Background. My laptop is a prety normal machine fully patched and fully up
to
date with XP Pro and otherwise no problems. My version of Office was 2003
which was also fully patched and fully up to date and otherwise
functioning
perfectly. i have three email accounts all using bog standard pop3
mailboxes
- which again I never had any problems with.
I installed Office 2007 B2 on my machine. I followed the suggested default
install routines allowing MS to do what hey think they needed to do to my
otherwise normal machine.
So now my Outlook 2007 B2 is reeiving mail but somehow is NOT RENDERING
ANY
OF THEM. I CANNOT VIEW ANY EMAILS IN MY INBOX. IN FACT I CANNOT VIEW ANY
EMAILS PERIOD.
On suggestion here I created a new profile and reinstated my pop3 accounts
as before.
Guess what. Outlook 2007 B2 downloaded the whole contents of the relevant
mailboxes but has FAILED TO RENDER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. I CANNOT VIEW
ANY EMAIL CONTENT WHATSOEVER. When I select and email all I get is white
space....
I have noticed a distinctive 'Report RENDER Problems..' button on the
email
viewing pane. Am I to infer from this that MS know about this inability to
'render' the email problem? Am I to infer that they sent out a beta
knowing
full well that it could not actually allow people to see their email? Am I
to
infer that they are so cynical that would do that to my inbox without A
FULL
PRIOR WARNING?
Mmmm, what am I to do now?
I know I will go back instead to using GMAIL, the only email contact I now
have since Office 2007 B2 fried my email so badly it has left it
absolutely
useless.
Absolutely Shocking.
FYI, I know about betas, I was one of the first to use Office 2003 Beta,
which worked fine. Lately MS have really dropped their standards. This is
really bad show.
Now I need to figure if it is worth trying to save my hopefully backed up
data or I need to start from scratch.

Sandy,
If you go back to Office/Outlook 2003, you will definitely need to delete
your mail profile. Reboot. Create a new mail profile.
As for the blank message(s), I am unable to duplicate when connecting to
a
Microsoft Exchange 2003 (with Service Pack 2) on Windows 2003 (SP1).
Just
so you know, Outlook 2007 B2 for me is running in cached mode and I tried
both connection types (RPC over HTTPS and TCP). What Russ really wanted
to
know is what type of mail account is giving you an issue (POP3, IMAP,
Exchange) and what is the default delivery location. If it happens to be
a
personal folders file (PST), is it the Outlook 97/2002 flavor or the
newer
one.
Papaours,
Do you have any security products installed (antivirus, antispam, .etc)
that
can scan e-mail? If you do, I always suggest uninstalling these products
and then retrying on a system that is nothing more than Operating System
+
Beta product. After all, the point of running a beta product is to find
out
where the break is so it can be reported back to the vendor.

OK I'm prepared to swallow the fact that the emails I received in
Outlook
2007 Beta 2 are screwed beyond repair. I accept I am stupid for
expecting
MS
Outlook 2007 Beta 2 to enable me to, you know, read my emails, and,
maybe
even reply to them.
I accept that it appears MS Outlook 2007 Beta 2 was not designed to do
that.
So if I uninstall it, do I get my Office 2003 back and the facility to
read
my email? Or have I made a big boo boo?
Did you do that? Did it work with just an uninstall?

Provide complete details on how you installed the beta and
migrated
data and
account settings.
Always create a new profile when you try an upgrade installation.

Errr. OK, I realise this is a Beta. I understand it is a Beta 2.
I know things dont always work as they should and that I should
not
'rely'
on Beta software of any kind.
However, I 'think' I am safe in assuming that Outlook 2007 Beta
2
should
be
able to receive my email and actually SHOW me the content....
I am concerned, I installed it, it runs (sort of OK), it appears
to
do
what
it says it should, BUT, EVERY EMAIL I HAVE RECEIVED IN Outlook
2007
Beta 2
since I installed it IS BROKEN. I CANNOT SEE ANY CONTENT IN ANY
EMAIL
RECEIVED.
They come into my inbox, but if you look at the space below you
will see
how
Outlook renders them....
So I am worried - surely a BETA2 would actually show me the
email!!! I
cannot imagine MS sending this out to folks.....
How do I view my emails?
