In this post i will talking about how to reset the nickname and the automatic completion caches in Microsoft Outlook. It will provides Outlook support and help for reset the nick name. Microsoft Outlook maintains a nickname list that is used by both the automatic name checking and the automatic completion features. The nickname list is automatically generated as you use Outlook. If the nickname cache is corrupted, Outlook may not be able to identify recipients, may offer incorrect recipients when automatically completing the e-mail address, or may send the message to the wrong person.

Follow the steps to use in Microsoft Windows XP.
1. Quit Outlook.
2. Click Start, and then click Search.
3. In the Search Companion left-side panel, click All files or folders.
4. In the All or part of the file name: box, type *.NK2.
5. In the Look In box, click to select your local hard disk.
6. Click More advanced options, click to select Search hidden files and folders check box.
7. Click Search.
8. Right-click the .NK2 file with the name of the profile that you want to reset, and then click Rename.
9. Rename the file to profilename.bak, and then press ENTER.
10. Quit Windows Explorer.
11. Restart Outlook.
Outlook will generate a new nickname cache.

Use the steps for both Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me).
1. Quit Outlook.
2. Start Windows Explorer.
3. On the Tools menu, click Folder Options, and then click the View tab.
4. Under Advanced Settings, click to select the Show hidden files and folders check box.

If you want to save discard or update the folder view, I hope that it is useful for you and provide Outlook Support for solve your problem. As you change to a new view of a folder, Microsoft Outlook does not give you an option to save or discard changes that are made to the current view. Outlook automatically saves the current changes to the view.

To return any view to its original settings in Microsoft Outlook 2000 and in Microsoft Outlook 2002
1. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Define Views.
2. In the list of views, click to select the view that you want to return to its original settings.
3. Click Reset, click OK, and then click Apply View.
Outlook returns the view to its original settings.


To return any view to its original settings in Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
1. On the View menu, point to Arrange By, point to Current View, and then click Define Views.
2. In the list of views, click to select the view that you want to return to its original settings.
3. Click Reset, click OK, and then click Apply View.


In Microsoft Outlook 97, when you made changes to a view, such as adding fields, sorting, or filtering, you received a prompt to discard the changes, save them under a new view name, or update the current view. Later versions of Outlook automatically update the current view with the changes without prompting.

Most Outlooks users turn off Outlook’s email notification message. With the volume of emails we all receive these days, it is way too detrimental to productivity to have a message interrupt you every time you receive an email. But… what if you want to be alerted whenever you receive emails from particular people… maybe your boss… or an important client.

Did you know that you can use Rules to display an alert similar to the one shown below... so that it will only come up when you receive an email from one or more specific email addresses?




Here are step by step instructions…

Go to your Inbox.

Click Tools-Rules and Alerts to display the Rules dialog box.


Click the New Rule button to display the Rules Wizard screen


Click “Display mail from someone in the New Item Alert Window”. (A on the picture above)

Click on “people or distribution” list (B on the picture above) to display the Rule Address screen.

Select someone from the list or type in the person’s email address in the From field.

Click OK to go back to the Rules Wizard screen.

Click “a specific message” (C on the picture above)

Type in what you want the alert message to say and click OK e.g. Email from Boss!

Click Finish


The next time you receive an email from that person, Outlook will display a message over everything else that you are working on.

This simple trick has helped our own team a lot. I hope it works well for you too.

The error 0x800CCC92 or error 0x800CCCD2 occurs when you try to retrieve a message from a POP3 server. In this post i am trying to provide better solution which is easily troubleshoot and try to provide Outlook Email Error Support.

SYMPTOMS

Note Although this article discusses an error message that may occur on a local computer, the problem actually occurs in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. To resolve this issue and prevent error messages on the local computer, an update must be applied to the Exchange server that the Microsoft Outlook application is configured to use or to communicate with.

When you try to use Microsoft Outlook Express to retrieve a message from a Post Office Protocol (POP3) e-mail server, you may receive the following error message:
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected.

I am going to discuss how to create distribution list using BCC. It provide Outlook Support for Creating distribution list Using BCC.

Do you send email to the same people over and over again? Instead of typing out the recipient's names, create a distribution list. Go to File

Click New

Click Distribution List The Distribution List window will open up. Give a name to the list, then press "Select Members". The Select Members window will open up. Double Click on the names you wish to add.

