This mostly pertains to Japanese and Chinese font. When I open the email, I
can read it fine, and the subject displays the correct Japanese. However, in
the inbox, all I see are garbled symbols. This makes it hard to distinguish
who the sender is.

My email provider displays it correctly in the online mailbox, so I know
it's not their fault.

Is there a way to encode the Inbox?
 
You need 3 things for this:
- Outlook 2003 (or higher)
- A Unicode-enabled OL2003-type PST file
- incoming messages must be correctly encoded in Japanese or Chinese
 
Thank you for the help. Now is it possible to download Outlook 2003+ as an
"update" of sorts or is it a completely different program?

I.E. MSN 2.0 --> 2.1
 
You can download the beta of Outlook 2007, but if you need it in a
productive environment, then I recommend that you buy the Outlook 2003
upgrade.
 
I'm using outlook 2007 but still have the same problem, cannot read the
subject & sender names. Why ? & how to solve this ?
