Hello,
As I changed my hardware, I tried to reinstall Outlook 2007 on the new
machine minimizing the necessity to reconfigure the account information and
the number of duplicates. These would be created, if I were not able to
distinguish between old mails I had received in the past and new mails
arrived during the migration phase. Indeed, I use the storage capacity of my
mail provider as a kind of additional backup. That is the reason why I have
thousands of mails I do not wish to receive again.
To accomplish this aim I saved following keys of the registry database
- Key 1: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging
Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676
- Key 2:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail
After reinstallation of Outlook 2007, I configured an empty profile. After
this, I processed the stored registry key 1 to add them to the current reg
db. The result is, I can see all old accounts of the account information. I
added the passwords to them, which were not stored in the reg file, and
started ro receive mails for each account stopping it after a short time in
order to create the "UnreadMail"-keys. And yes, they were created with two
exceptions:
-There is one IMAP account I cannot see. I assume there is no need to store
information about unread mail in IMAP accounts.
- There is one POP account I cannot see. I do not have any explanation for
this.
Then I overwrote the “UnreadMailâ€-keys by processing Key 2. They were
definitely changed as desired. Unfortunately the whole porcess did not do,
what it should do. Replacing the "UnreadMail"-information is not recognized,
i.e., Outlook tries to get all mails anyway.
What went wrong? Any idea, what I have to do additionally? Please, bear in
mind that the old installation does not exist any more. However, I have
access to backup files incl. the old registry db.
Thank you for your support, Peter
