Outlook 2010 - "Cannot Save Attachment" - Network shares, PDF files only

$
0
0

I am encountering a very odd issue where at least two users, when trying to save to any network share, are getting the following error:

"Cannot save the attachment"

That's it.  No error about failing to create the file, just that.

Oddly enough, it only seems to apply to PDF files.  

Things I have done so far:

  • Disabled the preview pane
  • Cleared the content.outlook folder
  • pointed the temp folder to a new folder (called c:\temp0)
  • Cleared folder temp0
  • Tried in both Cached Exchange Mode and without
  • Removed all Windows Updates that occurred within the established time frame that the issue began
  • Rebuilt the PST file
  • Tried saving the file to the network share while bypassing the drive mapping
  • Added the EnableCopyfromEFS DWord to the registry and set value to 1

My next go is probably a complete reinstall of Office, but before I do that I noted the other user.  I'm not aware of any setting at the Exchange level or within the folder permissions that would specifically cause an issue with PDF files.  I'm not engaging Adobe... could it be causing some kind of issue though?


Error during deleting some folders on Outlook

32-Bit and 64-Bit Certificates

$

I have posted this question in the Outlook and Exchange forums and received few replies and no real information. I also posted it in the Windows 7 forum for email and communications, and a Microsoft Support Engineer suggest that I post the question here.

We have a few 32-bit Windows 7 machines left in our environment, and several of them have an odd problem when it comes to email encryption. In Outlook, in the Change Security Settings dialog box (Go to File > Options > Trust Center > Trust Center Settings > Email Security > Settings), when you click either one of theChoose buttons, the Select a Certificate dialog box is empty, even though an email encryption certificate with valid dates is installed on the machine. For some users, this prevents them from being able to send encrypted emails.

I know this can happen if the certificate does not contain a private key, but I have confirmed that the private key is present on all the affected machines.

The only way that I have been able to reproduce this behavior is to export a certificate from a 64-bit machine, and import it on to a 32-bit machine. I believe that in the past some administrators requested certificates from the CA using their 64-bit machines, and then installed them on 32-bit machines, but I cannot verify that for certain.

If I take the email encryption certificate from the user's 32-bit machine and install it on a 64-bit machine, not only is it visible in Outlook, but email encryption starts working for the user.

So I feel that the problem is related to the certificate and the OS type (32-bit or 64-bit). Is it possible to look at a certificate and determine if it is for a 32-bit machine or a 64-bit machine? Does 32-bit vs. 64-bit even matter for email encryption?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer!

Accent "Today" and separate Months

I like so many others are looking for a way to have Calendar open on TODAY whenever I open it. I'm also looking for a way to visually separate or highlight each new month or 1st day of each new month. In reading past posts, it seems to be a common problem in Outlook 2013. Has a solution been found?

Outlook 2013 - Objecting to message "We didn't find anything to show here."

$

I find it offensive that the message "We didn't find anything to show here" is displayed when there are no search results. Who is "we?" This is a computer program,  I am not interfacing with a person. Just display "Nothing found."

As with the disruptive change in look/feel between the "File" interface screens and most of the rest of Outlook, and the use of UPPER CASE words where there is no need for shouting, this "We didn't find anything" seems just as inappropriate as the Windows 8 product in forcing disruptive and bad changes on the user. Very sad and disappointing situation.

Automatically configure Outlook Security Settings to use local certificate for Email Signatures

$

Hi,

I have created an EmailConfiguration GPO which enables autoenrollment of certificates for users, and also sets the Outlook Security Mode to Group Policy.

The email users are getting the certificate pushed down to the workstation but when loading Outlook the Security Settings do not automatically configure themselves to use the local user certificate.

Using the trust center > Email Security I can tell it to use the local certificate, of which there is only one, but I do not want the users to have to do this manual step everytime the log onto a different workstation. Also I am pretty sure that Outlook is meant to do this automatically, especially as I have forced the signing of emails via GPO.

