I have started getting informational messages from various groups where the sender address looks something like this: I think these are coming from mailing services like Mail Chimp. This makes it very difficult to make a rule to redirect these messages. Sometimes the real domain of the sender...

Yes, of course. I meant starting Windows in Safe mode causes problems for Windows. I didn't mean that Outlook's Safe mode would cause problems for anything but Outlook, which already has enough of its own problems. I guess I should have been more specific. It seems to me that I have run into...

OK. So I'll have to close it, wait the 30 seconds for it to actually close, then reopen it in Safe mode, then try to close it again, right? In the past, there have been adverse side-effects to Safe mode. At least with Windows, the desktop gets all screwed up. Is there anything like that with...

I disabled the Change Notifier as you suggested. It does not seem to have caused anything else to break, but it also did not fix the problem. I have not tested it in Safe Mode. What will that tell me? What should I be looking for?

What else is that Add-in used for? What is, what possible other side effects could there be? How is this Add-in related to the exit error problem? Thanks

I've attached the dialog showing which Add-ins are installed. As far as I know, none of these are new. The LexisNexis Add-in was installed 7-8 years ago. I'll see if I can remember to try setting it offline the next time it happens, but that would be about as inconvenient as just waiting 30...

My tired old XP computer periodically forgets how to connect to the Internet. To fix it, I have to reboot. To do that, I have to shut down all applications. Sometimes, Outlook has messages which it couldn't send because of the lack of an Internet connection. When I close Outlook, I get a pop-up...

Well, that depends on how wide the viewing window is. If I squish it down to under about 3 inches, then the From: line will split onto 2+ lines, but in my normal width, it's all on one line.

Yes, the text in the From: string is exactly as I posted, complete with the brackets and no quotes. From: City of Santo Diablo [news@newsletter.sdmailer.com] From: City of Santo Diablo [cityofsantodiablo@service.govdelivery.com] I tried the string as is and with both single and double quotes...

I get a lot of email from various organizations. Some of them apparently use some sort or email service so that the messages do not come from the organization's domain. Here's one example from the city where I live. The emails have one of these two strings in the From: field: City of Santo...

Yes, I know that's what it is supposed to do. It isn't doing that. It was due on 2/14/14. On 5/25/14, I marked it complete (100%). The new due date was set to 6/09/14, not 5/27/14.

I ran into one little glitch. I can't figure out how to get the search (find) to search the folder names in addition to the subject line and the body text. Is there a way to do that?

I have several tasks that used to have "attachments", at least I guess that's what they were. I tried to paste hyperlinks to folders or documents. Outlook mostly complained and disabled them. Now I have a number of these tasks that generate an error message ("This item contains attachments that...

I've been using recurring tasks for many years. Sometime in the past year or two, I've started having an odd result for tasks with the recurrence set to regenerate nn days after the task is completed. I have one right now that is misbehaving. Here are the current settings: Start date: 5/27/14...

Wow. That works great. Thanks so much for that tip. It's even better than a macro. You are a wizard!!! :)

We will be upgrading out computers soon and will get the latest office. In the meantime, CS+F wor4ks. Thanks for that. Only one problem: I get a list showing only the sub-folder. It does not show the entire path or even the parent folder. Once I get the results, is there any way for me to see...

Is there any way to search an email folder and all of its sub-folders? If I enter a search string, it will search the selected folder. If that fails, it will offer me the option to search all folders. I would like to search just the selected folder and all of its sub-folders. I store emails...

The export function seems to apply only to folders. I would like to export selected emails within a folder. Is there a way to do that? There is no "rule" or "filter" I can use to select them. I would like to be able to click-select them and then say "export the selected messages". I guess...

Diane, I tried to follow those instructions several different times. I can't get it to work. (sigh) I'm trying to define a rule that will move all messages from anyone at the domain "commonwealthclub.org" to \Inbox2\0 CWClub". Here's what I did step by step. Tools | Rules and...

I would like to create a new field for all contacts named "Rating" or something similar. I would like it to be a 2-character text field that will appear on the General data entry form for all contacts. I also want it to appear on the contact list form and be sortable and filterable. I defined...
