you did something wrong.

Grapesoda · 08-22-2010, 07:11 PM

I back up outlook everytime I make changes in contacts or any other area... no big deal

iSpyCams · 08-22-2010, 07:15 PM

I stopped using outlook when I discovered imap. Outlook cant handle it with a 6 GB gmail account.

Thunderbird is better, but once you get used to it just plain gmail is pretty good.

sandman! · 08-22-2010, 07:16 PM

there is a 64 bit version of outlook now that can handle huge files.

ahh, jeez, if it was that easy... but i actually use the calendar, contacts, tasks, notes and 8 email accounts with subfolders - and i synchronize that with my Android phone. and no other email program does that.

maybe the update process does not like my 10 gb of data in the pst files

why 10gb? my files are about 1.2 ish. I don't understand why you can't update the software and then load the data back in?

10 gb cause i have a few thousand emails with attachments, it adds up. someday i have to go through 8 years of email history and delete some stuff, but i still need to look up some old mails from time to time.

and the problem with outlook re-installs is that i have to re-add all email accounts and rules - or get some extra software which does that. i might do it, but if the update procedure would have worked as it is supposed to, this would not have been necessary to even think about. for now i am happy that i have the old outlook back

You're fucked when Google decides to fuck you though.

i've said it before, i'll say it again. gmail is the shit.

Mickey_ · 08-23-2010, 04:17 AM

Use outlook for contacts/calendar/tasks only. Use TB for email. You'll thank me later.

yeah there are a few apps that back up the rules and accounts.

I dump the older stuff and the last few years. I can pull up stuff from the late 90's etc form the saved .pst's I have on file

michael.kickass · 08-23-2010, 08:55 AM

Maybe you missed an option during installation, I upgraded my Office 2007 without problems.

there was no options, just a big "upgrade" button. it went all fine, the progress bar showed 100% but it hung up at that point
