Outlook 2007 File Size On Disk Stays Same After Archiving
Jan 16, 2012
For some reason, when I archive my personal folder, the size of the outlook.pst is not decreasing? I'm following the same steps, e.g. I close outlook after archiving, then re-open and compact the personal folder. From WITHIN Outlook, the personal folder size shows that it's been reduced significantly. But from my file manager view, the file size continues to grow, and is now approaching 2G. While I know this Outlook 2003 2G max limitation was "fixed" in Outlook 2007, I still don't understand why the size on disk doesn't reflect the fact that I've archived?
I'm running Outook 2007 under Windows 7 (64 bit)
I'm assuming this may be a problem because Outlook occasionally hoses up for no apparent reason?
I checked my page file size versus my RAM and since they were both ~ 6G, I followed the advice received elsewhere in this forum to increase the page file size. I have now set it at 9G to 12G.

I've just installed Windows 7-64 and Office 2007. When I open Outlook the window size is half the screen. I would like it bigger and drag the bottom of the window to the bottom of the screen. When I close Outlook and re-open, it reverts to the old window size and does not remember what I had set it to. How can I get it to remember the size it want?

Okay, so a friend of my dad told him that he used to see the folder icons and labels in the left pane of Outlook 2007 in a bigger font/size before switching to a new computer with Windows 7. Obviously, we all know that upgrading Windows won't change font sizes that are coded into independent programs, so I'm thinking that maybe his old computer was running at a lower resolution. Anywho, my dad's friend asked my dad to ask me this question, and since I don't use Office 2007 anymore, I need to ask you: is there a way to change the size of the folder icons and labels in the left pane of Outlook 2007, without changing the size of anything else?

I have three email accounts with gmail connected to outlook 2010. Sadly the PST file contains all the emails from my email addresses and since I hate deleting emails the PST files are huge. Is there a way to set up outlook so it only goes back X ammount of time for storing email on my system and have some other way to access anything older?Right now I have 10 GB's of files on my laptop and I am sure my desktop to. So I would much rather shrink that down as much as possible, if not then I can move the files to a none OS HDD, but with my laptop at least hard drive space is somewhat limited.

I have an old XP laptop which I was using Outlook Express for one of my mail accounts (a work account). I also ran regular Outlook for another (personal). I want to have both of these accounts on my new PC.
My new PC is running Windows 7 wiht Office 2007. I used the Windows transfer cable and things worked failry well. My regular Outlook files all came over well, but nothing for Outlook Express.
I really would like to take this time to somehow export my OE files into my Outlook 2007. I would really like to keep the account which imported in on Outlook seperate.
Question 1: Is there a way to import my OE files into Outlook 2007?
Question 2: Is there a way to have two seperate email accounts in Outlook without combining them? Basically I want to have a work email and a personal and keep them seperate.
If I can't have two seperate emails with Outlook, can anyone suggest something which would allow me to export my old Outlook (the old personal emails) into another program so that I can at least use my work email on Outlook 2007?

Second problem: When I make a new folder on my desktop, name it and push enter,the name reverts to "new folder".

Just got a brand new Samsung Series 7 laptop and everything was working fine until i started installing windows updates. The cpu is now stuck at around 15% load and there's constant disk activity too. I run msconfig.exe and disabled programs that I don't really use much, run disk defrag just too make sure the disk was working well. As a result my cpu is running hot (65 degrees) and the battery drains pretty quick.

My C: drive has been displaying a size of around 60 gb with 40 free even though it's a 300 gb drive. I thought the issue would resolve with a clean install, so I did that. Now I have a fresh install and i need to reinstall everything, but the problem isn't fixed. Below are some screen shots of the drive size:Disk Management, showing my C: Drive's full size ^Any suggestions of how I can reclaim this space?? I've tried a few things already to no avail. If you need any more information about my computer to help, let me know. This is pretty annoying, 'cause I want to use that extra space to install Ubuntu.Oh, I just rememberedWhen I look at the drive in Paragon Partition Manager, it shows the full Drive size, but says that the space that is missing from Windows is in use...

I am trying to move one pst file from one laptop which has Outlook 2010 32 bit to another laptop which has Outlook 2010 64 bit installed, steps taken 1) Copied the pst file from the User/AppData/Microsoft/Outlook folder to usb. 2) Pasted the file from usb into User/Documents folder. 3) Tried to open the file in Outlook and I get the error that Outlook encountered errors while opening the file. Now how is that possible when the file is working perfectly in one laptop but when I copy and paste it into another it gets corrupted? Is it due to 32 bit to 64 bit outlook? I tried to repair it using scanpst and it brought back few mails?

whatever i try to do on my outlook that has to do with .PST file management results in a crash where outlook quitsif i go to control panel > mail settings > data files 2 of the files that are in use (& work) do not show up, one of them the default mail delivery .PST. in these two, trying to access the advanced properties gives an error:The operation failed. An object could not be found.now - general googling tells me that recreating the profile could perhaps fix this - but i would love to avoid that as there's no manageable UI to set up the email accounts and there's many in use.event log on trying to open a pre-existing .PST that's not in the current profile:

Ever since office 2010, its required a registry edit to send files larger than 25mb.... well, I tried using the reg edit and it isn't working any longer (at least not for me).And this is on any email account, I know it is not a limit on the server.

