Hi
I am following instructions using http://www.slipstick.com/contacts/oeshare.htm and have entered a DWORD named UseOutlook=1 in the registry. Then added a new Contact to OE (ver 6) and it did not appear in Outlook (2000) default contacts folder. The Outlook.exe is not running in Task Manager. Any ideas as to what went wrong? Thank you. |

You misunderstand. That key allows Outlook to share with the WAB, not the
reverse. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "April" wrote in message ...

I have a dilemma: I want to use Outlook for all my mail but todate, I found
been advised that if I try to view my Hotmail account, I have to "live" with the way the screen appears to "refresh" when you view the Inbox and Bulk Mail. I view those 2 folders the most and hardly ever use my default email account. This I find very diffictult on the eye. I need Outlook because I sync all my Contacts with my mobile phone. My initial thoughts were : I would use OE to send and receive for the Hotmail and Default mail account. I would set it so that the email addresses are added to the WAB and therefore it would update Outlook (I thought, but you have advised it is not possible to enter contacts in the WAB and expect Outlook to be updated). Then I thought my Contacts would all be in one place and then be able to sync with my mobile. I also only want one Contacts list, and I want to use Outlook. What's the best way of deleteing the WAB file - manaully select all or just delete the WAB file itself? Have others had the same problem and is there an easy solution? Cheers.

False. You didn't read carefully enough. You ignored the disclaimer: "In
certain configurations. " That disclaimer referred to Outlook 2000 in IMO mode, which was actually Outlook Express.

![]() "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote in message ... False. You didn't read carefully enough. You ignored the disclaimer: "In certain configurations. " That disclaimer referred to Outlook 2000 in IMO mode, *You* didn't read carefully enough, and I really doubt you've ever even tried it -- and I really don't care for your tone! Why don't you give it another read? What you're saying is 180 degrees out from that article. (Rude and mistaken at the same time is a really bad combination.) which was actually Outlook Express. That cannot possibly be the case, Outlook 2000 in any mode is not "actually Outlook Express", it has the Outlook UI, complete with calendar, task, notes and journal functionality. Also its MAPI interface is not an extremely limited subset. None of these are true of Outlook Express. What's more, it lacks the extra functionality that Outlook Express does have, including the HTML editor and ability to view raw SMTP source. They are two entirely different products -- where on earth did you get such a crazy idea? That's the biggest wad of hooey I've seen in some time. What you claim What I've observed... does not occur in valid installations of Outlook 2003 unless you upgraded from IMO and have a corrupt profile. Firstly, from what I can see, there is no IMO in Outlook 2003, I just installed fresh it on a virtual, and the default installation gives you 5 different email server types (including IMAP and Exchange Server) when you add an account. Also, I do not see the "Reconfigure Mail" button anywhere in the options dialog. Further still, a search of MSDN for IMO returns a number of hits, all of them are either exclusively about OL2000, or include sentences similar to this: "For Outlook 2000, you can install Outlook in the Internet Mail Only (IMO) mode." And the proof in the pudding is that, on a brand new, squeaky-clean installation, absolutely nothing corrupt about it at all, setting the UseOutlook registry config item WORKS. The menu item I mentioned may well tie back to something in OL2000; clearly, if you read and comprehend the Slipstick article, the functionality is read-only in OL2000... So, based on observations, testing multiple different configurations, what you claim differs from what I've observed. What are your statements based on? -Mark -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Mark J.

Hi
Yes, I have double checked and it does work! I had to restart my machine. Can I ask one further question .... I mentioned that I added Hotmail to Outlook. The behaviour is strange in that when you click on the Inbox (for example), I can see the all the expected columns, but it not in the correct location, and then it takes 3 seconds for Outlook to "refresh" and "move" the columns to the left of the screen so it is inline and next to the "Folder List". When viewing my default mail account this does not occur. The problem is that I use my Hotmail account alot and constantly moving from the Inbox to the Bulk Mail, and folder to folder, and this is not easy on the eye. Is there really no solution or is there is a workaround. I am sure other people must have the same problem. Please can you let me know your comments. Thanks alot in advance. "Mark J.