After the contacts have been added to the members field click OK. This will close the Select Members window. If you wish to add someone who is not on your contact list: Press "Add New" in the distribution list window. The Add New Member window will open. Enter the name of new member in the Display Name field.

Enter the e-mail address of the new member in the E-mail Address field.

Press OK and the new member will be added to your Distribution List.

Save and Close the Distribution List window. When you want to e-mail this group just type in the name of the List rather than each recipients name.

Now that you understand how to create a distribution list you should understand "Bcc" or Blind Carbon Copy.

"Bcc" allows you to send an e-mail without showing everyone the e-mail address of the recipients. It also is the polite thing to do. This way you're not inadvertently sharing a person's e-mail with a group of people they may not know, by including them in a mass email. You can also use the "Bcc" field to quietly notify a third party that a message has been sent.

Use of "Bcc" for long lists of addresses is important for two reasons: It protects the privacy of those to whom you send a message, and It makes forwarded e-mail less confusing to read When using "Bcc" add your own e-mail in the To: field to ensure yours is the only address shown.

All e-mail programs support "Bcc", but it may not be the default option. In Outlook 2007, click "New" for a new e-mail, then under the Options Tab click the "Show Bcc" button In Outlook 2003, click "New" for a new e-mail, then click the little down arrow to the right of "Options" and select "Bcc". Once selected, "Bcc" will be available for all new e-mails.

Here are some suggestions for using the different fields when sending e-mail. To: Add recipients who you are directly communicating with. There is nothing wrong with a list of e-mails, as long as there is no problem with each recipient being able to see the other recipient's e-mail address

Cc: Known as Carbon Copy. Use "Cc": to send a copy of the e-mail to recipients not required to participate in the communication. It allows the To: recipients to known that someone else is also receiving the e-mail

Bcc: Blind Carbon Copy is where you put e-mail addresses that should not be seen by other recipients.

HTML rendering

I am continuing with Outlook Support for the Outlook Internet standards compliance. Outlook 2007 was the first Outlook to switch from Internet Explorer HTML rendering to Microsoft Word 2007 HTML rendering. This means HTML and CSS items not handled by Word are no longer supported. On the other hand, HTML messages composed in Word will look more or less as they appeared to the author.

This most affects those publishing newsletters, because they frequently use intricate HTML and/or CSS to form their layout. For example, forms can no longer be embedded in e-mail.

Calendar compatibility

Outlook does not fully support data and syncing specifications for calendaring and contacts, such as iCalendar, CalDAV, SyncML and vCard 3.0. Outlook 2007 claims to be fully iCalendar compliant; however, it does not support all core objects, such as VTODO, VJOURNAL. Also, Outlook supports vCard 2.1 and does not support multiple contacts in the vCard format as a single file. Outlook has also been criticized for having proprietary "Outlook extensions" to these Internet standards. It supports offline storage files up to 2GB in size.

Microsoft Windows uses the default Web browser setting when you click links in a document or on a Web page. Windows uses Microsoft Internet Explorer by default, but you can change to a different browser if you want to.
To change from Internet Explorer to another browser, do one of the following:
• If you haven't installed another browser, do that first. During installation, most browsers display a message asking if you want to use that browser as the default browser.
• If the browser that you want to use is already installed, open it. You should see a message asking if you want to use that browser as the default browser. If you don't see the message, use the following instructions, but choose the browser that you want to use instead of Internet Explorer.
To make Internet Explorer your default Web browser
1. Open Internet Explorer. (Click Start, and then click Internet Explorer. If you don't see Internet Explorer on the Start menu, point to All Programs, and then click Internet Explorer.)
o If a message appears asking if you want Internet Explorer to be your default browser, click Yes.
o If a message does not appear, go to Step 2.
2. On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Set Program Access and Defaults.
Note The Set Program Access and Defaults option is available only in Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
3. In the Add or Remove Programs dialog box, click Custom, and then click the arrow to the right.
4. Under Choose a default Web browser, click Internet Explorer, and then click OK.
Tip If you have more than one Web browser installed, you can hide links to those browsers from the Start menu, the Windows taskbar, and your desktop by clearing the Enable access to this program check box.

