Redirecting of e-mail, and getting addressbook to work in outlook 2000?
Hey guys,
I have two questions here that I need help on. I have two users on one machine using outlook 2000, one of the users .pst has gone over 2GB limit, and I have tried eliminating e-mails from it, but it will not delete NO matter what I do, I have also run both scanpst.exe and 2GBpst.ext (I think that's right) to reduce the size of the pst, and I have somewhat managed to cut down the size of the file but when I tried implementing the new .pst it put it below under a new heading and created subfolders below that (see http://www.sapyta.com/pictures/alexmail.jpg), I would like to be able use the second.pst as primary incoming inbox and then try to remove if I can within outlook to empty the deleted items folder and other e-mails that I do not need because as it is right now going into outlook on one side of the computer takes up to 4 minutes to it to open, and another 4 minutes to open a e-mail, and once its open and working I can move around outlook great. Now other user has no problem with .pst but, has it has two Personal folders headings(http://www.sapyta.com/pictures/momsmail.jpg) Reason for that when I had to re-install Office 2000 to fix another problem un-related to this the inbox was empty, so I had to re-add the outlook.pst back in there, but when I closed Outlook and went back in it showed Outlook today and other personal folder above. So I how do I get rid of that so that it only shows Outlook today? Also here's the other thing that is happening. When either user tries to send new e-mail both addressbooks are empty, BUT the second user has contacts, so how do I get addressbooks to work on both sides. Both users have different contacts/address so I can't copy one and put it in the other. John |

Stop and restart Outlook. The PST you chose will be the new Outlook Today. Then, for every Personal Folders you don't want, right-click its root and choose Close.

If so, there should be a setting there to enable it. I don't recall Outlook 2000 well enough to be more specific. -- Brian Tillman |

Hey Bill,
couple questions here. Should I use autoarchiving at all or not? Also I was thinking of d/l office '07 would that help or hurt? "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ... John S.

Hey Bill, Who's Bill? Should I use autoarchiving at all or not? Depends on your needs. I don't. If I want to move things from one PST to another, I manually move them. Also I was thinking of d/l office '07 would that help or hurt? You should not be considering using beta software in a production environment. However, Outlook 2007 does support Unicode PSTs which have much , much larger allowed sizes. -- Brian Tillman |
