Outlook 2002 shuts down with 700 unread emails
in [Outlook]
|
From: Bob on 25 Mar 2010 00:35 After three weeks away from my desktop computer, I had hundreds of emails to download into my outlook inbox. When the download was over, outlook closed immediately and if opened, closes again after checking for the effects of an improper closing. So, how do I recover from this, since Outlook shuts off before I can delete what I don't need. Second, other than being more regular in blocking junk mail, what can be done to avoid this in the future? Bob

From: robert pindell on 30 Mar 2010 05:38 Sorry for the delay. Outlook won't work in safe mode. The only error message in the event viewer was a series of five 7011 codes in a row for the system category. I'm still trying to get to the PST file - I understand it is somewhat hidden. Trying to do my tax return is eating into looking at how to find it. Bob --- frmsrcurl: http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.outlook.general/Outlook-2002-shuts-down-with-700-unread-emails

Enter the following into the Address field: %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Press Enter. That should open the folder most likely to contain your PST. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

After another break for travel and following Brian's instructions I get archive.pst = 127,168 KB and outlook.pst = 667,872 KB. A lot less than 2GB. --- frmsrcurl: http://msgroups.net/microsoft.public.outlook.general/Outlook-2002-shuts-down-with-700-unread-emails |
