How to Avoid Losing Data In Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook is an email client (Mail User Agent to some) which I'm sure you know what it does. If not, let me try to explain it as simply as possible. Email clients are programs or application's which retrieves emails from the web server and downloads it onto your desktop.

Now with that out of the way, did you know that you can lose your mails because of your email client? This is a big deal as email is now a large part of communication both in the corporate world and the private/home user.

How can you lose your emails?

When you use email clients, you risk losing your email just like any other data on your desktop. Here is a list:

- Virus attack
- Corrupted partitions/volumes
- Deletion/Format
- Hard Disk Crash
- Theft/natural disaster

In Microsoft Outlook versions 2003, 2002, 98 and 97, once Outlook's PST file size goes above 2gb, your emails, or rather, the PST file, gets corrupted.

- PST corruption

Installation of anti-virus/anti-spyware

Prevention of viruses, spyware and basically all malware is important as they cause your system and programs to become sluggish, unstable and perform undesirable operations.

And since when you use Microsoft outlook, your emails will get affected as the mails on the server gets downloaded onto your computer.

- Install anti-virus/anti-spyware and update frequently

Anti-virus/anti-spyware is available widely and should often be updated for the latest updates and patches.

Use it to scan you computer, and to scan ALL emails if they contain attachments.

Never download anything directly to your computer unless you are certain of the reliability and credibility of its source.

Backup

The most reliable way to prevent the loss of your Outlook emails is to backup your PST file. To do this, simply copy your PST to another storage media (such as your thumb drive) or another drive on the same computer.

The PST file can be found by simply opening the search function (go to start menu and you can find the search function there) and copy and paste this term into the search box " .pst " without the double quotes.

Wait for the search finish. The default .pst file name is outlook.pst. Then just copy and paste the .pst file onto your backup media. Backup frequently, as you may never know when the outlook files (or any other important files for that matter) gets accidentally deleted, formatted or corrupted.

Computer Maintenance

Although this should already part of your routine, it bears reminding again. You should maintain your system by defragmenting, running scandsk and so on. This is basic maintenance for your computer as it can help prevent file system problems. It also enables your system to run smoothly and prevent system slowdown.

Here is a slew of other maintenance tips for you to look into

Outlook housekeeping

Yes, even in outlook, you need to do some basic maintenance. This is done to prevent your .PST file from getting corrupted.

Before outlook 2003 (and in earlier versions of outlook 2003), the .PST file limit was set at 2GB. If the .PST file size exceeded this limit, it would be very difficult, if at all possible, to retrieve any data from the .PST file as it would get corrupted.

When you are doing housekeeping, you are trying to keep this limit down and at the same time, helps in organising you mails so that they are easier to retrieve when you need to read them again.

How do you do that? Simple.

Delete all the old mails that you do not need, and remember to empty the trash. Categorise all your mails accordingly. For example, all your work folders should be in a separate folder from you personal emails and so on.

Create a NEW pst file

Another way to keep control of your PST file size is to create another .PST file. Of course, don't create a new .PST file for the sake of creating one.

Have separate .PST files for business and personal mails. To create this a new .PST file, simply open outlook and follow these steps:

1.Go to File menu, to New, and then click Outlook Data File
2. In the next window, you should see two options. Simply choose Office Outlook Personal Folders file. In Outlook 2003, there is an option to increase compatibility with older outlook versions, choose the Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders File option. Click Ok
3. Then choose an appropriate location to save your new .PST in. Choose a location, and the type in the filename of your new .PST file.

And there you have it. A new .PST file, all ready for use.

In actual fact, prevention of lost Outlook mails is not hard. However, you need to be constantly maintaining your system and backing up your mails which take up precious time. It is a necessary step to take to prevent you from losing all your precious emails.

