Outlook 2013 is showing verifying Data Integrity

Hi,
When i try to open the outlook 2013,it is not opening and it is showing verifying Data Integrity.
Please let us know how to resolve the issue.
Looking forward for your reply at the earliest
Regards
Pradeep.R

Hi Pradeep,
What type of email account do you use (POP, IMAP, MAPI or Exchange)?
Based on my research, this issue can be caused by the following factors:
Outlook data file (.OST/.PST) corruption issues
Third party add-ins
To troubleshoot this issue, I suggest we first try the following steps:
Try to run Scanpst.exe to repair your Outlook data file and see if it helps. If this is an Exchange account, then you can simply rename the
.ost file to .ost.old or delete it, this will force Outlook to regenerate a new
.ost file and download all the messages from the server again.
Launch Outlook in safe mode and see if issue persists. This will help to determine whether this was caused by any third party add-ins:
Press Win + R and type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, then press
Enter.
Hope this helps.

Verifying Data Integrity Outlook 2010

Hi,
We are using Microsoft SBS2011 including Exchange 2010
one of users could not start his Outlook 2010. the screen shows "Verifying Data Integrity" which takes hours.
I check his .ost file at his computer, which is about 50GB.
Does Outlook 2010 have the capacity limiit?

Hello,
Yes, there are limitations by default. Please see:

Outlook 2013 Images showing red X

In outlook 2013 all the images are showing as a red cross not giving the opportunity to right click them to open or download them. I've emptied the temporary file folder, verified that Outlook secure temp folder exsits and the proxy server authentication
looks okay to me, but it still hasn't made any difference. Any ideas please?

Do you mean the image in message body or the image in contact photo ?
If the formmer, please check the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Cache
Is this the right value? The default one is
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
And we may also try launch Outlook in Safe mode, Outlook takes a different code path and a different API to get the temp folder location.
Thanks.

Outlook 2013 not showing attachment icon even tho there is one.

This quite a weird bug. Outlook 2013 is not showing any icons regarding attachments however there is an attachment!
Why is this happening? Any idea?
Best regards,
Aleksei.

Hi Aleksei,
This might has something to do with your current view setting to your folders. Please check if
Attachment has been added into "Show these columns in this folder" list in
Show Columns dialog:
Select the mail folder
Go to View tab on the ribbon
Go to View Settings>Columns...
Select Attachment from Available columns: list, then click
Add-> button.
Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, Attachment option is already selected and if I scroll down I see the icon on different emails.

Outlook 2013 calendar shows 24 hour time when hovering mouse over appointment

Strange thing is, the computer is not set that way and the calendar's appointments show 12 hour time except when I hover the mouse over the appt. This is Outlook 2013 with Exchange/ Office 365.

Hi,
Please start Outlook in safe mode to check whether the issue persists. If the issue doesn't happen in safe mode, it may be caused by some third-party add-ins. We can enable the add-ins which is disabled in safe mode one by one to find out the main cause.
For more information, please refer to Step 6: Start Outlook in safe mode
in the following KB to check whether the issue is caused by the temporary changes that occur when you start Outlook in safe mode:

Outlook 2013 emails showing sent but not being rec...

Hi all
It appears that for the last few days any emails I have sent have not been received. They are not stuck in my Outbox and are sitting in my Sent items. If I run a test message from my Outlook profile, it sends and one time it has been received back. ic an receive emails from everyone else.
If I send an email from my Iphone for the BT email account ( Bt yahoo) emails are being sent and received.
My iPhone has the outgoing server as YAhoo!SMTP Server and server port 465. My Outlook has mail.btinternet.com and server port 587 as settings. I am using POP not IMAP and made no changes which might have provoked this problem.
This problem has just started suddenly. Probably from about Friday 23rd Jan.
Any advice welcome. I repaired the account in Outlook but this has had no effect.
Windows 8.1 is op system.
many thanks

I think the fault may lie in BT. Have you seen the message displayed on bt.com/help and also on the log on page:
"BT Mail and BT Yahoo issue. We’re aware of a problem that may be preventing some customers from accessing, sending or receiving their emails. We’re sorry about this and are working hard to fix it as soon as possible"
I experienced the problem last week and over the week-end and spent many hours on the 'phone with BT Help people who were very good and, touch wood, it seems to have been resolved. I think it is an issue with the migration from Yahoo to BT mail.

