Outlook Tip for July 2 2010 (calendar printing assistant v2)

There is an update available for the Calendar Printing Assistant so that it will work with Outlook 2010 (the installer says its for Outlook 2007, but it lies, it works with both. ). In my (very) quick look, there doesn't appear to be any changes, except for Outlook 2010 support.

Hotfix: New messages move to the Deleted Items folder

Over the last few months we've seen a number of complaints where all new messages are delivered to the Deleted Items folder. A hotfix released this week addresses this problem (and many more).

When you receive this error, go to Tools > Trust Center > Add-ins (Outlook 2007/2010) or Tools > Options > Other > Advanced Options > Addins (older versions)

Outlook 2010 & "The attachment size exceeds the allowable limit"

Outlook 2010 has a new feature that prevents you from sending messages larger than your SMTP server accepts. If you have an Exchange mailbox, Outlook gets the message limit from the server. Because other servers don't share this information with Outlook, it sets a default limit of 20 MB. If your SMTP server supports larger messages (or smaller), you can edit the registry to prevent the warning. For the relevant registry settings, see Outlook 2010's Default Attachment Size
