In the activities tab for a contact in the Public folder, I can see the
journals but not the e-mail or tasks. So, I go to properties of Contacts and
tell Outlook where to look for e-mails and tasks (in my personal inbox &
personal tasks). This works great until I come to work the next day and the
setting is gone and I have to redo. I notice that the Apply button is always
greyed out. However, there are some days when it stays with the correct
setting.

The same thing is happening to everyone else's work computer (we have
exchange server) and we do not want this to be a daily procedure.

Am I doing something wrong?