New Outlook 2013 Installation - How to configure for default pop email and access exchange 2003 server for shared folders only

I have successfully installed and configured outlook 2013 to access my pop.integra.net email accounts. We have an 2003 exchange server we use for shared folders which I am having difficulty accessing.
My preference would be to set up my access to the exchange server and use the same data folders for email as are in use for my pop email account. In outlook 2003 this was simple, but in 2007 on up it seems this feature has been hobbled. Is there
a workaround to get both accounts to use the same database?
Next issue is if I use the Mail client wizard under Control Panel to set up access to the exchange server - everything looks fine but when launching outlook I receive the following 2 error messages:
"The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance."
"Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Your Microsoft Exchange administrator has blocked the version of Outlook that your are using. Contact your administrator for assistance."
Obviously the optimal solution is to upgrade the Exchange Server - assuming that is not an option - are there any workarounds?
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Downgraded to Office 2007.
So now have a new Windows 8.1 laptop with outlook 2007 installed.
From what I have been told this should allow me to connect to the Exchange2003 server
I set up the pop account - works fine
set up the exchange account through Mail.exe and am unable to launch outlook.
"Microsoft Exchange is Unavailable"
"Retry - Work Offline - Cancel"
Then
"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened."
The data file path is the same for both the pop account and the exchange account:
C:\Users\Scott\app data\local\microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst
How do I get this to work?
Help!

Outlook 2013 expands wrong subfolder when rules move email

Running Outlook 2013, Windows 7 Pro, exchange email with Office 365 directly from Microsoft.
No other accounts attached.
I have set rules for email from some senders to go to certain subfolders in my inbox.
Email is sorted by date received.
When a new email arrives and is sent to the correct subfolder and indicated by the number of unread emails in the left hand column.
when I open the folder for that sender, Outlook expands the subfolder for 2 days previously, not todays subfolder where the new email resides.
I set each folder completely collapsed when I leave that folder.
This is persistent and repeatable.
For example, I have a folder called "Purchasing" with a subfolder in it called "Apple stuff". When a rule sends a new email to the "Apple stuff" subfolder a small blue number "1" appears beside the "Apple
stuff" subfolder. Assuming today is Tuesday - When I open the "Apple stuff" subfolder the "Date:Today" folder is collapsed, the Date:Yesterday" folder is collapsed, but the "Date:Sunday" folder is expanded. I have
to collapse the "Date:Sunday" folder and open the "Date:Today" folder to see the new email.
Why does Outlook open the day-before-yesterdays sub folder - persistently?
How do I get Outlook to open the correct subfolder, or can I?

Hi,
I'm not able to reproduce this issue on my Outlook 2013, Today and other Dates are all expanded by default.
I'm wondering whether this issue was caused by some 3rd-party add-ins or a corrupted view. We can perform the steps below to troubleshoot this issue:
1. Start Outlook in Safe Mode. Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If then the problem is gone, disable the suspicious add-ins in Outlook to verify which one caused the issue.
2. We can start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews". This will restore default views, all custom views you created will be lost. Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /cleanviews" in the blank box, press Enter.
Check the result and hopefully we can fix it.

How to make Outlook 2013 automatically download all emails?

I have four IMAP email accounts. Currently, my Outlook 2013 only shows new emails when I navigate to the folder they are in. For example, if I navigate to my work email inbox, it suddenly fills with new emails.
Previously, in Outlook 2010, this would be automatically downloaded and the inbox would be refreshed to show a new email. How can I make this happen in Outlook 2013?

Hi,
Please check your settings:
FILE-> Options-> Advanced -> Send and receive, check "Send immediately when connected"
Also, you could set advanced option throught clicking "Send/Receive..."
If the issue persists, please repair your OST/PST file through SCANPST tool, then check the result:

Returning more than 250 search result hits in Outlook 2013

Hi,
I need to search over a very large amount of emails. My searches each have more than 250 hits, and I need to see all results. Currently, Outlook is limiting the number of results to 250.
I have gone to File > Options > Search, and unticked 'Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown'.
I have also amended my registry, per this article:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/669.
I have restarted my machine, but I am still getting only 250 results.
Does anybody have further suggestions that I can try?
Many thanks in advance,
Keith
R K Howard

Hi,
I tested the registry setting, but it didn't work in my environment.
By default, when we do an instant research in Outlook 2013, it shows the first 30 matches. If we click
More below the results, we will get up to 250 results. However, if we clear the 'Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown' option, Outlook will bypass the limit and show all results matched. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/find-a-message-with-instant-search-HA102840067.aspx
Please try to delete the registry and untick the 'Improve search speed by limiting the number of results shown' option, restart your Outlook and then check if the option will be ticked again.
We can also try to run a repair of your Office installation to check if it helps. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-office-programs-HA010357402.aspx
Please let me know the result.

