Indexing problem in outlook 2013

Dear Sir,
I am facing problem in search of email in outlook 2013. earlier I have outlook 2007. I uninstall and got new outlook 2013 version. my old email remain are intact but I am facing problem of search of old email.  when I put any word search, outlook gives
the message that indexing in under progress. in last three days, indexing is not able to complete and same no. of files are being displayed. 

Hi,
May I know how large the data files you use are in Outlook 2013? If the data files are quite large it may take longer time to index.
If the Indexing process is never complete, the Index may be damaged, let's consider to rebuild it. Before we do this, I suggest you run Scanpst.exe to make sure the issue wasn't caused by the data file corruption. The location of this tool depends
on your Outlook version:
32-bit Windows
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
64-bit Windows
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15
64-bit Outlook
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15
Click-to-Run
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15
Open all the data files in Outlook, try to scan and repair them.
After the process above is done, go to Control Panel-> Indexing Options-> Advanced-> button Rebuild
(Type “Indexing” in the Search field of Control Panel to quickly locate the applet.)
This will rebuild the entire Index from scratch and depending on the amount of documents to be indexed, this could take quite long and degrade your system’s performance while the Indexer is still busy.

  • HP Laserjet CM2320 MFP driver problem with Outlook 2013

    Hi,
    The problem starts when you want to print from Outlook 2013 ( Office365 flavour ).
    You can print once. Then Outlook and the printspooler crashes.
    In the print qu you find pages NA and no kb for the printvolume.
    Impossible to delete the printjob normaly.
    Only reboot helps to recover printing possibilitys with the exception of Outlook 2013.
    After consulting HP, we tried to prin with PCL 6 an Post Script drivers with changed, advanced, settings.
    This does not help.
    More then one PC faces this problem.
    Do you have an idea to fix this ?
    Best regards
    Paul

    Hi Paul,
    It might be that the 'OutlPrnt' is corrupted on your computer. This is the file where Outlook keeps its printing style settings.
    Please try to recover from this by renaming the OutlPrnt file to .old when Outlook is closed and verify the results. You can find the file in %Appdata%/microsoft/outlook.

  • Problems using Outlook 2013 with Exchange Server Small Business Server 2003

    Hello,
    We have just upgraded our Office suite from Office 2007 Pro to Office 2013 Pro.  When I try to configure Outlook 2013 to connect to Exchange Server 6.5 (SMS 2003) I get an error "Outlook 2013 being blocked by current version of Exchange Server".
     Outlook 2013 at present is not communicating with Exchange server 6.5
    Are there any fixes I have to install on our SMS 2003 server to allow Outlook 2013 to work with SMS 2003 Exchange Server?
    Any configuration changes I need to make?  Any help is appreciated.

  • Problems with Outlook 2013 Rule Limits

    I have recently run into the Outlook 2013 limit on the number of rules you can have.
    The main reason for this is that I have a sub-folder into which all emails from work colleagues get moved to. For each work contact I therefore have a rule that says 'If from x contact, move to x folder'.  I now however have too many contacts and too many
    active rules that this set-up no longer works.
    Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
    I wondered if I could put all my contacts into a contact group and then base the rule on the contact group but unfortunately contact groups do not sync on my phone (Windows Phone 8.1) therefore I would not see them there.
    Thanks.

    Hi Maracles,
    Based on my knowledge, there is no number limitation for Inbox rule in Outlook. Instead, there is a limit size for Exchange mailbox. The rules size limit for mailboxes in Exchange Server 2007 (and later) has a default size of 64 KB per mailbox.
    Additionally, the total rules size limit is also customizable limit up to 256 KB per mailbox. We can contact your Exchange Administrator to increase the rule Quota for your mailbox:
    Set-Mailbox [email protected] -RulesQuota:256kb
    Personal suggestion, I noticed that the rule is created for each Contacts. It would be convenient to read every message from each contacts. In Outlook, there is another workaround to achieve this. We can directly set the Inbox view by From, then all
    items in Inbox folder can be viewed by each sender. It is easier to manage all items.

