First, little you can change in the registry that is geared toward Outlook Express will have any impact on Outlook. The "Unread Mail" folder is not a real folder, it's a search context. New messages in ANY mail folder in the same data store as the Unread Mail folder will be listed and the "In Folder" column of the view will tell you what folder it's in. IMAP accounts always have their own folder sets. If the stuntsillusion account is an IMAP account, it will have its own folders that reflect the server's contents. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

Well, I clicked on the link to "Auto-Configure Outlook Express" after Iweb told me to do so. And then I still wasn't receiving any new messages to that account so I added a reponse to my support ticket with Iweb letting them know that the instructions they gave me didn't help. Now, what was strange was that E-mails sent to neil(a)stuntsillusion.com started to appear in the "Unread Mail" folder a couple hours later. So I then had to cancel the reponse I just added to my support ticket and let Iweb know that I thought the problem had been solved. > Originally posted by *Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]* > The "Unread Mail" folder is not a real folder, it's a search context... That's where my incoming mails to the stuntsillusion account were appearing a couple hours after I opened the register file and allowed it to configure Outlook for me. And I forgot to mention in the last reponse I posted here, by the way, that I did check the "Unread Mail" folder immediately after letting the register file configure Outlook but nothing had started to appear there for a while so this was when I added my reponse to my support ticket with Iweb. Anyway, new messages no longer appeared in "Unread Mail" folder the next day. Instead, they would now appear at the following: neil(a)stuntsillusion.com > Inbox > neil(a)stuntsillusion.com All of these weird little things about "Outlook 2007" are new for me after upgrading from XP. > Originally posted by Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] > IMAP accounts always have their own folder sets. *If the > stuntsillusion > account is an IMAP account*... Or maybe it was a POP3 account, I don't remember myself (though I thought it was an IMAP account) but I would tell you for sure if I could boot up on my old PC and view my Outlook settings. I can't, however, because the motherboard in that system had went. And that motherboard is no longer manufactured so I was forced to buy a new PC. I wasn't ready to upgrade just yet and I wouldn't have bothered you or Iweb about this if I was able to still use my Pentium4 with "Outlook XP." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.outlookforums.com/showthread.php?t=44656 http://www.outlookforums.com

If all that you describe were happening to me, I'd start over with a new mail profile and double-check everything as I configured that profile, adding only the types and number of accounts that I know I wanted. I also would not let Outlook autoconfigure the accounts, but do it manually using the instructions from the mail provider. If that doesn't work for you, I'm stumped and I hope someone else can help. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

If I delete my stuntsillusion account and then try to recreate it by clicking "Add a New Email Account" from my Mail section in Panelbox, I don't get asked anytime during the process to specifiy whether I want to create a POP3 or an IMAP E-mail account. Instead, all I'm asked to do after I click the link that says "Add a New Email Account" is: � Enter the Username and Password that I wish to use. � Enter the Mailbox quota (EG. 250 MB) � And then click the "Create" button. After completing the above, I am then presented with this message: > The e-mail account neil(a)stuntsillusion.com with the login > neil+stuntsillusion.com with a quota of Megabytes was successfully > created. > > Do you wish to configure the account to work with a mail client > (Outloook, Mail.zpp)? Yes | No If I say "Yes," I am then taken to the "Mail Client Configuration" page. This is where all of the options for Auto-Configuring can be found as well as all the details for "Manual Settings." *My E-mail:* neil(a)stuntsillusion.com *My site:* http://stuntsillusion.com/ *The Stunts MessageCenter:* http://www.stuntsillusion.com/forum/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.outlookforums.com/showthread.php?t=44656 http://www.outlookforums.com

There is an option to bypass this automatic account creation and create it manually. I told you this in my prior post. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
