    Outlook 2016 follow-up flags--how can I add dates?

    In outlook 2003, I could not only flag e-mails for follow-up but assign follow-up dates. Now that I use outlook 2016, I can't seem to do this. Did Microsoft eliminate this useful feature? Or did it just make it impossible to find? Is there any way to get this feature back?

    Outlook 2016 contact issues

    I recently switched from Outlook 2003 to outlook 2016. Not entirely an improvement! 1) I tend to have only one or two contacts per company. But the Telephone List contacts format (which I prefer) adds a header for each company, which wastes a lot of space. How can I defeat this? 2) For that...

    Memory Leak in Outlook 2003

    The problem has worsened since the Win 10 Anniversary Update. At first, Outlook would not let me save calendar entries if the stub had been present when I opened the program; all other functions seemed OK. Lately, if I start the program without killing the stub, Outlook sometimes says it can't...

    Memory Leak in Outlook 2003

    Lately, Outlook 2003 has been leaving a process in memory after I close it. Currently (15 minutes after I last used Outlook), it's 46,756K. Any way to fix this?

    Cannot open or save calendar items

    I'm running Outlook 2003 under Win 7. After my monthly Win update, yesterday, I found I could not save new calendar items (error message said only "cannot save item"), could not open existing items, but could delete existing ones. Mail still works OK. (It may or may not be significant that I...

    Outlook 2003 can't send, but settings seem OK

    Solved it myself. Did a Web search for the error message and found several suggestions. I tried the simplest one, getting rid of a message stuck in my outbox, and now all is well.

    Outlook 2003 can't send, but settings seem OK

    I'm running Outlook 2003 under Win 7 Pro x64. For the last few days, I've been unable to send messages from it, getting: Task 'pop.secureserver.net - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0F) : 'The connection to the server was interrupted. If this problem continues, contact your server...

    Outlook 2003 can't open contacts.

    File, Open, Outlook Data File, shows an Accounts folder (which is empty) and "OutlookMe@mydomain.com", whose properties show it at C:\Users\Ivan\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook. But I want it to point to E:/Mail/Outlook.pst. How do I fix this?

    Outlook 2003 can't open contacts.

    I just reinstalled my OS and all software on a new drive. I also relocated my Outlook 2003 PST file from the system drive to my data drive, and told Outlook where to find it. When I check my e-mail, All seems normal, but the message list only goes back to May 2014, and it does not show a...

    Promoting Outlook 2003 User Templates

    I have a user template I need frequently. Is there any way (in Outlook 2003) I can move it to the same menu as the standard forms library rather than having to click to the Personal Forms Library?

    W-a-a-y too many PSTs (Outlook 2003)

    I've been using Outlook 2003 for about 10 years, and have migrated it once or twice to new drives with new Win versions. Last time left me with two Personal Folders and Three Archive folders. I'm about to do it again, and I've discovered I have nearly 200 PST files. I need help deciding which...

    Personal Folders Backup aftermath

    I still have this problem. To me, the solution would seem to be resetting outlook so it would no longer look for the phantom add-in ("C:\users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Addins\c:\Progra~2\Office11\addins\outbak.dll). This address is obviously erroneous, as "C:\" reappears in its...

    Change Debit to Credit in Outlook 2003?

    I can download statements as .CSV for use in Outlook. My bank lists my expenditures (such as checks and fees) as debits, my deposits as credits. But my credit cards list my expenditures as credits and my payments as debits. Is there a way to reverse the sign on all figures in a column, so I...

    Personal Folders Backup aftermath

    The first time I entered the recommended string, it opened Explorer to a folder with Extend.dat, and I deleted that, but the same problem arose when I restarted Outlook. So I did it again, and it went to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft OffCAT\en\outlook.config.xml which is very different and...

    Personal Folders Backup aftermath

    I used to use pfbackup when I was running Outlook 2003 under XP. But it's apparently not compatible with Windows 7, so I uninstalled it. Now, every time I start Outlook I'm told that "C:\users\myname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Addins\c:\Progra~2\Office11\addings\outbak.dll is not a valid...

    "Cannot create message because a data file...could not be found"

    I'm running Outlook 2003 under Windows 7 Pro x64. Since yesterday, when I attempt to send a message I get "Cannot create the e-mail message because a data file to send and receive messages could not be found." I clicked the Mail icon in Control Panel and found a Personal Folders file at...

    Duplicate folders in Outlook 2003

    I do not have three separate PST files, but three sets of Personal Folders within my one PST, or so it appears. The contents are all duplicates, near as I can tell, with the two extra Personal Folders coming at the end of the folder list. Deleting an obsolete folder from one of those deleted it...

    Outlook 2003 forms problem

    And it would be even better if I could arrange for the template to suppress my signature, as I don't use it on that form.
