Outlook 2010 e-mail signature missing from reply

Hi!
I have create a signature, and it works fine when creating new emails. But when replying/forwarding, there is no signature attached. And this despite I have attached the signature under options->mail->signatures->Replies/forwards.
I have tried setting it to none, saving, adding it again and also with another very simple plain two word signature, with no result....
I am running Office Professionel Plus 2010 on Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit
I really hope that you have some suggestions, because this is really annoying!
BR Rasmus Hovendal

I had the same problem after upgrading to Outlook 2010, and this was the only place I got a search hit on (with Bing search of course) showing others with the same problem. I think I just found the solution (fixed it for me) so I
thought I would share. There seem to be multiple exchange accounts now (I don't remember if they were there before) in the Signature editing dialog, and each one of them has sig settings. In the "Choose Default Signature: section, for the "Email
Account:" drop down, select "Microsoft Exchange" and pick your sigs, select "Exchange" and select your sigs, and I guess select any others too :).
I am assuming the problem is intermittent depending on who is autopopulated in the "from" section for the email that you are forwarding or replying to, "Exchange" or "Microsoft Exchange", although i don't know the logic of why one would be chosen over
the other.

Email Signatures Missing From Reply and Forwarded Messages

Email signatures do not work for reply and forwarded emails. Signature work normally for emails I write.
I have 4 email accounts and 3 HTML signature identities. For each account I've enabled signatures for reply and forward in the Composition and Addressing menu option. I've tried restarting TB in safe mode by holding shift key. Nothing works. I cannot use signatures for any email accounts or identities for replies and forwards.
Help please. Something is broken. I have latest version of TB.

Anybody can help?

Outlook 2010 - sending mail with attachment - "The system cannot find the file specified"

Hi forum Fellows,
I have the following failure scenario:
1. A user receives an e-mail with an attachment.
2. The user opens the attachment --> Forwards the mail and writes something in the body of the e-mail
3. For whatever reason the user leaves the e-mail and works on something else --> the user comes back to the e-mail an hour or more later.
4. The user then wants to send the e-mail but gets the following error message: "The system cannot find the file specified"
5. The effect is that the user cannot send the e-mail.....
------------------------------ TROUBLESHOOTING -----------------------
- I can see that when the user opens an attachment this attachment is saved in the OutlookTemp folder. Actually, there is a difference between opening the attachment before or after clicking forward on the e-mail.
---- Before: Two files is written to the OutlookTemp folder. For example if the attachment name is FileX.pdf - there will be a FileX.pdf but also a FileX (2).pdf in the folder (if OutlookTemp is empty/do not contain a file with the name FileX.pdf already)
---- After: Only one file is written to OutlookTemp. That is FileX.pdf
- Running Process Monitor when trying to forward the e-mail I can see that Outlook is calling a file that is not in the OutlookTemp folder anymore.
**** To me this is the heart of the issue. For some reason, when a user has an e-mail with an attachment open for an extended period of time (not sure on exactly how long is necessary), files in the OutlookTemp folder is deleted - files that Outlook is depending
on to be there.
- Going with a totally clean OutlookTemp folder does not help.
------------------ NOW WHAT ---------------
- The question now is: Is this by design? Can it be fixed by some Outlook 2010 patch? Or perhaps a group policy/registry setting as a workaround.
------------------------------ TECH. INFO -----------------------

Hello Red Baron,
Although not a complete answer, the way to treat attachments in emails require some discipline:
1. Never open an attachment directly from the email (and NEVER edit it from there). Always save it in a known location as the desktop or (better) in a designated document folder. Then you can proceed as usual, like editing the contents, printing, forwarding
the new version etc.
2. Directly forwarding the attachment is ok, along with additional text in the body of the email.
3. Having any (unsaved) document open for several hours should
never occur. What if there is a power outage?
Bottom line is thus Discipline. This is regardless of Operating System (which might handle temporary files differently).
These are the rules I teach my customers and they never leave any document unsaved for hours ...
Best regards George