Microsoft Outlook 2007 worth buying: Email Software Review - MSFT

I know that many of those who use the free Microsoft e-mail client like Outlook Express or Windows Mail (for free because it comes with Windows) or by e-mail Web-based services, such as Windows Live Hotmail service. What amazes me is that few of my knowledge, including professionals who are willing to pay in advance.
I bought Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 as an independent program started at the same time, four months ago, and could not be happier.
Here are features I like, at cost:

1. Compatibility between Outlook and Word

I often copy text from Word and paste into Outlook: format. Previously, when I do this is to use Outlook Express and Windows Mail, and the results are usually a disaster. I had to spend time reformatting the text, which I created in Word. It is equally effective for this purpose are not the same thing twice.

However, when I copy from Outlook and paste in the Word. Also, when I received a letter from other countries, I do not see how I can clean much more quickly than any free program.

2. Reported post

Outlook 2007, you can e-mail tag in your Inbox or other e-mail, using a function called "category".

Do you have time to process each message when you get it? Of course not. Categories Outlook allows you to label e-mail string of choice. I use words like "Time", "response", "research" and "Reading." Moreover, you can color code each category. It is a huge time saver, I will not lose the message. Or Outlook Express and Windows Mail have this functionality. Do not pay the previous version of Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

3. Find messages

Windows Mail has a good search function. I believe nothing. However, as a result, I had to open each message individually to see that file. Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 provides a solution. Now open the "Preview" so every time I select a list of projects, e-mail content is displayed in a separate window. Save minutes every time I need to find some, the rapid increase in hours.

4. Incoming e-mail editor

How long do you receive an e-mail may receive unsolicited messages from topics such as "again", "before" or white? Almost embarrassing, old topic information, and then change the subject completely different? In Outlook, you can change the subject line. I need to do is save the original, but the acquisition of [square brackets] much, so when I saw the list, I am well aware of the contents of the message. Outlook also allows you to change any other part of the information clearly.

Here are the main benefits that I received a letter from the pay.

In Canada, Best Buy is currently selling in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 C US $ 159.99. Otherwise, you can download a free 60 day trial in 2007 of the category of English or French language, from the Microsoft.

Microsoft Updates Spam Emails Spread Malware

Security researches from CA and Sophos warn of two malware distribution campaigns that try to push trojans as Microsoft security updates. One claims to offer a Conficker removal tool, while the other masquerades as an update for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express.

"Researchers at Microsoft have been working closely with Symantec, the creators of Norton antivirus, and have come up with a removal tool for the conflicker [sic.] virus," the malicious e-mails intercepted by CA read. "You are hereby immediately advised to download and run the removal tool from the link provided below to make sure you are not infected […]," they go on to advise.

The download link starts with windowsupdate.microsoft.com, but actually points to a .ru domain name. "The email comes from a certain Microsoft[dot]ssl[dot]com whose IP address is 38.100.66.185. This IP address originates from a server which is located in Texas and is not a Microsoft server," Rossano Ferraris, research engineer at CA Internet Security Business Unit, notes.

Visiting the link prompts the download of a file called remtool_conf.exe, that, when run, displays a Symantec EULA and offers to start scanning the computer. However, instead of performing any malware scan, the application contacts another host from where it downloads winupdate.exe, identified by CA as DelfInject CX. The fake removal tool is being detected as FakeScan A.

"Although there has been a decrease in the number of fake Microsoft update emails, the current fake emails are more sophisticated and use a very high profile social engineering technique to lure and trap people," Mr. Ferraris warns.

Meanwhile, Julie Yeates, malware analyst at antivirus vendor Sophos, describes a similarly themed campaign that targets users of the Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express email clients. "Microsoft has released an update for Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express. This update is critical and provides you with the latest version of the Microsoft Outlook / Outlook Express and offers the highest levels of stability and security," the messages read.

The attached officexp-KB910721-FullFile-ENU.exe file is actually an installer for Troj/Spy-CU. "It does look plausible, the spelling and grammar are surprisingly correct, for malware authors, but, as ever, one should always be cautious concerning e-mail attachments," Ms. Yeates warns. Windows users are advised to download security fixes through Automatic Updates or from Microsoft's download website directly.
