Permanent loop security warning importing Contacts from PST fi
I meant to say Russ Valentine was a jerk...I hate people like that.

I tried the Express ClickYes app, and with it running starting outlook didn't cause the warning message to appear BUT Outlook did immediately crash.

I uninstalled the OutlookAddin from Control Panel, and Outlook started fine with ClickYes running. Since then, I've disabled and uninstalled ClickYes and Outlook still starts up fine. I think, as I always thought, that I just needed to get pst the warning for it to sort itself out. Russ, my reference to Mailbox was probably misterminology due to the label on the folder list, which by default is [Mailbox - username]. What I was originally trying to import was my old default outlook.pst file. Sorry if the inexpert terminology caused confusion. Nikki, thanks for your advice, it looks like I worked around it in the end without having to hunt down and delete all the files... And Karl, thanks for the link, useful information. Cheers all AR |

Permanent loop security warning importing Contacts from PST fi
I don't know Russ but I believe that your comment about him is uncalled for.
He was trying to help you and if his advise was not correct in this case, that is unfortunate. He and many other people spend a lot of time in these newsgroups trying to help people like you and me. I always want someone to try to help me. -- Neil "garzajm" wrote in message ... I meant to say Russ Valentine was a jerk...I hate people like that.

Permanent loop security warning importing Contacts from PST fi
You posted in a thread that is long expired in most news readers.
You failed to quote any portion of the post that would support your claim. You posted an insult but no constructive criticism. You misdirected that insult. You seem to be one clever fellow. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "garzajm" wrote in message ... I meant to say Russ Valentine was a jerk...I hate people like that.