Any assistance/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Force Encryption with specific partners

$
0
0

Hi,

Is there any way (or a third party plugin) you can force the encryption in Outlook when sending to specific partners that i have certificates exchanged with them?

I know Outlook 2010/2013 can do all or nothing but that would be annoying for the users to always press the "Send unencrypted" button when no certificate is available (majority of the time). 

I have users that must send encrypted emails to specific addresses and occasionally they forget to press Encrypt/Sign buttons. 

Thank you


Outlook 2016 cannot open the ost file set

I was just sending an email and noticed that outlook had not updated for over an hour.  I restarted the system and then had the system hang with the Runtime Broker slowing the system.  I searched on line and the suggestion was to stop the runtime broker and reboot.  I did that and now Outlook will not start as there is a problem with the ost file.  This particular email address is an exchange account.  This is the second time in four months that Outlook has damaged it file and the last time I was told to create a new account - this is the new account and now it is failing.  I was already having to click on "UNREAD" to get the sync with exchange - if i did not do that then what ever I did to the new email was not in sync with exchange and I would have to delete any unwanted emails a second time.  This was what was happening the first time that I lost the ost file.  There is a problem with Outlook 2016 and exchange!!!  Do I delete the ost file again???

Hi

We are using Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 against Exchange Server 2007

When someone receives an encrypted email, they are able to view it in the preview pane

In previous versions of Outlook, there has been a hotfix and a registry key to add (DisableEncryptedMessagePreview)

<cite>support.microsoft.com/kb/948983</cite>

<cite>support.microsoft.com/kb/947349</cite>

Does anyone know whether there is a hotfix/workaround yet for Outlook 2010?

Outlook 2010 asking for all PSTs password when receiving a mail with read receipt request

$

Hi,<o:p></o:p>

I have 4 password protected PSTs. 3 of them are old, and just one is active (current mail archiving).<o:p></o:p>

When I open Outlook, as expected, it asks me for the password for the active PST. Thisisunderstandable.<o:p></o:p>

The weird thing is that, whenever I receive mail with read receipt request, when I open that e-mail, before opening it outlook
asks me for the passwords of all the other PSTs (the old ones). I don’t understand why.<o:p></o:p>

I checked my client rules, I don’t have any rule referencing the old PSTs.<o:p></o:p>

Thanks in advance.

Outlook 2010. .ics File opening Issue

$

Hi

Some of our users have found that they are unable to .ics files. The users are working in Citrix/Terminal Services

- If you try to open the .ics file (from explorer), Outlook does not do anything and it does not popup.
- If you do not have the Outlook application open and double click the .ics file, Outlook launches, but does not open the appointment.

But,
- If you open the file by going to File > Open > Open Calendar and select it, it opens fine!

Curiously
- For one user I have tested logging off and back on again, this appeared to resolve the issue (although they had been trying this for a few days to no avail). I have also rebuild their logon profile and this has not worked either.
- For another user, logging off/on doesn’t resolve the issue
- It is not related to an one specific Citrix Server.

- Have tried removing all Outlook Add-ins, but no luck

- I have also checked for the file association and this correct

This guy back in 2013 appears to have the same issues, but no resolution: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28141787/ics-calendar-file-does-not-open-in-outlook-2010.html

Any ideas?

Thanks

Outlook 16 doesn't delete older items based on autoarchive rules

$

I set up an autoarchive setting on my deleted folder, to permanently delete items older than 3 months.

Old items don't get deleted. I even run the autoarchive manually several times, still nothing.

Checked one of the old messages properties, clearly it is older than 3 months and not marked as do not archive:

This item is almost 1 year old, and I have even older than that but they never get deleted.

Any advice?

My other folders move to a local PST file after 6 months, and as far as I noticed even that sometimes works other times doesn't. Some items get moved eventually, but its like the 6 months rule is more of a recommendation than a setting...

Any advice? Anything I'm missing? I've been having this issue for as long as I remember, over 10 years, autoarchive never works as expected, I just figured maybe its time to see if there is a fix for it or if it is a known issue.


Regards, Shai Petel.
