    fonts suddenly bigger by 2x

    I have my Outlook 2010 fonts set to Verdana 10. Suddenly today on composing a new msg or forwarding a msg, the font (still Verdana) is perhaps 2 font sizes larger. Checking the Format tab in create or forward mode shows Verdana/10 still set as default. If I manually reduce the fonts (-2x I...

    Outlook and Win8 and Pop3

    I think he did just that. He assumed since the MS email pgm did not support pop, he could not use it all. he switched to IMAP, so got it working with Outlook. Thanks.

    Help- Corrupt oversize PST. Tried everything.

    Too late, old acct gone. I figured out why it was still getting email. Now I understand how Outlook can receive email from multiple sources/accounts (Yahoo, Gmail, etc...). I was getting the same email twice from Att/Yahoo since both profiles had same email addr. I changed the old one to...

Problem is my old structure with inbox is still there and still receiving email. That is, new email loades to BOTH inboxes. the new one is set as...

    Should I switch to IMAP?

    I'm trying to decide if I should switch to IMAP to solve the issue of old format vs new (2010) pst file format. I just got bit by the limited file size with the old format. I know with 2010 I can create a new profile and it will create a new pst for me (in the new format) and I can then import...

    Help- Corrupt oversize PST. Tried everything.

    Thanks, for the info on importing to a new pst. I have the old ansi format (but in a relatively new profile in Outlook 2010. No idea how that happened) and found a way to repairit but forget what I did last week (gone fishing for 4 days, so my brain did a reset). I'll create a new profile and...

    Outlook 2010 stalls on waking from sleep

    I've just recently started putting my PC to sleep at night vs a full shutdown. I find that on waking, it comes up fine and Outlook displays whatever window(s) I'd expect, but the first time I click anything in Outlook like the last email read, or open an existing received email, compose an...

    intermittent "Your imap server closed the connection" messages

    I always save passwords and upped the time out to max of 10 min, but still get msg. Of course she leaves laptop idle for more than 10 min, so Don't understand what that timeout really means. If you could set it to, say, 10 hrs, it would make more sense, to me anyway. Did not do this (below)...

    intermittent "Your imap server closed the connection" messages

    I tried to investigate this error with other postings on this forum, but none yielded useful info, so an trying a new post. The config is Win7 on a 3 yr old Dell laptop, using IMAP on Outlook 2010 with iCloud and iTunes for iPad syncing. Since moving to IMAP from POP3, we are getting several...

    can't print some retail discount coupons

    Can you think of any reason Outlook 2010 would fail to print over network? Used to work. The printer twitches, but no print and nothing in print queue. Started with balking at coupons, now no print at all. Can print with direct connect to printer and Word and other apps print over network. Did a...

    Can't print from Outlook on wifi network

    I have a problem printing from Outlook 2010 on a Dell laptop (win7) over a Wi-Fi network. The HP J5750 printer is USB to a tower PC (Win7) and I can print just fine from the tower or laptop if it’s a Word or Excel doc and the tower prints from Outlook. However, Outlook won’t print from the...

    can't print some retail discount coupons

    I'll have to go back and try a fwd. My original post was in error on one point. My logic was inverted in the Outlook setting to trust center setting "Don't allow.... to download....". it was originally set to allow (correct setting) then I set to "disallow" while in an apparent confused state...

    My Outlook 2010 contacts list was hijacked!

    I think I've seen same thing with ATT/Yahoo email and Outlook 2007 then 2010. For me, these things either go away on their own within days, or clear up if I change passwords again on Yahoo. Of course you updated the password in your Outlook email account, right? that sounds like a no-brainer...

    can't print some retail discount coupons

    PS: just remembered that on printing with ctrl/P, the printing hangs on the "connecting to printer" process. it never connects. that is Outlook hangs as non responsive and needs to be killed/restarted. This happens same way on both laptop and tower, HOWEVER, the tower will print via the...

    My wife gets a lot of retail coupons for half off discounts, etc. These of course need to be printed. One in particular from Macy’s has some images that refuse to download. See attached jpg. Outlook 2010 is set to allow all images as is Yahoo.com mail. I cannot print this email wireless from...