I had completed a beautiful 82-slide PowerPoint presentation, but the wav file I embedded was HUGE (about 200 MB) and not to my choosing. I just had to have the music a certain length to span across 82 slides. Is there ANY WAY to reduce the size of this music wav file (so that it conforms to the 50 MB max file size for PowerPoint). I would rather embed this music file than to have a link.

My .com domain expired but I had it reactivated the next day. Now when I try to connect either with Outlook 2007 or Webmail using Xp or Windows 7 on some pc's it will not connect but on some other machines it will connect. What could be the issue with the pc's that will not connect to the login window using webmail or to the pop3 address using Outlook 2007?

Today I found a particularity that may indicate I need to fully uninstall Office 2007/Outlook 2007 and reinstall fresh. I wanted to export > excel the Contacts. What I ended up with were the titles: Subject, Address, Name and so forth. Not one address out of hundreds showed up. The export failed to create a list of Contacts.I then did a export > csv . Nothing.
I looked at my earlier backups from months ago and they are complete to that point in time.There are particularities with this incarnation of Outlook 2007 such as the inability to export > to do a decent auto complete. Little annoying things that I never experienced in Outlook 2003. I feel I should remove Office 2007 and reinstall fresh.I think the Outlook 2007 is damaged. The way to prove true would be a reinstall.I did the diag and repair and nothing came up. All scores came up with a pass.

I'm running Outlook 2007 with Windows 7 on my Dell Vostro 220. I recently started getting the popup prompting me to save my password in outlook. This has happened before on other computers in my office and we normally fix it by changing the password. This time I've changed the passwords, tried everything listed here - [URL] and it still wont save. I am prompted for the password every time I try to run a send/receive or when any email comes in or out. At first I would just hit save two or three times and it would go away for a little while until I got another email but the the emails would be sent or received. Now I am getting incoming emails but cant send, it just keeps popping back up.

I have set up several outlook (2007) signatures and now they are gone. They are listed in the drop down menu when I click insert, signature; but when I select one, it does not appear in my e-mail. nothing does. I am not able to edit or delete them. I am able to create new ones but can't use the same name as the old ones, because a pop up say it already exists. I did some search and found out the htm, txt, and rtf files are located in C: user, <user>, appdata, roaming, msoft, signatures. I see both the ones that won't appear and the new ones I created. Not sure if this is related to my issue, but i ran a few free scans to see if i could find and fix problem. (regcleanPro, RegBoost, CCleaner) they all found a ton of errors. I'm missing a load of HKEY files, plus other stuff, too much to list.

My computer crashed then re-booted to the login. After logging in, it all seemed to load as usual. Then I clicked on the icon for Outlook 2007 and it came up with the request for the password to the Personal Folders(1).pstThe problem is that I can't recall ever setting the password for that particular personal folder and after several attempts it refuses to let me in to Outlook. I can see the Menu bar and the titles in the menu bar but cannot click on them or ANYTHING.Have tried using Scanpst.exe without success. When I look in C:Users Pete App Data Local Microsoft Outlook I can see the archive .pst file there. The one that is causing the problem(Personal Folders(1).pst) is in a separate folder.My computer is Windows 7 x 64 Professional with Office 2007 sp2. Memory is 4Gb, I have My Documents in a separate HDD. Have attached a .docx of the issue.

I am using Outlook 2007 for email. All of a sudden, I can't click on any links without getting the following message:
"This operation has been canceled due to restriction in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator"
I AM the sys admin! I had this problem once before due to an automatic update from Microsoft. After switching to Thunderbird email, the problem resolved itself (likely with another auto update from Microsoft).
I'd actually rather use another email program, but my wife's email setup REQUIRES Outlook 2007, or so we're told.

I am using Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 RC1 (7100) with Franklin Covey PlanPLus for Outlook v.6 add-on. This add-ob really gets slow at times. I asked tehir support, they said windows 7 is not supported (ah, that was easy to forsee).
Before I try the thing on XP - I want to try running Outlook in XP Compatibility Mode. When I try this Outlook starts, but cannot find my profile (or any profiles whatsoever).
Ok, windows 7 keeps Outlook data differently from Win XP. But how can I create a profile for XP compatibility mode? The craziest thing is run a control panel which creates profiels in XP Compatibility mode, or reinstall outlook (or start it with some command-line switch to pretend that it runs the very first time and force it to craete a profile while running in XP Compatibility mode?)
Anybody? Any ideas?

Been searching all over and cannot find any answers. Hopefully you all can help.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 RTM on a Dell Studio XPS 13 with 6GB of RAM, NO paging file.
This was an upgrate from Vista Home Premium 64 (came with the machine), that was freshly installed (complete factory restore).
Did the upgrade and then installed Office 2007 clean. And, yes have Office 2007 SP2 installed.
I have minimal add-ins.
I use Imap access to 3 mailboxes.
One goes to Fastmail and the other 2 to Gmail. Seems that no matter which account I open mail from, the darn app just closes with the standard windows error message, then "looking" for solutions and then restarts.
Most of the time I just cancel it and re-open Outlook manually. Granted, I'm on some really crappy Internet connections, but most of the time, I have to run Outlook in safe-mode.
Any ideas?
