Re: List

Command line tool... bork no! UGH, *friggin muttering and more muttering* FIRST go to Start-> Control Panel -> Mail Look at the Data Files Choose to Browse the folder LOOK at the PST size, if it is CLOSE or OVER 2GB, start a new one, Outlook borks itself on a 2GB PST file Then look at the path and copy it THEN GO HERE: C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMapi\1033\ScanPST.exe Give it the path you copied out, then choose one PST and run it Go get your favorite beverage and wait Run this tool on EVERY pst file Then and ONLY THEN should you re-open Outlook IF your pst file is over 2GB, go back to the Data Files (from the mail window I never told you to close) and make a new one Then go to the Accounts window (from the same mail window) and set it to use the new PST file for your mail delivery (it'll be in the space underneath the list of your accounts) ================================= Unless you aren't locked into Outlook, then go to http://mozilla.org and download and install Thunderbird Then tell it to Import your mail and news settings after Installing it.

Does anyone else have this problem with the list. It seems that every time I check my email there is one or more messages from the list that royally screws up Outlook. I usually have to delete all list messages from the actual server and reboot. It only happens with emails from php-general@lists.php.net. Just trying to narrow down the problem. Not sure if this is spam that's sneaking into the list messing things up or what.

your first problem is that your using Outlook. it may have been forced upon you, but if you have the choice give thunderbird a twirl (it's capable of importing all your mail, contacts and stuff btw). your second problem smells like the old 'your PST file is too big' problem. try archiving a load of old mail, and/or start using a fresh/new pst file, additionally you may want to try the 'compress folders' option which hides out somewhere in the bowels of Outlook. lastly your pst file may be plain borked - there is a command line tool scanpst.exe which might be able to help with that.
