Outlook 2003:
None of the "find" "look for" boxes work anymore. If I type in an entry and
search it keeps searching and never finds anyhting.
Any ideas?

Does Advanced Find work for you? Also make sure you've got the right folder
configured to search in. Note that Microsoft has released a fast search tool
as a free addin for Outlook. On the Microsoft download site search for
Lookout.

Advanced search does not work either. Also the folders list drop down shows
the folders, but you can't select them.
Thanks for the info on the free tool. I will download it.

You can either try it with a clean profile or reset the Toolbar by renaming
outcmd.dat to .old
