  • 1. Renaming inbox and recycle bin
    Ages ago a friend renamed the inbox on my pc by changing something within the registry. This has remained changed ever since. How can this be changed back? The Recycle Bin also needs renaming? I believe that it is part of the PST file and it is outlook and not outlook express. Help
  • 2. Auto-retrieve Emails
    I have the box checked in Outlook 2003 to automatically retrieve my emails every 15 minutes. It doesn't perform the task, though. My prior version of Outlook did it just fine, chiming to let me know that I had new emails What am I doing wrong?? (I'm on a DSL connection so constantly connected to the internet.)

  • 4. delete apointment
    I have tried many ways that were suggested in deleting the corrupt appointment. I am unable to keep OL2000 running long enough to do this. It has to be restarted w/ CTL+ALT+DEL. Is there way to delete "EVERYTHING" in Calendar ?? i.e. a File or in reg edit ?? OL2000 v. 9.0.0.662 Win98 SE v. 4.10.2222 Thank You Fran
  • 5. Send won't send immediately (Outlook 2002 SP3)
    I've seen various posts related to emails stuck in the outbox, but none related to this: When I hit the send button in my user account my email immediately goes off into the ether. When my spouse hits send in her account the email goes into the outbox and doesn't send until: 1) she push send/receive, or 2) the automatic send/receive every X minutes kicks in. We each have our own user account in XPpro and I've gone through every option I can find and our setting appear to be exactly the same. She's got POP3 and I've got the evil MSN http mail. My recollection was that her's used to send just like mine, but some upgrade along the way changed things. Ideas? Post or email me. ericm

I looked at the MS KB article a bit more closely and I found the "File 
Types" entry that they mention for URL:MailTo.  It was already correct, 
and pointing to Outlook.exe from the Office12 directory.  I switched 
from Outlook to OE and back to Outlook again as they suggested and in 
each case, mailto links still hang my system.

Seems like it's a known issue, just that the suggested solution isn't 
working out for me.  Anybody have any other suggestions?  I'm about to 
fire up processmon to see what's happening.

Still no luck resolving this issue.  However, I found that another user 
on this machine does *not* have this problem with mailto links, so it's 
something in my user settings only.

Is there a way to reset my Outlook settings?

3.Error when I click on mailto: links

Greetings,

I get an error message when I click on any links that use the mailto:
code.  Here's the error:
Title: Problem with Shortcut
Text: The amil program was unable to send mail.

I use Windows 98 and Office XP.  I use Outlook XP, not Outlook Express
as my default mail app.

I have ensured that Outlook XP is my default e-mail program.
I have also made sure that under Internet Options--> Application, it
says that Outlook is my mail program.

Anything else I can do?

5.Error message when clicking mailto: link

I have a problem with Outlook 2003.  I use Excel to keep student rolls and 
have created a mailto: link with each student's email address in Excel.  When 
I click the mailto: link Outlook starts to open up , but then I get a message 
that says, "The object could not be found."  I cannot get mailto: links to 
work in IE either.  Same problem.  I am running XP Pro SP2 and Office 2003.  
I have tried the fix in the KB of going into folder options and making sure 
the mailto link actions are correct.  They are, and it still doesn't work.  
Have also tried to go into internet options, and switch default mail handler 
to another and back.  Still not working.

Any ideas?  I'm about ready to unistall and reinstall Office, but would like 
to find another option if anyone has a better solution.
