Outlook Contacts search very slow in Palm Treo 750v

While trying to search a contact from the Outlook Address Book to send a mail through BlackBerry the address retrival takes ages to happen. Is this a problem with BlackBerry Connect or Windows Mobile.

While searching the contacts for SMS or making a call the search is quite faster but when I try to open the contacts list from the Blackberry reply mail option it takes ages to open (approximately around 2 to 3 minutes) and then browsing through the contacts itself is quite slower . This problem does not arise in nromal operations.

For any updates for your device, 750V, you need to go to the support page for your device on the European website.
Here is the link to the Treo 750V update page. Look on your Treo and see if yours is up to date. It does not state that it is an update to Winmo6.

I tried this link and it doesn't work.
Enter the following in a Google search for the update page;
treo 750v update
The first link will be to the kb.palm.com website for the update.

does anyone have the same problem?

Hello gracia.stephanie,
It may help to force close all open apps, then reset your iPod Touch.

If the slowness continues, the next step would be to restore the device.

Lync 2013 Outlook Contact Search format

I was wondering if Lync can display the Outlook contacts by 'File As' format (defaulted to last name, first name) instead of using the 'Display Name'?
I know that you can change the default format of the Display name to do last name, first name, but that doesn't change all the existing ones to that format.
Is there a way you can tell Lync to display the 'File As' field for your Outlook Contacts?

No, it is not a native feature.
Lync retrieve the address book from AD, the contact information will display the Display name attribute of AD account.

Search very slow

Hi,
I'm searching for messages in a message folder ("Inbox", 72 MB, about 100 messages) with a given message ID:
SearchTerm st = new HeaderTerm("Message-ID", messageId);
Message[] msgs = folder.search(st);This search lasts about 1 minute and more. I think the message file is a very small one. What can I do to speed up this search?

I'm going to take a 'shot' at this.
By default I believe the folder.search(SearchTerm) method does a getMessages() call (which would be pretty slow with the numbers you have given).
Are you using POP3 or IMAP?
I'm assuming you are using POP3 as the IMAP provider uses the IMAP server's search capabilities and POP3 uses the default method mentioned above.
If you aren't using POP3 and my assumptions are completely wrong, it could be an issue with the mail server (try connecting with telnet and sending the appropriate commands that way).
Let me know either way

Help with very slow old palm desktop 1.0 for MAC

No device
Hi- I am a happy user of Palm m515, and hot synch it to a very old Mac that runs palmpilot desktop 1.0 , cause I like the printouts. Recently, it would start to open the desktop, but it wouldn't open, I think due to out of memory. I purged calendar and todo from my handheld (which I had not done for years), and hot synced it. Address book & memos synced normally, and the syncing of todo's took hours, and I'm not sure it was successful. However, afterwords, I was able to re-open the desktop, and it works, but it is painfully slow, basically not functional.
I realize this is legacy stuff, but if there is anyone out there who has suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.
And, I have an old iMac G5 that I am about to retire and buy a new iMac, and if anyone has suggestions for replacing the handheld with one that will run a good todo/task program (and recommendation for that one), also much appreciated.
And if there is a way for me to transfer the data from handheld m515 to my new iMac?
Thanks

I had an identical experience when I first got my handheld - the palm software wouldn't install on my iMac properly - the same error came up every time, and while it had successfully installed the desktop, hotsync manager was sadly missing. I spent hours playing with it to no avail, and the only solution I found was using it on my macbook running 10.5x (as opposed to 10.2.8). However, the date on the installer (2002) reflects the last time it was updated, which means that it should run with no difficulty on any machine since then. The .sit compression has nothing to do with it - it is one of the most common compression formats for the macintosh platform. It might help if you posted the exact error message you got, but a fairly common fix is to repair disk permissions for your hard drive in disk utility.
Hope this helps

Search very slow for one Mailbox

I am running GW 7.03 on NetWare 6.5 SP7 server. I have one mailbox that is about 1 GB in size and when I search the text in the message, it takes very long time (sometime longer than 5 minutes and still no result return). This only happen since last week.
I ran the GW mailbox maintenance and reindex the mailbox but the search speed does not improve.
I noticed the line saying "BOX COUNT VIOLATORS- count > 500, what does that mean?
Below is the GWCHECK result, can anyone suggest what could be the cause of the delay.

I have a test GW8 test running on NW6.5 SP7. I got to the web console port 7181, Configuration tab, QUickfinder indexing page and enter the FID i.e. m9k in the Beginning & user user FID fields and pressed <Submit>.
On the NetWare POA console, I press Ctrl+Shift+Q and I saw the message:
Connection refused [8925] see GWDCA.log
QuickFinder indexing thread finished
QuickFinder index Rebuild
QuickFinder index update
Question 1:
Is the process same on GW7 & GW8?
Question 2:
How can I tell the indexing is complete?
Question 3:
If I do it via the Web Console, do I need to restart POA?
Question 4:
Would the steps above be similar to what TID 3105742 will do.
Thanks again.