Outlook 2010 hangs when opening emails from a certain sender

I have a problem when we a receive a notification email from a certain sender. The email is actually from an internal address within the company. We receive email notifications when we receive a voice mail on our phone system and that email
is what is causing the problems. The email we receive is very basic and just has a small amount of text saying "IP Office Voicemail redirected message". When I try to open the email (or view when the reading pane is enabled) it hang Outlook
for about 20-30 seconds. This happens with every notification email we receive from that address. I tried locking up Outlook when it was hanging to see if I could get any error messages. In Event Viewer I got this:
"The program OUTLOOK.EXE version 14.0.7113.5000 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel."
Things I have tried:
Clean install (of both Office and Windows)
Removing and recreating the Outlook profile
Setting Outlook to "Read all standard mail in plain text"
Updating Windows/Office
Setting our voice mail server to send from a different email address
Opening Outlook in safe mode
We are on a domain with Exchange. This started happening a couple of months ago.
Any ideas as to what I can try next?
Thanks.

Hi JW_IC,
Does this issue occur OWA?
If OWA not hangs, it seems an issue on the Outlook client side.
I found that you have done all operations on the Outlook client side and still not worked.
How about following the error message, "To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel",
to check the problem in the Action Center control panel. Please paste the details without sensitive information for the further troubleshooting.
I suggest updating Outlook 2010 to the latest version for test.
Thanks

Exchange 2013 with Outlook 2010 anywhere - Public Folders disappear from Outlook favourites

Hi,
we have a 3 server Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG published with Forefront TMG.
Outlook 2010 anywhere connection works fine (only anywhere connection is possible, there are no clients in the exchange server AD).
The users are adding public folders to their local Outlook favorites. In about 10% of the Outlook starts, those public folders are missing in the favorites. Local favorites folders are still there, public folders are connected.
After restarting the Outlook a few times, the favorites are back.
Deleting the outlook.xml brought no success, the favorites seem to be saved somewhere on the exchange server.
Outlook 2010 is up to date, all hotfixes are installed.
There are no related entries in servers or clients eventlogs, the logs of the TMG server are normal.
Does anyone have a simular behavior?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
According to your description,it is clear that something got corrupted, but it is hard to say directly what caused it. However, there are a few troubleshooting steps to determine what caused it and you can also make a backup of your Favorite Folders list
so you can easily restore it when it still happens.
Pleaser refer to the following article:

Outlook 2010 won't go back from Working Offline to Online

I am using Windows 7 Outlook 2010. Suddenly today, an icon Working Offline appeared on the Notification Bar. I was not working offline. My email could not receive or send. I rebooted more than a couple of times. I disconnected totally from the wall outlet. It did not succeed. I was and still am able to go online for everything else, just not Outlook. I googled the problem and saw repeatedly that I should go to Send/Receive then Preferences and uncheck Offline. I can't find Preferences anywhere and can't find info about where to find it.
(I am able to check my mail with Verizon Webmail but, of course, that is absolutely not what I want to have to do.)
After one of the times I rebooted, I could no longer access the Outlook Inbox. Then it suddenly appeared again. Right now, it is gone again.
What can I do to correct this????? Would a System Restore help? I hate to do that but I will if I must.
Thanks!!!!!

I would just verify your Server settings for the Verizon e-mail account in Outlook. See this article, since Verizon may have changed some things around that caused it to go offline for you. Likely, Outlook cannot connect to the server which you can most likely find out by doing a Send and Receive.

Outlook 2010 requires entry of a FROM address with every email!

Friends:
I have a user on Outlook 2010 SP2. He has begun getting asked for a FROM address whenever he replies to a message or forwards a message:
This does NOT happen when creating a NEW message.
Note that the From field is visible on the draft email and it DOES contain the sender's email address.
I have checked the registry and removed the Forceaccountselection key, but that has not fixed it.
This is a pretty disruptive problem!
By the way, I think that the problem might have arisen when another tech had him do something in his registry, but I don't really know....
Thanks!
Micah

Hi,
Does this issue happen to all emails or a certain email?
Does this issue continue in webmail?
Please also check if this issue persists if we create a new mail profile in Control Panel. See:

Please let me know the result.

