How do I get rid of those stupid "fill-in" email addresses? I don't want to delete them all but just a few I don't need.

See example.

 

Hit the delete button when its highlighted....

 

Thanks whiskers, that was quick. I thought I had to hax the registry....

 

 

I just emailed some porno to that address.....j/k

 

Yea, dont use it

 

well, he is the email expert.

 

fine with me. I think those 2 happen to be spammer addresses.

 

I was actually wondering this earlier this week...big shock, Help wasn't too helpful...thanks for the info!

 

another Outlook question, dont feel like starting new thread..

Has anyone seen this in Outlook 2003 - after an e-mail is sent, it appears in Sent Items as a draft. It says "This item has not been sent" above the To: field. When in fact, the item has been sent. Anybody ever seen something like this?

 

Srika, I've had that happen before; I just hit "send & receive" a couple of times and make sure it's really been sent. Sometimes it seems like Outlook is a little slow on the uptake. To prevent this from happening again, tinker with your "auto-save drafts" settings.

 

You would have wasted a lot of time doing that. They aren't stored in the registry. They are in a file with the extension .NK2 in your "my documents and settings" folder.

If you ever want to get rid of all of them, just delete that file.

 

hey thx I checked those out and I think its a step in the right direction - although I still have not found any answers. since the issue is kinda sporadic, its hard to troubleshoot.

 

I Outlook.

 

as much as I love Outlook, still have few complaints... There is a limit on the file size of all the rules you have, so once you hit the limit, any additional rules will not work. AND that limit is very very small. Sucks when I have over 100 rules, only less than half of them work, for the rest, I have to manually drag them into my organized folder, sucks sucks.

 

-Are you going against an Exchange server or pop?
-Version of Outlook?
-Cached mode?
-Online or offline?

 

You should be shot for having 100 rules....

 

-2003 11.8010.6568 SP2
-yes
-online

 

no doubt.. wtf.

 

Try unchecking cached mode. Go into Outlook and hit F9. Then turn back cached more and hit F9 again.

 

ok - is this a global solution or would it have to be done anytime the issue occurred?

 

Sometimes the cached form and ost get wacky....Its should only be done if you have these kinds of problems.

 

I am curious on how one goes about just deleting a few entries in this file and not all of them? how do you edit the entries?

 

Arrow down and hit the delete button....

 

What I am trying to get at is that this isn't a file you can edit on Notepad or Word. It is encrypted.

 

blast that cached mode, FRMCACHE and that OST... all crap. ;p

 

You don't...If you want to remove only some, compose a new message, type the letter a, arrow down and hit delete....Repeat for all letters....
