Missing Sig file, Intellisense, email accounts
Hi,
I had to rebuild my system win xp pro sp3 and am using Office XP (outlook 2002). I have copied over my .pst file from the original drive and can see my mail in outlook, but my sig file does not appear at the bottom of new mail, and intellisense does not work on the To: box for email addresses I entered in my original outlook; and the email accounts with servers and ports are gone. Are these 3 items not stored in the .pst file? Where are they and what is best way to restore such info? BTW, my original outlook directory only contained .pst files and no other type of file. Thanks. |

I have copied over my .pst file from the original drive and can see my mail in outlook, but my sig file does not appear at the bottom of new mail, Signatures are kept in %AppData%\Microsoft\SIgnatures, not in the PST. If you didn't copy that folder before rebuilding, then you destroyed them. and intellisense does not work on the To: box for email addresses I entered in my original outlook; What's "intellisense"? Do you mean "autocompletion" (i.e., "suggest names while typing in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields")? That file is %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\yourprofile.NK2, which, unless you copied it before rebuilding, you destroyed it. and the email accounts with servers and ports are gone. This information is kept in the registry and you destroyed it when you rebuilt. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
