although, i didn’t understand much of this, i think it opened my eyes.

My concern is how to create new groups of contacts within outlook. I’ve found that this is one way to establish categories for iphones to sync into groups straight from outlook.

If you can help me, fine.

Hi,

When i open outlook my inbox folders don’t show automatically, even though I exit the programme with them open. Is there a way to keep these folders open at all times?

I hope its not too complicated as I am not very techy!

Thanks, very helpful. Setting to IMAP folder, which is the reason I came here, works! (It’s not Gmail, though, so that may be a Google-specific issue?).

Mikel,

Same here. Looks like a bug in Outlook 2007. I just switched over to IMAP on Gmail today and this has been the only serious issue that I’ve had, but it’s a pain.

Setting an IMAP search folder as the startup folder doesn’t work for me. It starts up in Personal Folders/Inbox.

I called Boeings PC Enterprise help desk and was sent this http to address my issue and I don’t get it!
My problem.
When I start-up my pc each morning my inbox and calendar are loaded up as part of my automated set-up process. Frequently, another persons calendar appears on my screen….. I must then shut down that calendar and open my own.
Takes too many therbligs – need it fixed please.

Don’t know why I was sent this website and how does this fix the problem????
Ain’t it great Boeing off-loaded this service and now it takes 15 people 6 hours to not resolve an issue it used to take 1 person less than 4 miutes to fix?
Speaking of Turkeys – Happy Thanksgiving -

I agree, Jello dashboard is very cool… I’ve used it in the past.

Nice article!

There is another alternative. A freeware that lets you customize Outlook’s Today main page…
http://www.jello-dashboard.net/wordpress/ installs easy, has a style sheet to add a background image, for example, or create your own color schemes.

As it is opensource, you might want to contribute with your dessigned styles for others to enjoy.

It’s main purpose of existence is directed towards a new fashion in office working that is called Getting Things Done or GTD. Just google GTD and read a little about it.

The main page lets you organize all what Outlook allows you in a way classified by categories that are later timed and checked constantly.

You would not only install a new face for your Today page but also start using one of the most actual ideas for organization and time optimization!
