I just ran ScanPST against my PST file (old ANSI format) following the instructions in MSKB 272227 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227). The program took almost 30 minutes to run, including the repair. When it finally finished, the PST file had increased in size by about 68 MB (from...

I am puzzled about the Send/Receive options that take effect when Outlook is offline? Why would I want to connect to the server if I have put Outlook offline? When is the downside of turning these two options (F9 and automatic) off and leaving them off? If I want to get messages, I go back...

Hi, Diane, thanks for the quick reply. I do not use custom forms as far as I know. I have changed the view of some folders and would hope to preserve those. I think the Move method will work best for me. For a stand-alone Outlook account (not Exchange), the Work Offline setting is a simple...

I am trying to convert my PST from the old (ANSI) format to the new (Unicode) format. I found this article: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/convert-ansi-pst-to-unicode-pst/ I have a few questions: Question #1: Which Method? The article describes 3 methods. At the top, it says...

Can someone answer the questions above: 1. Is Option 3 the best choice for my situation? 2. Should I disable Outlook from downloading email while completing the conversion? If so, what's the best way to do that? Thanks

I want to convert everything. I am not sure if my PST file was converted from an earlier version, but I think it was. Based on this, it sounds like option 3 is my best choice. Do you agree? Is there anything you would want to know before answering? I just have one question at the moment...

I just submitted a reply in the other thread about archiving. It has three attachments. Can you delete all but the last one? Thanks.

I think I might be getting the hang of this. I selected a small folder with 146 emails that I don't care if I lose. :) Using the procedures outlined in the attached PDF file, I first exported the emails older than 12/31/10, then did the same using Archive. The two output files are exactly the...

OK. I think my PST files are all in the old format. I went to the Data Files tab in Account Settings and double clicked on the PST file (I only have one that is active). These are the settings: Name: Personal Folders Filename: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local...

I added it to a post I was composing but haven't yet posted. I have a Manage Attachments button, but no Edit Attachments. When I click on Manage Attachments, I only see ways to add more, not delete.

I uploaded the wrong attachment. Now I can't figure out how to delete it. Can someone help? I didn't see any forum for the forum itself, so I'm posting here. Thanks

I don't understand what you mean by "for use with an account". How can I tell if a PST file is Unicode? How can I make sure that a new PST file is being saved as Unicode? Can I add to it by just making it the target of another Export or Archive operation? That is, if I export the 2010...

Thanks. Are there any differences in the external file that is created when using Archive vs Export with the PST option? Can both be used to "add" to an external file? That is, if I archive or export an email folder to xyz.pst, can I later repeat the operation with new emails and have them...

Can someone explain the difference between the Export and Archive functions in Outlook 2007? I would like to save selected folders of emails to a file that is external to the primary PST file. I may want to be able to reload them at some point in the future back into Outlook so that I can...
