Troubleshooting Microsoft Outlook

It doesn't matter which version you use, though it is hoped you've upgraded to Office 2003 at the very oldest, you will come across problems with Outlook that you won't understand or know how to deal with. This is where troubleshooting comes into play, and you have many options!

You can research for yourself and here are my two favourite websites to use:

Robert Spaarnaij's Microsoft Outlook Help Site

Diane Poremsky's Slipstick Solutions Centre for Microsoft Outlook

Both websites will cover all of your basic questions and problems if you search through them. I would even advise you to bookmark them.

Both are written and maintained by Microsoft Outlook MVP's. MVP stands for Most Valuable Professional. This is a coveted designation offered by Microsoft at their invitation only. That is, you can't write an exam to get this. Microsoft invites you to become an MVP based on your expertise!

If you have a Yahoo! account, you can join the outlook-users group and post or email questions:
Outlook Users Yahoo! Group

You can also join and ask questions in the Microsoft Answers Outlook forum, all you need is a Live or Hotmail account to do so.

Microsoft Answers Forum

The forum is not frequented by Outlook developers but Outlook users and of course all of the Outlook MVP's who are experts in their field.

And of course, Microsoft offers Outlook Help and How-to as well:
Microsoft Office Help

This is just a start to help you troubleshoot any Outlook problems you might have.

If you have suggestions for further Microsoft Outlook blog topics, don't hesitate to let me know!
