[dba-Tech] Outlook question

Hi Susan:

When Outlook reaches its limits things start to happen. It has a maximum
size and after that it has to start archiving and this adds some more issues
to the mix.

I have not tried it myself but a fellow tech, after his client had a series
of outlook problems decided to migrate everyone to Thunderbird. It is not
the perfect answer but it allows 2GB per directory and is can be networked
within an office. I have been told that it is very stable as well. Might be
worth investigating?

Subject: [dba-Tech] Outlook question

My copy of Outlook 2003 is hosed -- has been for a long time and I've even
mentioned it here. I uninstalled and reinstalled, but didn't help.
Basically, I can open it and see stuff, I just can't do anything. 

I installed it temporarily on a system that's not connected to the Internet,
so I can't activate it, but thought I could use it - just writing, so need
specific step instruction. I'm not trying to use it. Anyway, the Rules and
Alert Wizard isn't available -- just isn't on the Tools menu. I can't
imagine that not activating it could be the problem. 

Anyone have any clues? I tried a custom reinstall to make sure the wizard
isn't an optional installation and didn't find anything. 

Susan H.