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.

Editing contacts takes ages in Outlook 2013

Hello,
Thanks in advance for reading me.
My situation:
I have about 13 500 contacts in iCloud.
I'm on Windows 8.1 with Outlook 2013 all up to date.
I have the last version of iCloud for Windows.
For the moment, I use a Hotmail mail account.
iCloud Contacts and Calendars are OK in Outlook.
Here is my issue:
These 13 500 contacts are a clients database.
I want to do e mailings for my own little company.
When I want to edit a contact, when I click "close and register" (I have a French Outlook, I think it is named as this in English) it takes more than 10 seconds.
Same when I want to create groups.
So it is totally impossible for me to manage it.
At first, I thought it was due to my Hotmail mail address, so I deleted it and I just let Outlook with the iCloud contacts, same issue.
When I do some editing on my iPad or my iPhone, all is going well but I really need to do it from my computer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Have a nice day.
Olivier.

When I click it, a small window opens, but there is no save option....
Could you please provide a screenshot of the small window opened?
Meanwhile, please try to create a new mail profile in Control Panel > Mail and then reconfigure your email account to check if the issue will be gone. See:

Cannot start Outlook 2013: "name cannot be resolved" / "connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" / "___.ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost)"

My work e-mail has a double-login system, where my credentials for work access are one username and my e-mail is an alias of that first username, so they differ from one another. I suspect that's why I've been having the hardest time with Outlook 2013. I
was able to add my account just fine once but changed my mind about using Outlook and removed the account. Now I can't get back into Outlook for the life of me. The error messages that show up are:
1. It asks me to verify server and Mailbox. I've tried it with both usernames (the official work username and the e-mail alias) as my Mailbox info, followed by the email domain (even tried it without the domain) and it still won't verify when I click "Check
Name".
2. This message comes up: The name cannot be resolved. The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
3. Then once I click "OK" another pop-up says: Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. The file C:\Users\FirstLastname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\FirstLastname.ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost).
Help?

Outlook 2013 Imported .CSV calendar events only show in List view

I've been attempting to create a new calendar of events by importing a .CSV file. I can import the file but the data only shows up in the LIST view. This is the format of the data I'm importing:
Subject
Start Date
Start Time
End Date
End Time
All Day Event
Show Time As
Coach Clinic
3/7/2010
8:00:00 AM
3/7/2010
5:00:00 PM
FALSE
0
I'm using Outlook 2013 desktop on Windows 7, the .CSV file was exported (saved as) from Excel 2013 file.
Why can't I see this data in calendar view.

Create a CSV with the same format as you post and import it into My default Calendar. The calendar entry is visible both in Calendar view and List view.
I've notice your Start Data/End Date is 3/7/2010 but not in 3/7/2014, you need to turn the calendar page to a 4-year-ago to check that..
(In my test, I'v changed the data to 2014)

Some Outlook tasks only showing up in Outlook Web App, even if they were entered in Outlook 2013 or on the iOS email client.

A user creates tasks in Outlook 2013, his Exchange email account on his iPhone and in the Outlook Web App (Not Outlook.com). A small number of these tasks will only show up in the Outlook Web App, though, no matter which platform he entered the
task from. He can enter a task in Outlook 2013 and it might not show up on the task list in Outlook 2013 or IOS after that, but WILL show up in the outlook Web App task list.
At first I thought sorting was the issue, but we compared all tasks in both Outlook 2013 and OWA, sorted by due date, and, sure enough, some were missing from 2013.
What I am not sure of:
If/how long a task will be visible on the platform it was submitted before it begins only appearing in OWA.
How long ago this started
I couldn't find this issue in the community or with a quick google search.
I am going to see when he is available to sit down and go through tasks to see if there is a pattern and try replicate it so I can see how long it might be available on the submitting platform before disappearing.
I can provide any other info needed. Thoughts on this issue?

Hi,
I would suggest you reset the view if you found some tasks in Outlook missing.
VIEW tab -> Reset View.
Or we can simply start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews"(Restores default views. All custom views that you created are lost):
Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /cleanviews” in the blank box, then press Enter.
Check if this helps you find the missing tasks.
