MS Mail for 2010
To work MS Mail with 2010 you may need to do the following.
I tried the below and it is working.
1. Install OL 2003, setup MSMAIL and use with 1.82GB pst limit file.
2. Upgrade Office 2003 or Outlook 2003 to Office 2007 or Outlook 2007
3. Open Outlook 2007 make sure the settings are as it is working with MSMAIL.
4. If prompted for MSFSMENU.ECF or MSFSPROP.ECF error while opening the OL 2007 then, close OL and reinstall the MSMAIL2003 installer, and do the settings accordingly as OL2003.
5. Make a few test mails and make sure it is working properly.
6. Upgrade Office 2007 to Office 2010 or OL2007 to OL2010
7. Open OL2010 make sure the settings are as it is working with OL2003/2007.
8. Use OL 97-2002 mode PST file for MS Mail as the default mail delivery.
9. Start OL2010, try to send a mail – you may encounter an “An attempt operation failed, object could not found”.
10. Use the compatibility97-2002 PST File from OL2003 or use 2007 (OL 97-2002 modes PST) (create a blank PST file from an OL2003 PC and copy the same as the default delivery in OL2010) OR add the Post Office Address List users to your contact, then select the users from the contact list than from Address List.
9. I found minor issues on cache file (nick name cache) as when you change the default mail delivery file. – The cache files are disappearing – So I prefer not to change the default PST file rather Archive when it increases the PST size.
10. Also you cannot make the PO Address List as default – instead you have to pull down the Address Book then select the name from the PO Address List. Or you can add the Post Office Address List users to your contact – right click on users then add to contact.
Don’t Give Up – Don’t Ever Give Up
I am happy till for further OL2010 MS Mail problem.