Dates appear in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 based on the format specified in the settings for your operating system. If you want to change the date display — for example, to be a day-month-year format instead of month-day-year format — you change this in the Control Panel program in Microsoft Windows Vista and earlier.

Note All programs on your computer that use date settings from your operating system will be affected by the changes that you make in Control Panel.

Change date settings in Windows Vista

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Clock, Language, and Region, and then under Regional and Language Options, click Change the date, time, or number format.

2. On the Formats tab, click Customize this format.

3. On the Date tab, specify any changes that you want to make, under Short date and Long date.

Change date settings in Microsoft Windows XP

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Regional and Language Options.

2. On the Regional Options tab, under Standards and formats, click Customize.

3. On the Date tab, specify any changes that you want to make, under Short date and Long date.

If you do not see the format that you want in Short date or Long date, follow the guidelines specified in the following table.

Note Type an upper case M for the month setting. The lowercase m is used for the minute setting.

When you use Microsoft Office Outlook, you need a place to keep your e-mail messages, calendar, tasks, and other items. This storage place, known as a data file, allows you to keep your data on your computer. Here I am going to discuss and provided outlook support for manage outlook data files and how to save on to your computer.
About Outlook data files
When Outlook saves items to your computer, it uses a type of data file called an Outlook Personal Folders file (.pst) (Personal Folders file (.pst): Data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. You can assign a .pst file to be the default delivery location for e-mail messages. You can use a .pst to organize and back up items for safekeeping.). If you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server account, your items are usually delivered to and saved on the mail server. To allow you to work with your messages even when you cannot connect to the mail server, Outlook offers Offline Folders, which are saved in another type of data file called an Offline Folder file (.ost) (Offline Folder file: The file on your hard disk that contains offline folders. The offline folder file has an .ost extension. You can create it automatically when you set up Outlook or when you first make a folder available offline.) on your computer.
The primary distinctions between the two types of Outlook data files are:
• The Outlook .ost files are used only when you have an Exchange Server account and choose to work offline or use Cached Exchange Mode.
• The Outlook .pst files are used for POP3 (POP3: A common protocol that is used to retrieve e-mail messages from an Internet e-mail server.), IMAP (IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol): Unlike Internet e-mail protocols such as POP3, IMAP creates folders on a server to store/organize messages for retrieval by other computers. You can read message headers only and select which messages to download.), and HTTP accounts. When you want to create archives or back up your Outlook folders and items on your computer, including Exchange Server accounts, you must create and use additional .pst files.

The AutoRecover option (in these Microsoft Office programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Visio) and AutoSave option (in Microsoft Office Outlook) can help you avoid losing work in two ways:
• Your data is automatically saved If you enable Auto Recover or AutoSave, your file (such as a Microsoft Office Word document) or item (such as an Outlook Support and Outlook e-mail message) is automatically saved as often as you want. Therefore, if you have been working for a long time but forget to save a file or if your power goes out, the file you have been working on contains all or at least some of the work you have done since you last saved it.
• Your program state is automatically saved In Microsoft Office Excel, Microsoft Office Outlook, Microsoft Office PowerPoint, and Microsoft Office Word, there is an additional benefit to enabling AutoRecover or AutoSave. In these programs, if you enable this option, some aspects of the state of the program are recovered when the program is restarted after it closed abnormally.
For example, you are working on several Excel workbooks at the same time. Each file is open in a different window, with specific data visible in each window. In one of the workbooks, a cell is selected to help you keep track of which rows you already reviewed, and then Excel crashes. When you restart Excel, it opens the workbooks again and restores the windows to the way they were before Excel crashed.
Although not every aspect of your program's state can be recovered, in many cases, the Recovery feature can help you recover more quickly.

While it's true that e-mail can make communication more efficient, it's also true that the volume of messages can get overwhelming quickly. And, too much e-mail can make you feel out of control.

Outlook 2007 includes features to help you control e-mail Support volumes, find what you need, and act when and where action is required. Some of these features have been with Outlook Support all along, and some are new to this version. The good news is that all these features are flexible; so you'll be able to adapt them to fit your own organizational style.

This course will give you a glimpse of what's available. As you learn, you may find that some features are more your style than others. That's okay. Once you know what works for you, you'll see how easy it is to get out of your Inbox and into your day.