Excahgne 2013 outlook 2010 don't update folders from exchange server, from owa send and receive is ok

I have exchange 2013 server, with database for each department last week we have power problem, servers down
after servers goes on line, i have database with dirty shutdown, cant mount it, then i do eseutil/p, then i mount it, then all users access there mails from outlook 2010 they can send and receive, except one user cant receive new mail to outlook but he can

i try to repair exchange database again, but the same problem
i try to move it to another database or another server but move fail
if i use outlook online (remove use cached mode) its receive new mails.
Any help?
Thanks

Hi,
What’s the user impact? If the issue only occur on specific users, I suggest we firstly take the troubleshooting from the client side.
If the issue occurs to all the users, it’s seems the Outlook sync issue with the CAS server, not like a database issue. Do you configure the NLB for the CAS server?
Thanks,

Outlook 2010 duplicates mail with setting Leave mail on sever, Delete After n days and pressing Send/Receive All folders

The setting Leave mail on the server and Delete after n days and Pressing Send/Receive all folders causes outlook 2010 to duplicate all mails of the last n days over and over again.
If I leave outlook 2010 open this problem does not occur, mail will be retreived without a problem. If I leave Outlook 2010 open for a long time and then press Send/Receive all folders it does work ok. If I restart Outlook 2010 and then press Send/Receive
all folders the problem occurs.
The pst file is a new one. OTher mail accounts that do have Leave mail on the server but not Remove after n days do not have the duplicating behaviour.
I have manually removed 6400 duplicate mails, if Microsoft does not solve this urgent problem soon I need to remove Office 2010 from my computer and go back to Office 2007, Office 2007 worked fine for me.
Is there a solution fir this problem, or a free tool to remove all duplicates?

Dear Pieter,
I suggest creating a new Outlook profile, and create the problematic account in the new profile, to see if the problem occurs.
Here are the detailed steps on how to create a new profile to test this issue
==============
1.    Exit
Outlook.
2.    Go to
Start > Control Panel, click or double-click
Mail.
Mail appears in different Control Panel locations depending upon the version of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Control Panel view selected,
and whether a 32- or 64-bit operating system or version of Outlook is installed.
The easiest way to locate
Mail is to open Control Panel in Windows, and then in the
Search box at the top of window, type Mail. In
Control Panel for Windows XP, type Mail in the
Address box.
Note    The Mail icon appears after Outlook starts for the first time.
The title bar of the Mail Setup dialog box contains the name of the current profile. To select a different existing profile, click Show Profiles, select
the profile name, and then click Properties.
3.    Click
Show Profiles. Choose Prompt for a profile to be used.
4.    Click
Add.
5.    Type a name for the profile, and then click
OK. Please also follow the onscreen instructions to create the email account in this profile.
6.    Start
Outlook, and choose this new profile.
If this problem does not occur in the new Outlook profile, the old Outlook is corrupted. We can delete that and use a new Outlook profile.
Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. If anything is unclear or if there is anything
I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

Outlook 2010 Instant Search STILL Missing Emails

This has been an ongoing problem and has our (quite large) IT group stumped. After extensive internet research, I found only one instance in the MS Tech Forum where someone had the same issue and it was never resolved (submitted June 18, 2010 by manwithnoname).
The MS Outlook 2010 running on our company Exchange will miss emails when performing an instant search. Even emails sitting in the window with clearly displayed matching search criteria. It doesn't seem to matter if the email(s) are new, old, or inbetween
nor current folder or in another. My IT has extensively run through all the fixes including rebuilding indexes, reinstalling Outlook, creating a fresh pst file, including all the fixes suggested in "manwithnoname"'s suggested fixes, all to
no help. My IT group has passed this problem throughout the group till it stumped even the most experienced person, who finally just pronounced it, "Another MS bug."
I have found others on the 'net have had similar results but never successful solutions.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!? It means I can't trust any of my search efforts and is causing frustrating drains on productivity.
I suspect that there are many Outlook users that are ignorant of this issue occurring and may be causing errors in work tasks. If Microsoft cannot provide a working solution, who can?!?! Please help!

