Hi all,

Am having a problem while configuring a laptop with vista business + SP1 and
outlook 2007 + SP1.
The same user did not have any problem when he had win xp + outlook 2003.
When the user tries to connect to other exchange servers in the same domain,
then the status is disconnected.
Is there any bug in vista and outlook 2007 that prevent it from connecting
to exchange 2003?
Please help...

There is no bug in Vista/Outlook 2007 preventing connection to Exchange
servers. You need to contact your Exhange admin for assistance.

Check firewalls, hosts, etc - vistas security is tighter so it could be
blocking it.

Can you ping the server?

I felt that perhaps search was slow so i went to the Modify button in the
Indexing Options control panel applet where to my surprise i see duplicate
Outlook 2007 accounts in the search locations (ie: 2 instances of
and 2 instances of , Personal Folders, etc...)
and all of them are selected by checkboxes. i dont know which one is the
original or the duplicate, so i tried to go to Advanced Options and tried
Rebuild and Restore Defaults thinking that, perhaps doing this would
reinitialize my index settings and would properly see the actual email
accounts that are active in my Outlook, but is is of no avail as the
duplicate items are still there.

Is there a way to fix this? Could this be slowing down my index since it is
possible that it indexed the same outlook file twice? There is no Option in
the Indexing Options applet to see if the duplicates are pointing to a
single PST. To be sure, i checked the Folder List of Outlook and there are
no duplicate open folders there.

For your reference, i took a screenshot which i posted here
http://www.flickr.com/photos/norbs888/2863570784/

you have 2 personal folders listed in the outlook items on the left pane of
outlook...

since both have inboxes for example that’s why you are seeing that...

if you don’t want that, use only one PST file and right click on the other
"personal folders" and close it.

You'll probably need to make a new profile to fix it.

but first..
Are some of the duplicates from imap accounts? Is hotmail using http or
outlook connector?
Did you try unchecking the duplicates you know are duped to see if it speeds
things along? The 3 personal folders will be hard - although you could
rename the two in your profile so they are identifiable.

hotmail is using the outlook connector while my gmail is imap. ill try to
create a new profile to see if it fixes things. i tried unchecking the
duplicates and it does seem faster. but not as fast as before. maybe
something got messed up.

hotmail on outlook connector and gmail on imap has only one instance open
but its doubled on the index.
