Windows Live Mail FAQ
My deleted items folder is causing an error which forces outlook to close or ask for a rebuild. It may be a spam email in this folder that is causing this problem. Is there any way of deleting the items in this folder visa the database as when I click on clear this folder it shuts down. It does the same when I schedule an auto delete in the scheduler.
I really need to access this folder from the 'back end ' rather than trying to delete the emails from the outlook user interface.
Hello,
I dragged a message from Outlook into Finder, which created an EML file on my hard drive.
I now tried to open that EML file (by double clicking it) and what happens is that my Outlook hangs for ~10 seconds, then it opens a new message with the EML file as an attachment. However, the attached EML file (within the new email) is completely blank and showing as 0 KB in size. In Finder the EML file is 258 KB and the preview shows the correct content.
How can I open and view EML files?
Thank you!
Dears,
I have a big issue in the size of the message/attachment directories and they are consuming a lot of the system drive space and increasing exponentially, which affects the laptop performance dramatically. i tried to move those directories to another drive but i did not find any setting to do so, the i tried to copy the directories to another drive then used a symbolic link but it did not work although the i changed the original directory name to a new name (.old), the new mails still directed to the same old directory named (.old) !!!
Is there any other way to solve that issue? Please need help!

I've just moved to Outlook 2011 from Entourage 2004. My first 2 questions have to do with using Contacts.
1) In Entourage, I could highlight a group of contacts, copy them and when I pasted into Word or my mass email program, only the email addresses of the contacts would be pasted. With Outlook, all the info for the contact is pasted. How can I copy just the email address for a highlighted group of contacts?
2) In Entourage, I had Address Book Views created for the many Categories to which I had assigned contacts. In Outlook, I don’t see a way to create the equivalent of Address Book Views. Is this done through creating a new Folder or Contact Group? And if so, what’s the procedure for adding a large group of contacts to a new Folder or Contact Group rather than one by one? I have thousands of these to do.
Thanks
Gregg
Hello, since i've updated, My Mac (i'm not sure if it has something about the update) i'm having an issue that every time i've send a message with somthing pasted from the web (a table or a picture), and open this sent message on sent itens, my outlook crashes.
Using reading pane i can see the message. And if i clicl download the pictures i can double click and open the message with no issues.
Is there anyone with the same error.

-Maverick running here
-Lates Outlook running here.
Thanks
I have two email accounts configured, an Exchange account which is also the DEFAULT account, and a POP3 account.
The problem is inconsistent default account behavior if "Group similar folders, such as Inboxes, from different accounts" under Preferences -> General is enabled.
It appears that the concept of a "default" account is quite meaningless
If "Group similar folders" is enabled, and I compose a new message, then the "From" header is taken from the account of the current selected message. i.e. if the currently selected message is from the POP3 account, then the "From" header of the NEW message will be from the POP3 account and not the default Exchange account.
However if "Group similar folders" is DISabled, and I select a message in the POP3 folder, then Outlook will correctly use the default Exchange account in the From header of any new messages.
In my opinion, this is a bug as Outlook should always use the default account as the sending (From) account regardless of the setting of "Group similar folders", otherwise the concept of a default account has no meaning.
I am currently running Outlook 2011 version 14.3.2 (130206).
I have a long standing irritation with Outlook 2001. If I am writing an emailiand try to manually create an ordered list like this
a) First point
b) Second point
c) Third point
Outlook converts my manual list into an automatically ordered list that looks like this
A) First point
B) Second point
C) Third point
Maybe I'm being fussy, but I would rather not have Outlook automatically format my list, and convert my lower case a), b), c) into upper case A), B), C).
Is there any way of either stopping Outlook from automatically formatting my list, or of controlling the formatting it decides to apply so it does not convert my lower case a) to upper case?
Hello,
In our office most people work off of desktop computers but one user is working from a laptop.
We'd like to use Shared Contacts (through granting permissions and opening each other's Address Book on our respective stations).
If the laptop user is on the network, opens everybody's Address Book, and then disconnects from the network, does the laptop's Outlook "remember" all the Contacts? E.g. if the user goes on a trip, can they still view the Contact from a different user's Address Book?
Thank you!
