  • 1. Office 2003 address book missing
    Hi, I recently had to upgrade from Outlook 2000 to 2003 for the exchange server access. I was having sync issues so I deleted the exchange server email account and upon reinstallation it did not find my address book. I have tried searching for .pst, .oab, .wab files and could only find a 3 year old copy of my .pst. Was it renamed upon deletion, can I get it back. Last note is that most of the address book with the exception of my personal friends( most important !) was transferred to the exchange server. How can I copy that book back to my home computer??? Thanks in advance.
  • 2. Outlook 2007 Only processing headers and deleting message body
    Upgrade from 2003 to 2007 Beta 2. Regardless of whether I am sending (SMTP) or receiving (POP3), Outlook 2007 is ONLY processing the message header and completely deletes the Message Body. Attachments are saved. Also when you go to the sent folder, all e-mails in that folder are also effected. Now at first, this did not happen. For the first 6 hours, it was fine. The problem seemed to start when I first accessed this machine from home using Logmein.com However, I have since completely removed that, completely removed Office 2007 and reinstalled fresh several times and the problem persists. I then tried uninstalling completely, reinstalling Office 2003. Outlook 2003 was not effected (though the e-mails did not recover their lost information) as all new emails, sent and received, go through fine. I then tried Upgrading back to Office 2007 but the problem returned. Running Windows XP Pro SP2 - completely updated, AMD X2 3800+, 2GB RAM and have about 50GB free Hard Drive space.
  • 3. Cached Names in "To" field go away
    I am migrating users from Outlook 2003 configured for POP3 to Outlook 2003 on Exchange server. They have cached names that get autofilled when they start typing in the "To" field, but they go away when I copied the original profile, then added the Exchange server, and used that new profile as the default. Is there anyway to saved these cached names so that the autofill works?
  • 4. all email from a domain to be forwarded to different mailbox
    I need to be able to create a rule that will redirect or forward all email from a certain domain to another Outlook mailbox. Ex: XXXX@XXXXX.COM should be redirected or forwarded to TEAM mailbox. So far, I haven't found a way to do this.
  • 5. how do you put an outlook shortcut into a (non-outlook) toolbar?
    I like to put shortcuts to my favorite Outlook functions (create new mail, create new appointment, create new contact, etc) into a toolbar which I keep on the side of the desktop; that way no matter what application I'm running or what's visible on my screen I can always start an Outlook operation with a single click. Every time I get a Windows upgrade or a new computer I have to set this up again. The problem is that either I forget how to do it or Microsoft changes the way it's done (or both!). So here I am again with a new machine and I can't figure out how to do this. Can someone help me? Thanks -- Jeff

How do you display sender's email address instead of name in inbox

Is there a way to have your inbox display an email sender's email address in 
the From column instead of their name.

What appears in the From field is controlled by the sender and not the 
receiver.

1."Display Name" instead of sender's address in Junkmail?

Hello,
In spam filters I can't find any way to add the "Diplay Name" of a sender to 
my junk mail folder to permanently delete it. As example. I receive 4 or 5 
pieces a day from: "Display Name" "At Home Typers" when in fact "At Home 
Typers" is only the Display Name, not the actual senders e-mail address. I 
would like to be able to have "At Home Typers" deleted everytime, regarless 
of who the sender is, but it doesn't seem possible. If there is a way around 
this it would be very helpful to know.
Thanks for your help.

2.Display real sender address as in mail headers, instead of full name from address book

Is there a way to make Outlook display the sender's name as it occurs in a
mail's FROM header, instead of looking up the address in the adress book
and displaying the full name it finds there (if it exists there)?


I'm using Outlook 2003 to retrieve mails from two sources: an Exchange
server for all 'normal' internal and internet mail, and a POP server that
receives mails that are automatically generated by software running on
machines spread across a WAN.

The software sends mails with sender addresses similar to this in the
"From" header:

	"source 1" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >
	"source 2" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >
	"source 3" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >
	"source 4" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >

The address is always my exchange address (or actually an alias for it that
was entered in my domain account properties).  Changing that is not really
an option, because the mails go to several recipients, and if someone
replies to one of them the reply should arrive in my mailbox.


Outlook always displays my full name as sender like it occurs in the
exchange address book (despite the fact that the mails don't arrive through
nor are ever stored in Exchange), which sometimes makes it hard to
determine from which machine (or application) the mail really comes.

Instead of my name, I want it to display the sender name as it is in the
mail headers, i.e. "source 1", "source 2" etc., but without forcing me to
change the actual mail address that's being used.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

3.Organize Inbox with email address instead of Display name

I have an Outlook installation that pulls two different email boxes. I want 
to color the messages according to the email box it pulled from. For example, 
 XXXX@XXXXX.COM  is Red and  XXXX@XXXXX.COM  is Green. It works ok when the 
To value is that actual email address but when it comes in as the Display 
Name of John Doe it doesn't look at the email address. The Display name John 
Doe could be either address. How do I get the rule to always look at the 
email address and ignore the Display Name field?

4.inbox emails show my name instead of sender name

When I opened outlook today, all of my inbox emails only display my name or 
the recipients name instead of the senders name, and I have to open the email 
to see who it is from.  How can I change this to display the senders name on 
my incoming mail?

5.my name appears instead of the sender's, but only in my inbox

I have Outlook 2003 and all of a sudden, any incoming email that enters my 
Inbox, displays only who the email is to (usually me) instead of who it's 
from. For example: if I receive an email from my friend Tim Highfield, in the 
Inbox column, there should be a message header which has the envelope icon 
and "Tim Highfield" next to it, with the subject underneath, and the date on 
the far right. But instead of "Tim Highfield", my name appears instead! Or 
more precisely, the name of the person Tim sent it to, namely me.

But what is equally weird is that when I move the message into another 
folder, it then does what it's supposed to do and puts Tim's name (the 
sender's name) at the top instead of mine. I've tried running the "Detect and 
Repair" feature under "Help", running the SCANPST.EXE program on the 
Outlook.pst file, and adjusted the "Arranged by" feature in Outlook every 
which way (to my knowledge); all without success. I've got the latest version 
Norton Antivirus too and have performed a full system scan, also without 
success. I'm not a novice computer user, but not a computer science graduate, 
so I figure there might be something technical I'm not aware of that's gone 
pear shaped. Just to see whether it was just Outlook, I ran Outlook Express 
and that worked fine.

Has anyone come across this problem before? What did you do about it? I'd 
greatly appreciate any suggestions not already mentioned.

Kind regards