  • Problems with Outlook 2013 and Windows 8.1 with Exchange 2013

    I just got started with testing Exchange 2013. My lab consists of 2 Exchange 2013 Servers, the Installation Media is the Exchange 2013 SP1 from MSDN, Server 2012 R2 and 2 Windows 8.1 Clients with Office 2013 SP 1 with all updates installed. I have configured
    some mailboxes in Exchange and I want now to configure Outlook. So at the initial startup Outlook displays the correct Name and Mail Address. When I click next I make it to Logging on the mail server and then I am getting the Error : The connection to Microsoft
    Exchange is unavailable. Your Network adapter does not have a default Gateway. All servers are in the network 192.168.5.0 /24. Any suggestions how can I fix this problem ?

  • Problem connecting outlook 2013 to exchange server

    Hello,
    I recently bought a new windows laptop for emailing (our company is otherwise only using Mac).
    Setting up Outlook with the intended email address failed, and at this point, when clicking Outlook, I get the following message:
    "The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be be online or connected to complete this action."
    The only option is to click "ok".
    The following window is then opened:
    "Microsoft Exchange"
    It has only one tab, containing:
    "Microsoft Exchange server" window, in which I've entered the server address.
    "Mailbox" window, in which I've entered the email address. There is a button called "Check Name".
    If clicked, the following message shows up:
    "The name can not be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."
    By clicking "ok" anyway, the following message appears:
    "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file C:\xxxxxxxxxxx.ost is not an Outlook datafile (.ost)."
    The problem seems to be that there is nothing I can do to change these messages. I have access to the correct server name, address etc.
    What to do?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi Scout,
    Thank you for your question.
    As Ronomatic said, we could clear the present profile and re-build profile by the following link:

  • E-mail sending problem in Outlook 2013

    Hi. I have 7 POP e-mail addresses. When I receive an e-mail and click on reply I want to send it from that account. I do not want to use default account. Isn't  there any way setting  it up automatically ? Should I pick it manually each time
    ? I am not good on such technical issues. I am 62 :) Thanks.

    Outlook replies using the account that downloaded the message. As long as the address is set up as an account in outlook and downloaded the message, outlook should reply from the account - but if you use a catchall account, the account that downloaded
    the message is used.

    Hi,
    This issue can be caused by following factors:
    Exchange issue.
    Corrupted user profile
    Unstable network connections
    To find the root cause of the issue, please try following steps to see what’s going on:
    Step 1: Please try to log on your account by using OWA. If the issue still persists, please contact your exchange server admin to check your account.
    Step 2: Please rename the OST file under C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook and restart your Outlook, it will be recreated.

  • Acrobat XI email attachment does not appear to work with Outlook 2013 64 bit

    When attempting to send email from Acrobat, the following Microsoft Office Outlook 2013 64 bit error message is received: 
    "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request.  Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default email client."
    Naturally, Outlook was set as default client and then reset for good measure.  I did both Outlook and Acrobat repairs and have the latest 11.0.2 installed.  All other internal Office 2013 email applications work as well as seemingly all other embedded Acrobat funcitions with Office 2013 work well.  Office 2010 64 bit and Acrobat X worked fine.  I upgraded to Office 2013 64 bit and had the problem with Acrobat X.  I then upgraded to Acrobat XI and the issue remained.
    Most importantly, I intalled Office 2013 64 bit on my laptop with Acrobat X.  An the email attachment function works perfectly. 
    So, is there some sort of corrupt MAPI file that I have to overwrite on my desktop that the Ofice and Acrobat repair functions do not fix?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    I am sorry.  In my haste, not only did I attach the link the wrong way, but I also did not specify which solution worked.  My problem was a Click to Run issue.  The portion of the thread that deals with the problem is:
    "HurdleRemove replied on May 16, 2013
    I created a solution for this problem for 64 bit Windows 8 where Outlook 2013 was installed as Click-To-Run.......
    ......A  registry edit will fix the problem with Outlook 2013 click to run  installations and enable Outlook to be set as the default mail client.  This registry edit will for many third party programs eliminate the error "Either  there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot  fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it  as the default mail client." It  worked to resolve the problem where Adobe Acrobat was generating this  error.
    The registry edit is here for Office  2013 64 bit click to run installations that will enable Outlook 2013 to  be recognized by third party applications:
    1. Create registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook
    2. Create String value:
    Bitness
    3. Set the String value for Bitness to:
    x64
    This registry edit is an essential element  necessary to resolve the click to run problem that prevents Outlook 2013  from being set as the default mail client. Although it worked with  Adobe Acrobat, it will not completely resolve the  problem for some third party applications like Kerio Outlook Connecter  where the software developer has a web site that includes extra steps  necessary for a full resolution for the Kerio product. The Kerio web  site includes this registry edit in the context  of resolving the Office 365 problem. However, the registry edit works  with Office 2013 desktop as well. A similar register edit could likely  be made for 32 bit versions but the registry path would not include Wow6432Node. I do not have a 32 bit machine and cannot test a 32 bit solution."

