Swimmer Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 During my monthly fix the family computer time... I was asked to make MS outlook calendar word wrap. The only way that I was able to get it to do this was to restore the defaults.. Well low and behold everything just decided to delete itself.. Contact, inbox, folders, pop settings and the calendar.. This is more for a future reference than anything else.. but if you ever have a problem with your inbox dissappering or you deleted a message that you really needed.. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/287497 Or you can pay $90 for a program that does the exact same thing. that should take care of it.. basically outlook logs everything into a database.. In my case i ran that program and nothing came up.. So I renamed the database to the current one, tricky naming by MS.. the old one was Outlook and the new one was Outlook1.. and presto chango I have everything back including spam!

resopalrabotnick Posted July 3, 2006 CID Share Posted July 3, 2006 now at least we know why outlook "grows" on you... but that is a helluva useful feature. i wonder if there is a way to say "lose all changes 6 months old and older" or something...
