Missing send and send/receive button after Vista Clean Install

B

Brian

Over the weekend, I did a clean install of Vista Premium on my home PC. I
installed Office 2003 including Outlook 2003 (supposed to be supported in
Vista).

Everything works great with a few exceptions. No send button when creating
a new note. No save button to save a note as a draft, and no send/receive
button generally available.

I have tried almost all of the suggestions in this forum. Including
resetting toolbars, (The send and save options are nowhere to be found in any
of the tool bar customization options.) I have tried renaming outcmd.dat to
outcmd.old. I have tried detect and repair to fix the install, etc., etc.

I created the profile fresh within outlook after the outlook clean install,
but then pointed it to the data file I had backed up so I would have my old
inbox, calendar, etc.

No luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have an active email account configured?

Milly, thanks for your reply.

Yes, when I started outlook 2003 for the first time, I added the email
accounts using the Tools > Email Accounts function. I added three accounts
to aggregate into the same inbox, used the "Test Settings" button and all
worked. (This is exactly the same way I had it configured in XP Pro before
doing the clean install of Vista.)

What I don't see is an active email profile in the Mail settings applet in
Control Panel. It sees outlook as an available email app, but there is no
profile. My assumption is that this profile is for the new Microsoft Mail?

Thanks for your help,

I would then create a new Outlook mail profile and see if that clears up your problem.