I appreciate the response and the reference articles. I will look at them.
I understand about the partial strings as I need to use wildcards if I suspect it's not catching emails I know are available. I am using typical search strings that usually work without problems. e.g. search for JY01 (which is part of a document number)
yields search results with no problem. Search for M000, no dice even though I know and can sometimes see the emails with M000 in the subject line. The difference between "0" and "O" is not causing an issue.
One aspect of the problem I've witnessed is it will find some emails with the search criteria but not all. This makes the search unreliable and untrustworthy. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using instant search or advanced search.
If anyone else has experienced this, please reply and share your experience.
MICROSOFT Techs, please respond!!!

Outlook 2010 freezes when pasting text from email into filename

I use Microsoft Outlook 2010 (32-bit version), in a 64-bit computer (Dell laptop) using Windows 7 Enterprise, SP1. (I work in a company and can't change what version of the Outlook program I am using.) If I copy text out of an Outlook email,
and then go to save the email by printing it to a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat X Professional, and I try to paste the copied text into the file name I am typing for the email being saved/"printed", then Outlook freezes on me. I've
noted that I can copy text from other programs (such as WordPerfect X3 or Adobe PDF files), and successfully paste them into the file name without Outlook freezing. I can also copy text from an Outlook email, paste it as plain text into a WordPerfect
X3 document, and then copy that same text again out of the WordPerfect X document, and I am able to successfully paste the text into the file name of the email I want to save without Outlook freezing (i.e., moving the text out of Outlook and then back
again to Outlook somehow sanitized the text so it wouldn't freeze Outlook). Note that my office switched from Windows XP to Windows 7 a few weeks ago, and I also received a clean installation of Office at that time. This problem did not exist prior
to the change to Windows 7. Does anyone know what is causing the problem? Is there some setting I need to change in Outlook? (Maybe I had the Outlook setting correct in the old installation of Outlook, but the new Outlook installation wiped
out my prior settings, and the new default setting recently installed is creating the problem?)

Hi,
First please make sure your Office is up-to-date.
I suspect this may be related to some 3rd-party add-ins or the security software, first please run Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if 3rd-party add-ins are related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem copying and pasting in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
Please also disable the anti-virus program temporarily to check if this makes a difference.

Mail appointments missing from emails

Is anyone having issues receiving appointment requests from Windows machines where the appointment date and time is missing by the time you open the email in Mac Mail? The information is there if you open on your email provider's website, just not in Mac Mail.

I am having a similar problem. I tried to move all of the mail folders over from 10.4.10 mail and it shows all of headers but every email is blank with no text at all.
Any one have a fix or know what might be the issue. I did the move twice. One time with going in and using the transfer utility and then i did it manually.
neither way has worked even though it has said that it copied over a very large amount of information.

Outlook 2010 and Mail Sticking in the Outbox

This is a non-network question for Outlook 2010. I am not using an Exchange server. I am set up at home using Outlook 2010 on a home cable connection. Every time I send an email it hangs in the Outbox. There are no errors.
If I go to the Outbox and send it from there it sends without a problem. I have tested the cable router and line with no problems. Do you think it could be a problems with Outlook itself? Please advise.
Michael T. Glenn

Hi,
I suggest you disable the firewall and anti-virus program to try again, they are more likely to cause this kind of issue.
Moreover, there are several steps that we can try to troubleshoot this issue.
We can start Outlook in Safe Mode to determine if it's 3rd-party add-ins related:
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.
If there’s no problem in Safe Mode, disable the suspicious add-ins to verify which add-ins caused this issue.
Please also run Scanpst.exe to repair your Outlook Data File to check the result:
