Outlook201​0 Search finds non-visibl​e email headers?

Dear fellow Turkey-weekenders, I'm trying to help someone configure their new Outlook 2010 email client to work with their existing Verizon POP3 email account.  I believe we've jumped through most of the hoops correctly but have a minor mystery!
After following the Verizon web instructions to set up the Outlook 2010 client we have sent several test email from a completely different machine and email system.  Its apparent that our test emails are being received by the new Outlook 2010 client because outlook displays notifications of them in the lower right of the screen as they come in and we can Search all folders, find them and read them.  However, when click on the Inbox or any other visible folder of the new account within the email client there are no emails visible.  There are simply no headers whatsoever - no sender or subject or any other info.
Another interesting symptom is that the Inbox will correctly display the *number* of incoming messages we've sent or the *number* of unread messages in the Inbox (depending on a setting we found for that) but there are no actual headers visible in the Inbox.  During the client account creation we did request the the pop3 server retain a copy of the emails (for 5 days as recommended in the instructions.)
If it matters, this in a new setup of Outlook 2010 and this is the only instance of any email client set up on this computer.  The account was previously feeding an Outlook Express client on an old computer but that computer is in a different location and has not been turned on all weekend during the setup and testing of our new email client.
Is there a server or client setting that needs to be turned on?  Is there an Outlook 2010 folder that is invisible?  We've tried to look at the properties of the emails when Outlook 2010 Search finds them but there are no indications of what folder they might be in other than the Inbox, where they are certainly not visible.

Solved! (I think )
Sometimes the only option left for a problem is to "Sleep on it!"  Leaving our problem overnight may have helped us solve it.
I believe our problem was in overlooking a detail of the new Outlook 2010 Email Client interface.  By default, Outlook 2010 "groups" all incoming headers by Date (such as "Date: Today", "Date: Yesterday", "Date: [previous weekdays]", "Date: Last Week") and does not necessarily "Expand" the "Date: Today" group by default.  This has the unfortunate effect that a new user looking at their brand new Inbox display will see a line that says "Date: Today" with nothing visible under it.  What is not easily realized is that there is a tiny triangular arrow to the left of the "Date: Today" group heading and it is by default set to the "collapsed" state for "Today."
The "Collapse/Expand" arrows in the new Outlook 2010 interface appear as follows: Hollow white triangle pointing directly to the right indicates a collapse "group."  Solid black triangle pointing slightly down to the right indicates an expanded "group."  The "groups" such as "Date: Today" and "Date: Yesterday" can be expanded or collapsed independently of each other and by default the Outlook client starts out with Today collapsed and Yesterday and groupings beyond "expanded," I believe.
This grouping feature is nice once you get used to it and all kinds of grouping can be turned on or off but I think for all of you supporting Outlook new users, this expand/collapse feature of the email interface will be something to check on when people report that they aren't receiving email or can't see their email!

  • Finding non-visible elements...how?

    It is fairly easy to have shapes that get buried on a page, particularly since duplicate can place a shape off the visible area. You would want do delete any unused elements, but how do you find them?
    Keynote has a feature that lists all elements, so you can at least know one is there if it is not visible. I don't see how to do this in iWeb.
    You can deconstruct the page, moving everything around to see if anything is secretly behind it.
    Any ideas?
    thanks
    bob

    Doing a Command A will expose extra text boxes etc. Usually you can find hidden stuff this way.
    You may have to move things around to find them.
    Temporarily increasing the footer hight will expose anything hidden there.

  • I find the gray striping on my email headers very distracting and want to change the headers to just a white background, rather than the current grey alternate white that displays

    Right now my email headers display in a striped version, with alternate grey highlighting in every other header. I hate this and want to remove it
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == ll the time, seems to be a default

    Here's another trick. Say you want to have each user have a specific theme, something other than default. The user specific settings for Squirrelmail are in /var/db/squirrelmail/data. Each user has a file called username.pref, where username = their actual short username. For the user msmith, it would be msmith.pref. For existing users, you can edit the file and add/modify whatever preferences you want. Set up your Squirrelmail like you want it site wide, and look at your pref file for an example. At my site, I want everyone to have the plain blue theme, and to turn off the alternating colors in the message list. Here are the preferences to do that:
    altindexcolors=0
    chosentheme=../themes/plain_bluetheme.php
    I added those two lines to each users pref file, when they log in next they will have the plain blue theme. They can change it in the "Options" if they wish, but day one they get the plain blue theme.
    For new users that you create through Workgroup Manager, there is a file in that directory called default_pref. That file is a template Workgroup Manager uses when creating a new user in Squirrelmail, so just add the prefs you want in that file, and each new user gets those preferences automatically when they are created.
    There is a plugin that dose something similar called forced_prefs available at the Squirrelmail site, but if you force those prefs, users will not be able to change them if they want. It's also not real simple to use, at least for me. Documentation is pretty sparse as well.

  • Spotlight & Mail Search Not Working After Deleting email Account's '.OfflineCache' File.  How Do I Get Back to Normal?

    Running OSX 10.7.4 and Mail.5.2.
    One of 3 email accounts was constantly trying, but unable to synch.  The rotating splines were turning non-stop but not synching (other two email accounts worked just fine.)  After doing some searching on the internet, I found several articles about this.  Many included the symptom of the "Recovered Messages" constantly being recovered/generated.  I had noticed that I would get some recovered messages on occaision, but had never noticed it to be problematic.  These articles suggested that the ".OfflineCache" file for that email account had been corrupted or the root of my problem.  So, I deleted the .OfflineCach file as per this article...
    Fix OSX Mail Creating Multiple 'Recovered Message
    Well that got my mail working again.  However, I soon noticed that spotlight no longer works and when I try to search mail, it doesn't work.  It will only return a complete email address/contact; it doesn't search the contents of the email.
    I tried to get spotlight to re-index the hard drive.  However, when I try to drag a folder or volume to it, I get the error:
    Since spotlight and mail search have always worked flawlessly for 5 years, I'm confident this is related to having deleted " .OffflineCache" for that particular email account.  However, it seems strange that mail search won't work for the other email accounts.
    Any other tips for getting spotlight back online?
    How about the .OfflineCache file.  Will Mail restore it, replace it on it's own?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also, looking back, not long before this problem started, I was trying to send a single email with numerous pictures ( around 50 or so.)  I forgot to select "medium" for the picture size and it started trying to upload them at full size.  I realized this after a minute or two and cancelled the upload, changed to 'medium' and sent the email with no problem.  I point this out because the "Multiple Recovered Messages" error seems to be related to or being induced by having an excessively large file in the particular mail account's .Offline.Cache file.

    Well, a couple days later and it seems that the .offlinecache has been rebuilt.  Finder, Spotlight, & Mail search all seem to be working normally now!

  • PDF View Search Find Problems

    FInd/search function in PDF view application still not fixed in WebOS 1.4.  In PDF View application:
    1) The field where you enter something to search/find is hidden by the name of the PDF document title.  It doesn't go away even when you start typing, so you can't see what you are typing.
    2) The count of the number of matches found looks greyed out and very hard to read.
    3) The up/down arrows in the top right next to the count of matches does not work.  Shouldn't they take you to each consecutive match?
    4) Why doesn't it position you to page in the document where the first match is found?   It shows the page number at the bottom, but since the up/down arrows at the top right don't work, I have to click the forward page arrow and then the backward page arrow to jump to the page containing the first match.

    If I run the report in Deski, then save it as a PDF on my desktop, it is formatted properly, no problems at all, and no need to point Adobe to any printers.If I view the same report in Infoview it's split into two pages unless I chose "View -> Draft Mode". If I chose "Page Mode" it's split on two pages, if I chose "PDF Mode" (for printing) it's split into two pages and that is a problem....

  • Adobe PostScript 3 problem with 'search' & 'find'?

