Exchange2010/Outlook 2010 text message sync - can this be turned off at a policy level?

It is possible to turn off this feature in the activesync policy on the phone itself, but can this be disabled at a policy level so that any Windows Mobile 6.5 devices cannot sync text messages to the Exchange server or send text messages from Outlook 2010?
We have removed the text message feature from OWA using the set-owavirtualdirectory command, but cannot see a way of removing this feature completely from activesync. Is this not possible for Windows Mobile devices synching with Outlook 2010?

Hi,
Im not sure if somebody in this forum already provided the answer.. To be able to stop the text message sync with outlook for SAMSUNG S3, you can disble it by following this steps:
1) Go to your phone Settings
2) Select "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" under "Accounts"
3) Select "Settings"
4) Select the account you are using in microsoft exchange
5) Scroll down until you reach "Server Settings" then untick "Sync SMS"
Once done, your SMS messages will now never be going to your outlook's inbox.
Hope this helps.

Outlook 2010 rendering messages incorrectly

My Outlook 2010 is rendering my emails in an encrypted format that I can not read. It always had displayed
these messages fine in the past, but about 5 days ago started delivering them like this. They are coming through an IMAP connection with RackSpace. I did recently install and uninstall Office 2013, but am back to 2010. I'm not sure if that is effecting it.
Rackspace provides a simple web client to view messages and I can see there that the messages are rendering
fine. Wondering if anyone else has come across this problem. I have looked everywhere for a solution, but haven't been able to find anything.
I have provided how the message is rendering below. Anything would be helpful! Thank you!

Hi,
Are you receiving any messages in this garbled text, or only from specific senders?
It looks like your mail message got encrypted. Please check with the sender and see if he/she was encrypting the email message.

"Connecting to Printer" in Outlook 2010 sends message window to back.

I have a client experiencing a peculiar issue in Outlook 2010 that only occurs when particular Brother printers are set as their default. A HL-4140CN or a MFC-9460CDN
If within Outlook they open a message window then click on File | Print they get a brief message "Connecting to Printer" then the Main Outlook window comes to the front, obscuring the Email Message Window that displays the print preview and options.
It's possible to switch back and print but it's a nuisance and confusing for some users.
This situation appears to be intermittent. Sometimes the "Connecting to Printer" message does not appear and in this case the peculiar behaviour doesn't appear.
I don't know what changes to require the "Connecting to Printer" message but I do know that it can be removed by changing the default to the third printer in the office, an MFC-9440CN or by switching the Printer driver to a BR-Script version.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi,
Did you use the same user account to logon another client computer and check whether still encounter the same
issue? Please refer to following thread and check if can help you.
Outlook
- Email minimises when you go to File > Print
àI do know that
it can be removed by changing the default to the third printer in the office, an MFC-9440CN or by switching the Printer driver to a BR-Script version.
Based on your description, the issue can be solved by switching the printer driver. There seems has issue in
printer driver. Please check if latest printer drivers need to be installed. I suggest that you should install the driver which help to remove
"Connecting to Printer" message, then check if this issue occurred
again.
If anything I misunderstand or any update, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Hope this helps.

Justin Gu

Outlook 2010 error message

Outlook 2010 - 550 error message to several standalone laptops using the IMAP server
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

These three laptops have been communicating back and forth together for more than 6 months. REceving from these laptops is not a problem only sending has become a problem as of today. Why would outgoing
messaages suddenly produce these error messages? The only way for me to send any messages out is to go to a my Eudora and send them through gmail.com. Perhaps you would explain what I need to do.

Hi,
"Sever error 550" usually happens when you try to use an SMTP server that you do not have permissions to send through. Please try to enable the
SMTP authentication and try again. To do this, click File > Info > Account Settings > Account Settings > Double-click your IMAP account > Click
More Settings button > In the Internet Email Settings
wizard, click on "Outgoing server" tab and tick "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and select “Use same settings as my incoming mail server”.
Click OK and follow the wizard to finish the change.
For more information about "Server error: 550", please refer:

Outlook 2010 Moves message directly to Deleted Items - How can I determine why this has happened?

Has anyone see this before? – using a PHP script to send mail (uses SMTP authentication). For me it works perfect, for my client (who has Outlook 2010) the email goes direct to the Deleted Items folder. I’ve not seen that behaviour before.
I have Outlook 2007 and it seems fine on that.
Email is plain text, from address is in ‘Always allow..’ list – there is a ‘Reply-To’ header which is set to the email of the contact which is different to the ‘From’ and ‘Sender’ headers which are
set to the clients email address. The conversation has not been 'ignored'.
To muddy the water, script is installed on another server and it works fine from there to my client.
Is there anyway of determining how Outlook 2010 recognises what is Junk and what is not?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Adge

I have the same problem - user has Outlook 2010 on Exchange 2007. Mail goes directly into the deleted items folder. After browsing around the net I found 2 different site with the same potential fix. It seems that when migrating a user from Exch 2003 to
2007 (which we did) some of the configs get set incorrectly. The weird thing is we migrated over 2 years ago, and some others are experiencing the same after a long period after the migration. The fix that was suggested is:
Go to your Exch server, open up Exchange Management Shell and type the following:
get-mailboxcalendarsettings "domain/ou/user" | fl
set-mailboxcalendarsettings "doman/ou/user" -automateprocessing: Autoupdate
My user already had Autoupdate set, but this seems to have fixed it for me...

