From this point on, every time Outlook sends or receives messages, the communication that takes place between Outlook and the e-mail server is written to a log file.

NOTE: It is very important to disable logging after the logs have captured the failed communication with the server. If you do not disabled logging, the logs continue to grow indefinitely.

Exchange server died.  Well, it was still running, but database corrupt.  I had switched over to a backup POP.  I was using the POP account as my default and outgoing emails were getting in the POP Outbox.  But I still had left the Exchange account in Outlook for when my Exchange server would come back up.  As soon as I moved all the emails and folders over to the POP folder and deleted the Exchange account in Outlook, this problem went away.  Of all my users, only one had this problem.

Under Tools, you might have an “out of office assistant”.  But you might get “Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.”  Especially in Outlook 2007 because the Availability Service isn’t up.  If so, then create a rule (from within Outlook) to have your mailbox automatically reply to a sender.

• In Outlook on the Tools menu, click Rules Wizard.
• When the dialog box appears click new.
• Under which type of rule do you want to create select Check messages when they arrive then click “next”.
• Under which conditions do you want to check, don’t check anything.   When you click “Next” you’ll probably get a pop-up message, “This rule will be applied to every message you receive.  Is this correct?”  Click “Yes”.
• Under what do you want to do with the message, click to select the have server reply using a specific message check box
• Under Rule Description, click the underlined phrase a specific message.

And, of course, you'll need to fix the contacts.

“program is trying to automatically send e-mail on your behalf.  Do you want to allow this?  If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose ‘No’” – work around is to put some part of the code inside Outlook so it trusts itself

In Outlook 2003, if a MAPI MailItem object is created from within the VBA project (specifically the 'ThisOutlookSession' module), it is assumed to be "Trusted" and will not prompt the usual security messages when attempting to call the .Send method or when making use of the Outlook address book.

We can use this "Trusted" method to create an exposed Outlook VBA function that creates and sends the MailItem and then call this using Automation.  In our case, we will be calling the exposed Outlook VBA function from within Access.

For this example, we've created a function called FnSendMailSafe within the ThisOutlookSession module of Outlook VBA project.  This function creates the mail object, sets the parameters and then sends it.

One problem is that when Outlook is first opened, the VBA project doesn't expose the custom VBA function unless either a VBA event has fired, or the user has manually opened the VBA IDE.  The trick used is to also create a blank event called Application_Startup() in the ThisOutlookSession module - this event will fire as soon as Outlook opens and so the VBA project will load properly and our function will be exposed.

Finally, the Outlook Macro Security level must be set to LOW or MEDIUM otherwise the custom VBA function will not be exposed through automation.
(Note: If you have changed the Macro Security level you must restart Outlook).

Furthermore, if Outlook is closed when you try to send e-mails, you will probably need to set the macro security level to LOW rather than MEDIUM, otherwise you may receive a warning about unsafe macros.

Here's the Outlook 2003 VBA code: (copy and paste into the ThisOutlookSession VBA module)

QuickParts

To create a Quick Part for Outlook 2007:

1.

2. 3.

4. Click OK.

The resulting Quick Part will be saved to the NormalEmail.dotm file, the template used by Microsoft Outlook for email messages.

If you want to edit elements in your Quick Parts gallery, you'll need to do so through Microsoft Word, since the email editor in Microsoft Outlook is technically part of Word:

1. Close Microsoft Outlook 2007.

2. Open the NormalEmail.dotm document template, which is usually in %appdata%\Microsoft\Templates.

3. Go to the Insert tab and select Quick Parts -> Building Blocks Organizer.

4. Sort by Template in the resulting display to move together everything from NormalEmail.dotm.

5. You should now be able to edit or delete the components from NormalEmail.dotm in this view.

If you attempt to open NormalEmail.dotm when Outlook 2007 is open, you'll get a warning informing you that the file is open and the option to work on a read-only copy of the document. If you do this, none of your changes will be saved back to the file.

Right-clicking the Quick Parts Gallery gives an option to "Organize and Delete." This takes you straight to the Building Blocks Organizer without the need to close Outlook and edit NormalEmail.dotm in Microsoft Word.

Random movement of cursor – see cursor moves randomly

recall email – open sent email (the "message" tab should now have the focus) → in the Move section, hover over icons until you find the More Move Options icon → select Recall This Message …. You should get an email shortly with a link to the report. When you click on the link, it will likely give a count of 0 for “Recalled” and “Failed” but 1 for “Pending” and let you refresh. Eventually, it'll resolve to one or the other after you refresh.

send and receive status keeps popping up in the middle of your work

1. View/Status Bar, make sure it’s checked

The following suggestions from a newsgroup:

2. As well as checking the "Don't display this" box, make sure the push-pin in the lower right corner of the dialog is not pushed in.

3. - delete the following key in registry and recreate it:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFFICE\10.0\OUTLOOK\PREFERENCES.

The key is a DWORD called SyncDlgSuppress and should have a value of 1

None of this worked for me on an Office 2000 upgraded to XP (SP 1&2) on 2/4/04.  I also did a "detect and repair" to no avail.  So this problem persists.