    We have a new Ricoh copier with Adobe PostScript 3 installed. When we scan a document as a .pdf and send it to an email address, the receiver gets it, opens it ok, but then can't 'search' or find' or copy anywhere on the document.  What is the problem?  Is it the Adobe PostScript 3 software? 
    Please help, as we need to get these documents to 'search', 'find,' and  copy.
    carol forbes, j.d.

    Yes, we know now that the .pdf is a picture image, but how do we correct it?  We've been told it needs OCR (optical Character Recognition), but isn't that included in the software of Adobe PostScript 3?  Please advise.

  • Finding non-DRM'ed content?

    The news said that the iTunes store is now selling non-DRM'ed content.
    I've never been to the iTunes store before, but I went there just now and I didn't see any way to search for non-DRM'ed content. How do I do that?
    Thanks in advance.

    Anyway, one can search for Plus content by checking the box to show only Plus content when doing a Power Search (though there are still glitches in that search). But there's no way to browse only Plus content that I've been able to find.
    Probably something to suggest to Apple. I don't know whether the iTunes feedback page or the iTunes music request page would be the most appropriate for such a request.
    Cheers.

  • Search/Find Confusion on my part....

    I am having difficulty with the search function.
    I have gone ahead and created keywords for my photos, of which there are several thousand in My Pictures.
    I used Find to search My Pictures for Keywords that Contains Drag Racing.
    I included all sub folders and included non-indexed files. The process took a LONG time but did return the shots that I had keyworded as Drag Racing. During that process the message said it was indexing files. Now I assumed that would be a one time process but today I tried the very same search and it's going through the same process of indexing files.
    I thought that since it had already indexed my files, maybe I could do the same search but NOT click the included non-indexed files box. This resulted in another lengthy process of Building Criteria but it to returned the files I wanted and significantly quicker but it still took a minute or so. With the number of shots I have, this is probably a normal time?
    So here's my questions:
    If I have keyworded ALL my shots AND done one search that includes non-indexed files, then future searches do not require checking the non-indexed files?
    Is there a better way to do this? Collections have been mentioned but I am unsure how that works.
    I guess that what has probably prompted these comments is that I used Adobe Elements previously and the creation of "Tags" for your shots allowed virtual immediate retrieval of a particular group of tagged files.

    You are on the right track. Once indexed you can uncheck the search all non-indexed box, or else it just re-indexes again. If you add files you have to re-index, but if you let the thumbs finish building that is the same thing. This is assuming the cache directory is large enough to hold all the information for all the pictures you have.
    The search process can vary depending on number of images and folders. The fewer it has to look through the quicker. So think of best organization of files in folders/directories.
    The Vista OS advanced search will bring up keywords quickly if the directories are on the windows list to be indexed. If you are just looking for the best image you can then right click and open file location.

  • Search/Find within Windows Mail

    Hello,
    I am trying to perform a search within specific emails.  I know there is a general search which scans through all emails, but I just want to search through one email.

    Hi,
    As the Zigzag said,we need to know the mail client.
    If you use Outlook cilent,you can use F4 to open the Find dialog box.
    If you use Mail app,we can use Find function for a single mail.

  • I have tested the search/ find fuctionality on the atuovue version electro mechanical, I want to know if these features are there in Atuovue 2D and 3D.

    I have tested the search/ find fuctionality on the atuovue version electro mechanical, I want to know if these features are there in Atuovue 2D and 3D.

    Hi Negussie,
    The difference between AutoVue Electro-Mechanical Professional and AutoVue 2D Professional is related to file formats supported and functionality which are related to those formats. For example when using Electro-Mechanical you can view all the formats supported by AutoVue (Office, 2D, 3D and EDA formats). When you are using AutoVue 2D you can only view Office and 2D formats. This is the main difference. Now if a functionality exist in Electro-Mechanical related to either Office or 2D formats the same functionality is exactly the same in AutoVue 2D. In your case if all you need to do is view Word documents and search for text you should definitely purchase AutoVue 2D Professional and you will be able to do it the same way you do it with Electro-Mechanical. If you want screenshots from AutoVue 2D Professional you can send me a mail to [email protected] and I can send you the screenshots but you will see the feature is exactly the same.
    Thanks,
    Daniel