Outlook 2010 "losing messages"

Outlook 2010 SP2
Exchange 2010 SP2
Client domain joined
AutoArchive disabled (completely via GPO, the option doesn't even exist in Outlook anymore as result)
Outlook view reset
User has email disappearing from inbox in Outlook. but it still exists in OWA.
First instance, 3 weeks of November went missing, this was corrected by deleting OST, then allowing Outlook to recreate. A week later, 2 weeks in December went missing.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I was thinking if a filter could be the cause, but you have tried resetting View... How did you reset View? If you just tried VIEW tab -> Reset View, I suggest you run Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews" to deeply clean the views.
I assume you have any 3rd-party add-ins? Please check if there are any suspicious add-ins which may cause this issue, especially these add-ins which may have effect on your Outlook Data File(.ost or .pst file).
Please also run Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan your system, check if there are any malware that may cause this issue:

ICloud mail in Outlook 2010

Outlook 2013 - Lost Ability to Send Text Messages - Exchange 2010

Hi Folks,
I have an exchange 2010 server that has been up and running for 3+ years. I use MS exchange and Outlook 2010/2013 for receiving and replying to text messages on an Android based phone.
Without upgrading or changing anything, this past week one of my Outlook 2013 clients lost the ability to send or reply to text messages. In Outlook under "Home:New Items" the "New Text Message" option was gone. The exchange account was
still receiving text messages that were sent to the phone. But when I hit reply it said account not setup.
I checked on another computer with an Outlook 2013 client, and it still had the option for "New Text Message". I contacted Outlook support, and they just wasted 45 minutes of my times and said they can't help because exchange was involved.
Now several days later, all my clients have lost the option of "New Text Message". It's not greyed out from the list, it's gone.
Thanks for the help!

If you go to Outlook Properties of a contact and change from "Let Outlook decide the best sending format" to "Send Plain text only", it is supposed to force Outlook to send a Plain text
email
to that contact.
But it is still sending HTML. This is happening with any contact I try this with.
While composing the email I can change it to Plain text manually and that works fine.
Not sure what gives...

Hi,
I recommend that you check the global remote domain setting if set to send plain text.
If not , the remote domain setting will override the change of the contact's properties when sending email out.
More details refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232174(v=exchg.141).aspx
Remote domain settings Remote domains define the settings for outgoing message transfers between the Exchange 2010 organization and domains outside the Active Directory forest. Even if you don't create remote domain entries
for specific domains, there's a predefined remote domain named Default that applies to all remote address spaces (*).
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

Outlook 2010 - Cannot view Plain Text Emails

Client running windows 7 and outlook 2010
Inbound emails in plain text show up with a blank body.
If the user logs into OWA, can see the emails fine
If i open outlook in safe mode, can see the emails fine
If i forward the email to another client, can see the email fine
If i set outlook to view all as plain text, then every email has a blank body
Have tried to disable all add ins
Have tried clean boot
Have tried office repair
Have tried removed Symantec AV from the client.
This is an isolated incident with 1 user out of nearly 1000. I believe this is something local on the computer
Also have tried deleting profile and re-adding
Also - if i set this user up on another machine and configure outlook, they can view the emails fine

Hi,
Since Office 2007, in Outlook the messages are rendered by Word not Internet Explorer. The issue seems to be more related to Word program.
Try disabling all the add-ins in Word.
Then repair Office programs.
Clear the settings by following the steps in the article below:

Rename the NormalEmail.dotm file in the following location:
%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates

Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request-----error Outlook 2010

I've tried EVERYTHING suggested in this link (http://blog.timolthof.com/outlook-no-default-mail-client-error/) and everything google and bing and still this message keeps popping up. Now when I do a windows search for email, I'm not able to view
the email due to this message.
For the record, I am running W7 Ultimate x64 and connected via Excange Server. I do have another system that is running Office 2010 with none of these problems so I don't know if it's related to Exchange though the searches I've done don't allude
to that.
What's up?

Hi,
I understand that when you tried to open Outlook 2010 beta on the Windows 7 64-bit computer, you encountered the following error:
"Either there is not default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
set it as the default mail client."
You have checked the settings under the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
I understand the inconvenience you have encountered and appreciate the time and effort you spent on this issue. Please be assured that I
will try my best to help you.
Now let’s troubleshoot the issue by the suggestions below. Please check the results after each suggestion until the problem is resolved.
Suggestion 1: manually set Outlook 2010 as the default e-mail client on Windows 7:
===================
1.
Click Start.
2.
Type "default programs" in the
Search box.
3.
Click Default Programs under
Programs in the search results.
4.
Now click Set your default programs.
5.
Highlight Microsoft Outlook on the left.
6.
Click Set this program as default.
7.
Click OK.
Suggestion 2: Start the Outlook program in safe mode
==============
1.
Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
Microsoft Office.
2.
Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Outlook program you want to start.
If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Outlook program, we can try
to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
Disable add-ins
Click
File menu, click Options >
Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
Com-in Add.
Check if there are any add-ins,
clear the checkbox to disable them.
Close the Office program and
restart it.
Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
Suggestion 3: Test the issue with a new Windows user account
==============
We can follow the steps in the articles to create a new user account to test the issue. If the problem does not occur in the new user account, some settings
in the old account are corrupted. We can copy the main user files from the old account to the new account, delete the old account, and then continue using the new account.
For the detailed steps on how to create a new user account and copy data from the old account to the new account, you can refer to the following articles:
For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-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.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.
