MAPI problems - all help welcome! -- I'll just add the Win7NG in there too.

[Running Windows 7 Home Edition and Outlook 2003 SP3 on a 1 year-old Dell desktop] A colleague is having problems with sending emails and we think we've narrowed the problem down to the MAPI file. The original issue arose because Quickbooks was unable to send PDF invoices through Outlook, as it had been doing some time ago. Firing up Word and selecting File Send as attachment also failed. So, we ran the fixmapi.exe tool and rebooted the computer, tried the Word experiment again and it worked. Once. When we tried it again, we got the same error, and this was the same when we ran Quickbooks. It seems that for some reason the mapi32.dll program is becoming corrupted each time it's triggered, so it'll only work once. We've tried renaming the MAPI file before running fixmapi, and checking to make sure that it's not set to read-only. We've checked the computer for malware and viruses (Avast & MBAM) and had the all-clear. Can anyone shed any light on what might be going on and how it might be fixed? Many thanks in advance, Trent |

Many thanks in advance, Trent Check the versions of mapi on the machine. You may have version/location conflicts. Outlook 2003 is getting a bit long in the tooth, and it's possible that there is a compatibility issue between it and the current versions of mapi. System32 folder prod ver 6.1.7601.17514 75kb file ver 1.0.2536.0 2/22/11 winsis x86 older version present on my machine 6.1.7600.16385 file ver 1.0.2536.0 7/13/2009 This system has win 7 32 with office 2007 and 2010 installed. |

Outlook forgets to ask for .pst password first time it's started
This is strange. I have a password for my pst folder. When I first start
Outlook after booting, it opens without asking for a password, displaying all the folders. If I close it and re-open later, it asks for the pw. Any ideas why it behaves like this? |

Why have you cross posted on all the newsgroups you could think of. Don't you think this a very stupid thing to do!! |

If for folder, no, it won't ask until one tries to access that folder. |

Ensure that when setting up the password for the pst file in Outlook that the 'Save Password' box is unchecked. -- ...winston msft mvp consumer apps |

The password you're referring to is NOT the one I'm seeking info about, it is the one assigned to the .pst file containing all the email folders, calendar, etc. Logging into my ISP's email is not the issue. |

It is the password that protects the .pst file which contains email folders, contacts, calendar etc. Outlook -always- prompts for this password every time I open Outlook except for the very first time after the system boots. |

The account is protected and Save Password is not checked (which is why it sometimes asks for it, just not the first time after starting Windows). |

I posted my question to one newsgroup. How it wound up in four is beyond me. I use this newsreader every day and post to 3 or 4 pro audio groups and what you're telling me has never happened. I'm still interested in figuring out my outlook program, but I'm finished with all of you who have nothing better to do with your lives than play newsgroup cop. Please, no more flames. I'm unsubscribing now--from God only knows how many Outlook groups! |