Attachment Uploads in Outlook 2011 are Very Slow

I have noticed that if I attach a large file in the Outlook client, a 5-10MB file can take 10Mins. If I attach the same file using the web interface (Chrome OWA), the file uploads in seconds.
We use Exchange 2010. I'm on a MacBook Pro, current model with latest Lion installed.
Any help appreciated.

I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software as it's their applicadtions you're having issues with and Apple Communities only provide suport for Apple products:

Firefox3.8.6 VERY slow starting up. Is it antagonistic to InternetExplorer which is dormant on my PC.Outlook Expressis also very slow

Both FF and IE are present on my laptop. I never use IE for browsing, but some websites open it for special purposes (BT for example in their Broadband help mode). I have wireless BB. At startup both FF and OE take forever to load. I seems independent of time of day or BB up/download speed, which BB is sometimes as slow as 0.5 meg and never exceeds 4.5. Uniblue Registry cleaner also sometimes freezes everything.

Do you have Java Quick start enabled?

ICal VERY slow

Hello,
iCal has been giving me a lot of problems, when I turn it on it takes about 10 minutes for the little beach ball to stop spinning and it finally pulls up the calendars. I have 2 subscriptions and 1 publish calendars, when I do "refresh" it also takes about 5 minutes. I have about 5 calendars in total, dating back to about 2 years ago with information. I used to run this on my 3 year old PowerBook G4 12 inch laptop and it NEVER took so long, on this brand new MacBook it's been this slow.
Lastly, when I sync my iPhone, it gets slow on the CONTACTS and VERY slow when syncing CALENDARS.
Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?
Please, please, please HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is really slowing down my work load.
THANK YOU for reading my post.
Bruce

I just transferred 8 years of data from my palm os to iCal using iSync, in preparation for switching to an iPhone. The transfer went smoothly, but iCal was running way too slowly. The other problem is that I have over 200 completed "to do's" that are showing up and that cannot be deleted. I also found that by closing the to do list, iCal began running much better. I suspect that if I can delete all these unwanted to do's, then it would be OK. I set the preferences to delete completed to do's, but this has not worked. Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

Slow Outlook 2010 Search functionality

Scenario: 20+ RDS 2012, remote application users. Spanning 3 remote locations connected via cloud based firewall for MPLS vpn. Remote users are reporting very slow outlook 2010 search, resulting in freezing and crashing via remote app. Some users have
very large mailboxes some do not. Is there a best practice for outlook via remote app for caching?
How could I increase the search function speed for the remote users?
~SH

Hi,
Initially please check the network speed for your environment?
Have you face this issue before?
Might possible sometime that through VPN tunnel wasnt encapsulating all traffic and thus can face slowness issue and wasn’t passing HTTPS, Outlook, Active Directory and DNS traffic (all of which are encrypted). In addition, you can go through
this article which provide some more insight points for outlook troubleshooting.
- Check for pst-file corruptions
- Disable and then re-enable the file for indexing
- Reset the index
- Reinstall the Windows Search feature
- Check event-viewer for any useful Event ID\error
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
with such simple but important tasks.
I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added.
One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based on your email history and social media accounts setup.
And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list) that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook 2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
random contacts.
From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
(And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave), no results are found at all.
Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields.
Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding their info and
I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing that would prevent them from showing up in results.
These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

Thanks for your reply.
1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book!
In summary:
We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

Using Outlook 2011 for mac and syncing blackberry very slow

I just bought 2 pcs of Mcabook pro. one for me and second for my cousin. we both have same office usage.i have installed office 2011. i use contacts / events / tasks of outlook and sync it with my blackberry curve. previously i was using Windows OS and i am so much used to it with its easy functionalities. Since last 15 days i have not done any work in my office as all time i am just involved in setting up one or another thing in my Macbook. i am really so much fed up and frustrated that i am thinking of switching back to Windows. i have some current issues like
Airport disconnects automatically anytime. after then i have to restart the system that is the only way. it shows as connected but i dont find my home network or internet. after restarting it works !!! it happens 4-5 times in a day...
Sync with blackberry is very slow. i do have Approx 2500 contacts / 300 tasks and 10-15 events. but it takes approx 10 times more time than i was doing with Windows.
in the blackberry desktop manager there is only one option of syncing i.e. Two way sync. what if i only want to transfer data from Macbook to Blackberry or from Blackberry to Macbook?
data sync is not perfect also. every time some entries goes missing.

You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system. Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.

Help! Problems with Outlook Items Not Showing Up on My Palm Treo Calendar

"Previous" appointments and multi-day events on my Outlook calendar don't show up on my Palm Treo 750 following the ActiveSync.

With respect to the past, you can set the period of time to go back. Recurring appointments may appear much further back than specified by this setting.
If you find the dialog that lists four checkboxes for Contacts, Calendar, E-mail, Tasks, select Calendar and click Settings. Here you set the period of time to sync, from 2 weeks to 6 months to forever. (Note: I have WinMo 6.1, so your dialogs/options might be different.)

Outlook Contacts search very slow in Palm Treo 750v
