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim olFdr As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olMItem as Outlook.MailItem
Set olNms = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Good luck!
