Bug in Outlook.

[Guest]

Hello All,

Did you encounter the bug in the outlook 2003, when you configure the
account to delete mails from server when deleted from deleted items it
doesnot perform the action. And mailbox gets full.

How do i reach ms to infrom about the bug and get a fix for it. it causes a
lot of problems.

Hmmm, I've got my account set that way on one machine and it works as
expected. Have you applied all the Office 2003 service packs & such? If you
set Outlook to delete the items normally, does it work?

 

[Guest]

Yes! I have applied all the service packs of outlook. this includes SP2. This
used to work fine untill i swithced to the outlook 2003 from outlook express
6.0.

OE & Outlook are two entirely different programs so switching from one to
the other isn't a valid test of the way things work. Do you receive any
errors when downloading?

 

[Guest]

Nope.

If in case error occurs, it starts downloading all mail (500 MB or so) which
is also a big problem.

I also encountered a GMAIL specific problem in outlook. Of all my accounts in
GMail it some times (Not always) download old mail instead of new and new
mail is automatically archived.

500MB? Isn't that a bit extreme for a POP3 mailbox?

What sort of errors have you received?

 

[Guest]

Its because it is not deleting the old mails i want to be deleted from mail
box. Now i suppose you got the problem. It causes mail box to reach to its
max limit.
