I am running Outlook 2003 (11.8010.6568) SP2
Noticed just recently (yesterday) my Outlook folders are missing one or more letters from their name. For instance, Saved Items are "Saved Iten" When I click rename "Saved Items" on the right click menu, it shows the correct name in the little box, and is ok after I click out. But when I re-open Outlook, the names are missing digits again. No problems with any function of Outlook as far as I can tell, but it is bothersome. Any help or advice is appreciated. I do use Windows Update and have all updates for Windows and Office applied. I also use Norton for virus, and MS for spyware, but haven't done anything to those other than updates. No Outlook add-ons lately, new or updated. Marti |

Click on its right edge and drag it farther right to make it a little wider. -- Brian Tillman |

Click on its right edge and drag it farther right to make it a little wider. Navigation Pane width doesn't do anything, still missing letters. I repaired MS Office successfully, but that didn't help, either... Marti |

One is to delete the file yourprofilename.xml in the (hidden) folder %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook (where "yourprofilename" is the name of your mail profile) and the other is to try running Outlook once with the /resetfoldernames command line switch. -- Brian Tillman |

Brian, deleting the .xml didn't do anything. But running from the command line with the /reset opened Outlook exactly right! Unfortunately, when I closed Outlook and opened it with the shortcut, the names were back to missing letters. I created a shortcut with the /reset switch, and it works fine, just a second longer to open Outlook - is there any harm or danger in using this? Or any other ideas? Really appreciate your help and feedback. Marti |

Unfortunately, when I closed Outlook and opened it with the shortcut, the names were back to missing letters. Then try opening Outlook once with the /safe command line switch and post back with the results. I created a shortcut with the /reset switch, and it works fine, just a second longer to open Outlook - is there any harm or danger in using this? Or any other ideas? Do you have any add-ins? While I don't think the /resetfoldernames will hurt anything, you shouldn't need it every time you run Outlook. -- Brian Tillman |
