Once again Outlook 2007 hiccuped and my laboriously constructed set of e-mail
folder shortcuts vanished into thin air. This time I was in the middle of
writing an e-mail and just doing the mildest form of Outlook work, and in
mid-sentence Outlook evaporated/crashed before my eyes and when I restarted
it ALL my shortcuts were gone.
I had this problem in Outlook 2003 too. How can the writers of this
software let problems like this go on for so long? I thought at one time the
problem might be that I was letting Windows shut down Outlook instead of
manually shutting it down before shutting down the computer. But in recent
times I always close Outlook manually BEFORE terminating Windows, except for
those occasional times when Outlook WON'T shut down on its own (after I tell
it to close on these occasions it remains active in Task Manager Processes
indefinitely).
Is there any way to restore lost shortcuts aside from manually rebuilding
one hundred or more links under 8 different groups?
I find this problem absolutely infuriating and basically unforgivable after
all this time. This long-used program should be, at this point, more stable.
With Outlook 2003 I was using Win XP Pro. Now with Outlook 2007 I first
used XP Pro but now have in installed on a native Vista laptop so the problem
persists between Office versions and OS changes.
Can anyone give me useful advice or perspective on this?
