    Maintain Distribution List

    Yes I'm using POP3. If I look at my account settings it states "POP/SMTP" By support for DL I was not clear. If I create a DL and then if one of my contacts changes his email, I change the email in the contact entry this does not change it in the DL. To my knowledge there is no automatic method...

    Maintain Distribution List

    I have Office 2013 x32 installed on my Win8.1 X64 system and have used Outlook (with POP account support) since it became available. IMHO one of the major short comings of Outlook is the lack of support for distribution list. I've attempted to use categorizes either I'm using it incorrectly or...

    Default Contacts folder

    This one of the things I tried without success. I just gave it another try and no success. I changed to Public, closed/reopened outlook, (the window was not resized as it should have been) clicked on People (Outlook 2013 x32), the wrong folder was selected. I changed it back to Private...

    Default Contacts folder

    Yes I did restart Outlook I'm still having an issue getting the macro to run at startup. I'm working on my desktop mainly because it is much faster than my other systems. I found one of your videos at http://www.slipstick.com/developer/how-to-use-outlooks-vba-editor/ (super) and I've watched it...

    Default Contacts folder

    I think I'm doing something wrong but I'm lost as to what. On my desktop which is the master for CodeTwo folders I have two folders under My Contacts, e.g. Contacts and PM Contacts. I created the macro and attempted to default clicking on People to bring up the PM Contacts. No matter what...

    Default Contacts folder

    I think I found one of my errors but still no brass ring. In the following Set objGroup = objModule.NavigationGroups("My Contacts") The NavigationGroups really should be "My Contacts" It just hit me that the item is the group name and not the Folder name. However still no brass ring. In that...

    Default Contacts folder

    Also on my wife's system when I have the VBA editor open and click the Run button I get prompted for the macro name. On this PC I have Win8.1 x64, Office 2013 x32.

    Default Contacts folder

    Quick update - On my wife's system the "My Contacts" is the root level and under that I have "John Contacts" and "Contacts". Originally outlook was not displaying the root level. However when I close/reopen Outlook it does not default to "John Contacts" - see the following KMT Outlook 01.png image

    Default Contacts folder

    I've made some progress but still I cannot capture the brass ring. DARN! In order to see ThisOutlookSession I must click on the Project Explorer icon or press Ctrl+R . I then double-clicked on ThisOutlookSession and a window opened on the right side. I then pasted the code into the window and...

    Default Contacts folder

    I agree I do NOT want to start with a folder other than the inbox. Once Outlook is opened I what to be able to click on the icons in the nav pane to bounce between the mail, contacts and calendar (currently this is all that we use). I have no idea what the heck I'm doing wrong but I cannot get...

    Default Contacts folder

    One of the suggested solutions I tried was at https://support.appriver.com/kb/a131/changing-your-default-contact-list-in-outlook.aspx I saw this as a suggestion in several different websites but this does not work to set the contacts folder that is opened by default. I do have "John's Contacts"...

    Default Contacts folder

    I have three PCs where I'm syncing the calendar and contacts using CodeTwo Public Folders (see http://www.codetwo.com/public-folders/). On the two client systems when I open Outlook (2010 and 2013) and click on the Calendar I automatically open the shared Calendar (this is what I want) but when...

    Constantly freezing Outlook 2010

    Also try running ScanPST.EXE , on my system it is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15. Most likely you need to run it a number of times. You want to run it until it does not find any errors. I've had to run it as many as 8 times to get error free.

    How do I back up outlook

    As Diane suggest there are tons of backup utilities. I have used SyncBackPro (see http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/sbpro-features.html) for years and have been VERY pleased with it. I use it to perform numerous scheduled backups on a daily basis. They also have a free version (less bells...

    date file management

    I forgot to mention, with CodeTwo Public Folders there is an Android/Apple app (CodeTwo Public Folders) that will sync my phone. As of this date I've not installed it but plan to do so in the very near future.