  • Outlook 2013 archiving doesn't work when cached mode is enabled

    Hi All,
    I have a problem in Outlook 2013 which I've been able to replicate on two separate PCs, operating against two separate Exchange servers.  In both cases, archiving of old items does not work in Outlook 2013 when cached mode is enabled.  It works
    fine if cached mode is switched off so I don't believe the problem is related to the archiving settings.
    Has anyone else come across this?
    Thanks,

    Based on my knowledge, Outlook auto archieve setting is stored in registry and only affects on local host.
    If the AutoArchive doesn't work anymore, please refer to the follow article to troubleshoot the issue
    http://www.howto-outlook.com/faq/archivenotworking.htm
    If we are talking about Microsoft Exchange Online Archiving, I think it would run fine when you in Exchange online mode as your expected.

  • "Sent Items" folder can not be synced up in time for Outlook 2013 cache mode

    Hi,
    I found a strange problem in Outlook 2013 cache mode. Hope anyone can help me find out if it is the new design of outlook 2013 or outlook 2013 issue.
    I am using Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013 client. I created two outlook profiles in two machines separately with a same exchange user, the difference for the two profiles is one is in cache mode, and the other is in uncache mode.
    I launched outlook using the profiles in the two machines, go to "Sent Items" folder, I assume there are some messages in this folder in your mailbox, do below steps:
    1. modify one of the messages in the "Sent Items" folder from the profile in cache mode, in this case, the changes to the message will be synced up to the profile which is in uncache mode immediately.
    2. modify another messages in the "Sent Items" folder from the profile in uncache mode, in this case, the changes will never be synced up to the profile in cache mode.
    In the second action above, even if I clicked "Send/Receive" button, and waited for whole night, the changes was not synched up to the cached mode side. The way I can get the latest changes to the "Sent Items" folder is "clear
    offline items" and click "Update folder" or I need to remove and create the profile again.
    All in all, the changes to the items in "Sent Items" folder of Outlook 2013 which was did from cache mode will be synched up to exchange server side immediately, but the changes which was did from exchange server side will
    never be synched up to the cache mode side unless the end-user clear the offline items and update folder or create a new profile again.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
    Best Regards, Emily

    The first behavior is by design even in the previous version of Office.
    "1. modify one of the messages in the "Sent Items" folder from the profile in cache mode, in this case, the changes to the message will be synced up to the profile which is in uncache mode immediately." 
    Uploading local changes ---- By default, when you make a change locally, that change is synced to the server after 15 seconds. When you make another change within those 15 seconds, then the timer is reset again. As now you
    could in theory hold off synchronization indefinitely, there is the maximum timer. This timer is started after the first change that you made and when it reaches 60 seconds, then a synchronization will occur to upload all the changes that you have made thus
    far, no matter how many seconds are left on the upload timer.
    However, in second section, this should be a downloading server changes
    behavior ---- When a server side mailbox change occurs, Outlook is notified by the Exchange server of this change. By default, Outlook will then wait 30 seconds before synchronizing these changes. If there are any other changes occurring
    at the server level within these 30 seconds, then these changes are downloaded at the same time as well.
    At this time, please directly modify the message in sender items folders through Web-based access and then wait over 30 seconds to check if the items changes from cache mode profile. Please also test if we can reproduce that in other folder.
    Let me know the result. Thanks.

