1. Ol 2003 is a change for the worse, I go back to Ol 2002 (XP)
I installed Outlook 2003, but after working a while with it I have decided to go back to Ol 2002. Why? Here are some reasons: 1. Mails in the outtray, that have been selecet or edited will not be sent (using F9). Bug? 2. Ol 2003 often crashes when I close it 3. Where is the shortcut bar? In Ol XP I could display my outlook shortcuts bar AND the folders. In Ol 2003 this is not possible. And the buttons on the left down are not configurable (and it looks like a copy from Lotus Notes (which in fact is much more user UNfriendly) 4. I connot move the column with the flags 5. I have to change for each folder manually the view, because redefining the view seems not to work. 6. displaying an email thread (like in Outlook Express) still not possible. There are some possibilies to show things like an email thread in Ol 2003, but none of them is suitable. 7. Ol 2003 often "thinks" I double clicked, when I do a left click. This is really only in Ol 2003 the case, and not in other applications 8. In the VBA editor when I press F1, the tab where I can type in a question or a word or view the contents of the help is missing??? Where is it. Well, I can go to the Help menu and another window is open. Why has this been split to 2 windows, and if I click at one of the help windows, the other get hidden by Outlook. That is unusable. And the search window is always top most. That is not usable, too. 9. The design: it is a mixture of the old and a new style, but it is not really a good design. The elements itself are good, but the mixture is a little mess: old buttons, scrollbars in the dialogs, new buttons in the toolbar. old list header in dialog boxes. new (or what ever) list header in the mail view. 10. changing the view seems to be slower. 11. I did not succed to get rid of the Outlook tray icon(s). and where are real the improvements? the junk email is one and the icons look smarter, I can store pictures in the contacts (well this was possibel in Ol XP as well) The calender view has been improved.

3. OL 2003 Calendar Invitations Not Received by OL 2002
I am sending my OL 2002 (XP) colleagues meeting invitations, but the calendar event never reaches their inbox. What is strange is that meeting updates to the same calendar events DO reach their inbox. Why is the original meeting request not making it through?

5. Migrating Backwards - from OL 2003 to OL 2002
I know it's unusual but I need to migrate backwards from 2003 to 2002. When exporting the 2003 .pst and then importing to 2002 an error of "not compatible" occurs. Is there a backwards migration tool or any suggestions (other than emailing all my stuff from 2003 system to the 2002 system). FYI - the 2003 is a personal laptop and the 2002 is on the corporate system.
6. Upgrade OL 2002 XP to OL Office 2003 or go to Office 2007 when one - Microsoft Office Outlook
7. New/Incoming Mail Notifications: OL 2002 vs OL 2003
Hello all, In OL 2002 (with & without MS Exchange Server), the notifications for new mail was play a sound, change mouse cursor, and display a message box. They all worked fine. They even worked for messages that had rules to move to other mail folders when they came in. A message would come into the Inbox, all the notifications would occur, the message would be moved to appropriate folder because of rule. If I clicked yes on the message box, the moved message would open from it's new location. But now in OL 2003 (w/ MS Exchange--haven't tested w/o), I can only get the notifications on the Inbox. For any messages that are moved to other folders because of rules, no notifications occur. Is there any work-around to get notifications on messages that get moved to other folders? Thanks for any help anyone can provide, Conan Kelly