Is it an Exchange account?  Make sure the "Microsoft Exchange System Attendant" service on the Exchange server is running!  Even though it's "automatic", it often doesn't start when you start/restart the server.

send as alternate email address with Exchange – not straightforward. See discussion & 3^rd-party tools here.

sent emails going to “Inbox” instead of “Sent Items” box – Tools/Options/Preferences/E-mail options/Advanced E-mail options/unclick “In folders other than Inbox, save replies with original message”.  This normally only happens with replies, not all sent items.  Although annoying, it seems such emails actually do make their way to their intended recipients.

Service Pack 2 (SP2) problems, Outlook freezes - until update to Microsoft Outlook 2002 Service Pack 2 (SP-2) came around, only thing I've gotten to work is to create a new mail profile.  According to the newsgroups, others have tried:

renaming outcmd.dat to outcmd.old and restart outlook

scanpst.exe

detect and repair on the help menu

but none of these have ever worked for me

SMTP virtual server – IIS has a “Default SMTP Virtual Server”.  It’s not installed by default when you install IIS.  After it’s installed, right click and select properties.  On the “General” tab of tabbed dialog box that comes up, the “IP address” defaults to “All Unassigned”.  This won’t work.  Instead, select the IP address of your machine.  On the “Access” tab, click the “Relay…” button and change “Only the list below” to “All except the list below”.

sort by two columns - To do a multiple column sort of your messages in Outlook, click first on the column heading of the primary sort criteria. (Double-click if you need to switch between ascending and descending).  Now, hold down the Shift key and click on the column heading of your secondary sort criteria. (Clicking multiple times will switch the sort order back and forth).

speed up

uncheck “Get folder unread count” in Tools/Options/Mail Setup/Send/Receive/All Accounts/Edit

Symantec problem when first starting - delete C:\Documents and Settings\%Username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Extend.dat and delete the file.  Extend.dat will be recreated the next time you open Outlook, and the Exchange plug-in will be installed when the first email is opened.  See link.

“This form requires Word as your e-mail editor but Word is either busy or cannot be found. The form will be opened in the Outlook Editor instead.” error message

How I finally solved this 3/22/04: turn off all signatures.  I think there’s some sort of a bug.  See newsgroup posting.

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 319796

This may occur when the following conditions are true:

You are using Microsoft Word as your e-mail editor.-and-

You upgraded Microsoft Office from an earlier version to Microsoft Office XP.

You may also notice that there are two instances of Outlook listed in Windows Task Manager.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because some registry entries from a previous version of Office were not properly removed during the upgrade to Office XP.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, follow these steps.
NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.

Back Up Outlook Data Files (Personal Folders (.pst) File)

Edit the Registry

To remove registry entries from a previous version of Microsoft Office, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Run dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. On the File menu, click Export.
4. In the Export Registry File dialog box, under Save in, click the folder that you want to save the file in, and then in the File name box, type RegBackup.
5. Under Export range, click All, and then click Save.
6. Locate the following key:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
7. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the deletion.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the following keys:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0
9. Quit the Registry Editor.

Repair the Office Installation

To repair the Office installation, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. In Control Panel, click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In the list of currently installed programs, select Microsoft Office XP suite with FrontPage, and then click Change.
   NOTE:This label can vary depending on your version of Office XP
4. In the Microsoft Office Setup wizard, click Repair Office, and then click Next.
5. Click Detect and Repair errors in my Office installation, and then click Install.
6. Follow any on-screen instructions to complete the repair operation.
   

   NOTE: If the Outlook user profile is not present when the operation is complete, rebuild the Outlook user profile by using the original data files (.pst).

vCard, create from a contact

1. Open the contact (contact: Person, inside or outside of your organization, about whom you can save several types of information, such as street and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and Web page URLs.) you want to save as a vCard.
2. On the File menu, click Export to vCard file.
3. Type a name in the File name box, and then click Save.  Make sure you remember which directory you’re saving them to!  You’ll likely need to dig them out again soon to send them as attachments.

vpmsece.dll – “‘C:\Program Files\NavNT\vpmsece.dll’ could not be installed or loaded.  This problem may be resolved by using Detect and Repair on the Help menu.  Unable to load "C:\Program Files\NavNT\vpmsece.dll".  You may be out of memory, system resources or missing a dll.” – Explanation/Workaround: This error occurs when Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition (NAVCE) was uninstalled from your computer prior to the installation of Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition (Symantec AV).

1. extend.dat

The default installation directory for Symantec AV 8.0 is:

C:\Program Files\Symantec Client Security\Symantec Antivirus\

However, Outlook is looking for Vpmsece.dll in the original NAVCE location:

C:\Program Files\NavNT\

To solve the problem, search your computer for Extend.dat and delete this file. Extend.dat will be recreated the next time you open Outlook and Microsoft Exchange realtime protection will be installed when the first email is opened.

2. Tools > Options > Other > Advanced Options >Add-in Manager, uncheck "LDVP"

I’ve used this when I can’t find “extend.dat” on the hard drive.