  • Outlook 2013 Free/Busy can not retrieve information

    Currently have a problem with Outlook 2013 Free/Busy can not retrieve information.
    All windows updates are installed. 
    Exchange 2007 is being used. 
    Problem started last week. 
    Already Tried without any progress:
    1) Recreated profile (Fixed the issue for 1 week)
    2) Cleanfreebusy ( No longer works for outlook 2013)
    3) /Cleanreminders 
    4) Removed latest updates for outlook 10/02( As requested by Microsoft support, however we found users without this update installed, suffering from the problem) 
    5) Repaired OST file 
    6) Repaired Office 2013 
    Can anyone help it would be much appreciated?

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, Outlook 2013 free/busy cannot retrieve information, please follow these steps: -
    The user has never logged in
    Before any free/busy information is available, the user must have at least a calendar. A calendar will not be created until a user logs into their account.
    The option to publish at some location has been enabled in Calendar options
    In all Outlook versions, the option to publish free/busy information must be unchecked. By default, this option is already unchecked.
    This option is located under
    Tools > Options > Preferences > Calendar Options > Free/busy Options.
    Outlook is using cached browser information
    Outlook Free/busy user HTTP, and therefore borrows information cached by Internet Explorer. It is required to clear the offline cache. This is located under
    Tools > Internet Options > General. In the “Temporary Internet Files”  section, choose the
    “ Delete files” button.
    Internet Explorer settings is not correct
    AN Internet Explorer setting may prevent the .ics file from downloading via HTTPS. In Internet Exporer on the Outlook computer, go to
    Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. In the Security section, the checkbox for “Do not save encrypted pages to disk” should be unchecked.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.

  • Outlook 2013: Cannot insert any attachments into calendar events & tasks

    Hi,
    I encountered a seemingly ridiculous problem: 
    I cannot insert any attachments into calendar events & tasks in
    Outlook 2013 on a Win 8.1 machine. Outlook simply ignores CTRL-V paste actions with files and also all drag&drop actions with files. Does anyone have a solution or similar problems?
    Outlook 2013 runs using an exchange server account (Outlook.com / Office 365) on the machine.
    Even if there is a logic behind this behavior, Outlook should at least inform the user why it rejects inserting the attachment.
    Inserting attachments into e-mails works fine.
    All 3rd party add-ins have been disabled, to avoid interference of an add-in.
    Christian

    Hi,
    This is an known issue, you can refer to the article that our MVP Diane Poremsky wrote:
    Attachments are hidden in Outlook.com tasks and appointments
    http://slipstick.com/outlook/olc-hotmail/attachments-hidden-outlookcom-tasks-contacts-appointments/
    My opinion is, since Outlook.com calendar doesn't support attachments, this may be expected when you are using an Outlook.com account.

  • Outlook 2013 'Not responding' errors

    Hi,
    I'm looking for someone who can help me with an issue that's been the been of my existence for the last couple of weeks/months. I tried every suggestion the Internet has to offer and I'm kinda at the end of my rope here.
    On a couple of our workstation we are experiencing serious problems with outlook 2013. The users who use outlook extensively (administrative and management) get 'not responding' messages at random intervals. This can occour when typing a mail, navigating
    in Outlook,...
    Most problems occur when working in the calendar ans when planning appointments in calendars of other user.
    They all use Windows 7 pro 64b laptops that are no older then a year. When they used outlook 2010 none of them experienced any problems.
    Here's a summation of what i tried already
    - Reinstall office
    - Reinstall OS
    - Replace laptop
    - Latest Update
    - Disable all COM-addins (in outlook and in registry on all levels)
    - Disable hardware acceleration (in outlook and registry)
    - Ran the Outlook FIXIT tool
    - Ran OFFCAT
    None of the diagnostic tools i used reveal any critical errors.
    When i check the log, there is an error but it doesn't reveal any info as to what caused it.

    Hi,
    Which account type are you using? If you are using Exchange server account, please swtich the online/cache Exchange mode to check the result
    Please also check if the Outlook data file size exceed the limit? If so, it may cause some unexpected behavior. Please refer to the following KB article to change the data file size limit:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832925/en-us
    In addition, please have a look at this KB article and try the troubleshooting steps regarding Outlook crash.
