[nfbcs] {Spam?} Re: Outlook 2010 Conundrums

Greetings --
I have not yet moved to office7, but do have a windows7 laptop.  I have been 
considering getting office7 or later but I still have my old installation 
CDs for Office 2003.
The thing that keeps me from installing 2003 on my new machine is that I 
signed up for an online class last year and read the little blurb about 
required software and course expectations.  Turns out that the university 
requires Office7 and a particular document format and quoting conventions 
etc.  I actually read the whole document in detail, and concluded that if I 
was going to take classes online at all, I should drop office2003 and stick 
with office7.
I am only writing this to warn you that sometimes old software, no matter 
how convenient and robust, will separate you from doing some things you want 
to do because the new software provides some features.

Office7 is accessible, more or less, isn't it?
It has been out for a long time now and the screen reader vendors and 
Microsoft all have had plenty of time to adapt for accessibility.

Happy reading.

Ditch Office 2010 and go back to 2003!  I know, that's all kinds of not
helpful, but it does run on Windows 7 without the new ribbon layout.  Is it
possible to reconstruct your Outlook folders as it is in XP?  I'm thinking
maybe you can just re-initialize without reinstalling.  Or, switch to GMail
since most of the setup is automated.  I'm sitting on XP until I absolutely
have to move.

Hi Mike,

I just installed Office 2010 this past week.  I am having a very similar
problem.  I hav 3 email accounts and have discovered that, for
some reason,
there is a separate folder for each account with the account name as
described in the accounts dialog.  I have not figured out how
to actually
have my mail placed in the inbox.  By going toe the folders
(control Y) and
typing the first letter of the account P for Pop, for example
and you should
get into the folder for that account.  I am not sure how to fix
this, yet.

Warmest Regards,

Fred

Hello, all.

Santa was very kind to me this last Christmas; I thought surely
he'd leave
me with a lump of coal.  However, instead he left me a wireless
keyboard for
my iPhone and a new computer.  And therein lies the reason for
this post.
It's a 64-bit machine with a fast processor, upgraded sound
card and large
(for a laptop) hard drive.  And, much to my chagrin, it obviously runs
Windows 7.  This means I have to get used to a bit different
interface and
no more Outlook Express.  So I bought Office 2010.  Hence, I
have questions
about Outlook 2010.

I managed to get it configured for my Panix account although
the automatic
configuration chose IMAP instead of POP3 for the incoming mail
protocol.  I
received messages okay the first evening of use and test
messages from the
account configuration menu still work.  But I can't seem to download
messages from Panix and see them in my inbox.  I don't know whether
something's bum in folder synchronization (I'd rather avoid
this altogether
but it's part of the IMAP process).  Also, I seem to have run into the
problem wherein I'm not accessing the inbox I did the first
evening (which
may be part of the problem).  I don't know what, if anything, I
changed.  I
have a feeling it's sort of like the Outlook Express problem wherein the
program creates new folders with (1), (2), etc. when creating
folders with
the same name for an account (that's why there's an involved
procedure for
manually restoring folders).  Anyway, I'm stumped.  I'm sorry I
can't give
you an exact error message.

I can find the individual email messages under the Start Menu search box
when I type Outlook in it to bring up the program.  But I can't
seem to get
Outlook to see them again.

Sorry for the confusing description.  I'm having to learn Windows 7 and
Outlook 2010 at the same time.  I there a way to re-initialize Outlook
without uninstalling/installing Office again?

T I A!

Mike
