Outlook 2003

[DavidRodKeller]

Have installed Outlook 2003 on terminal server running Server 2000. Moved
..pst file from Outlook 2007 that was running on desktop XP Pro SP3. I have a
couple questions that you can hopefully help with:

1) how do i make Outlook 2003 save sent messages in the folder the mail
replied to was located

2) If I click on the Contacts folder in the folder list my contacts are
visable, but if I open address book they are not (even though I I tell it to
look for names in my Contacts). How do I get my Contacts to show in the
Address Book?

3) If I start typing a name in the "To" box Outlook will not offer to
complete the address by showing names from the Contact list. How do i get the
program to look at contacts and offer addresses as I enter names in a new
mail?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Outlook 2007 was runnung
fantastic when I was working from my desktop but now that I have put 2003 on
the terminal server the options are different and I have not yet set it up
the way I'd prefer. By the way I put 2003 on the server because 2007 did not
seem to like Server 2000.

Have installed Outlook 2003 on terminal server running Server 2000. Moved
.pst file from Outlook 2007 that was running on desktop XP Pro SP3. I have a
couple questions that you can hopefully help with:

1) how do i make Outlook 2003 save sent messages in the folder the mail
replied to was located

Tools>Options>E-mail Options>Advanced E-mail Options. Check the box labeled
"In folders other than the Inbox, save replies with original message".

2) If I click on the Contacts folder in the folder list my contacts are
visable, but if I open address book they are not (even though I I tell it to
look for names in my Contacts). How do I get my Contacts to show in the
Address Book?

Right-click the Contacts folder. Choose Properties. Select the Outlook
ADdress Book tab. Check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail
Address Book". If that box is not active, the Outlook Address Book service in
the mail profile is damaged. Repair it with the Mai lapplet in Control Panel.

3) If I start typing a name in the "To" box Outlook will not offer to
complete the address by showing names from the Contact list. How do i get
the
program to look at contacts and offer addresses as I enter names in a new
mail?

You can't get it to look at Contacts. The autocompletion feature, enabled by
clicking Tools>Options>E-mail Options>Advanced E-mail Options and checking the
box labeled "Suggest names while completing To, Cc, and Bcc fields", does not
reference Contacts in any way. The autocompletion cache simply remembers the
last 2,000 addresses to which you've sent mail. If the feature doesn't work,
it usually means Outlook isn't closing properly and the cache file isn't
getting written.
