  Outlook 2013 – Can’t Delete or move emails

  It you are running Outlook 2013 or earlier and are having problems where you delete an email but it stays in your inbox and then if you try again  it gives and error message similar to “The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted”.

  You might also find sent emails are not moving to the sent folder after they have been sent.

  Then your outlook PST datafile has become corrupted, luckily this is fairly easy to solve, just follow the instructions below;

  

  Outlook 2013 – Can’t Delete or move emails

   

  • You will need to run scanpst.exe to fix the data file(.ost):
    
  • To Automaticly run the scanpst click one of the below links . Then click Open or Run in the File Download dialog box, and follow the steps in the Fix it wizard. (this will download direct from microsoft)
    • Start the Inbox Repair tool for Microsoft Outlook 2013
    • Start the Inbox Repair tool for other versions of Outlook
  • To Manually Run the scanpst locate the correct folder below using Explorer and run Scanpst.exe.
    • It is worth noting that the folders may be hidden. (check your documentation how to unhide your system files and folders)

  • \Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15	Outlook 2013 – 32-bit version
    \Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15	Outlook 2013 – 64-bit version

    \Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033

    Note The file or folders may be hidden. For instructions about how to unhide files and folders, see your operating system documentation.

  • Once running ScanPST just follow the instructions, depending on the size of the PSTfile and the speed of your computer the scan and fix might take a few minutes to a couple of hours.

  If you still are having problems then you may need to delete your profile and datafile and start again, but first you I would recommend you copy PST datafile to a safe location.

  Well luckily it is very easy to fix, all you need to do is clear your web browsers on line cache, close your browser and re login to hotmail / outlook.

  To clear your web browsers cache varies from browser to browser so check you help files for specifics but generally – 

  • Goto Tools
  • Options
  • Privacy \ content or similar.
  • Clear recent history
  • Make sure cache is selected and then press ok or clear.

  How Can I Send an EXE via Gmail?

  Google’s Gmail email system system prevents all executable file types and some system files from being sent via its servers as a virus protection measure. This is good but also very annoying if like us you often have to send these types of files to customers and other people with in the company. If you try to send an file type that Google does not like Gmail will give you an error message along the lines of “FILE is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type of file”.

  Luckily there is a couple of fairly easy ways to get round it.

   

  

  How Can I Send an EXE via Gmail?

  Methods.

  1. Use a free facility such as dropbox to upload your file and then email the direct link to the file so that your friend \ colleague \ customer can easily download it to their device. Another advantage to this is that you are not limited to the size of the file.
  2. Rename the file without an exe extension, Compress it with any compression utility and then attach it. Now it will get attached, and uploaded successfully.The receiver of the email should uncompress the attachment and rename it again with exe extension.

  How to Create a New Microsoft Outlook Email Account

  Setting up a New Outlook Email account is very easy and is similar to creating a hotmail or Gmail account.

  Even if currently have an email account it is worth setting up a secondary account. I.e.  To keep your personal emails separate from your work or for signing up for websites so your main email account does not get spammed.

   

  Open up your browser of choice and then follow the instructions below.

  1.   Go to http://www.outlook.com.

  2.  Click the “Sign Up Now” Button in the bottom right hand corner.

  

  3.    Fill in the Form that is now displayed with your details.

  

  • First Name.
  • Last Name.
  • Birthday  (Month, Day, Year).
  • Gender (Male, Female, Not Specified).
  • Your Email Name @outlook.com (this will be your actual email address so try to make it memorable, If you chosen name has been taken try adding your middle name or some numbers to the end)
  • Password (minimum of 8 characters). Visit our article of choosing on creating a secure password.
  • Renter your password (this is to make sure you have not mistyped)
  • Backup Options ( You must select at least 2)
    • Phone Number(Optional).
    • Alternate Email Account (Optional).
    • Security Question (Optional). E.g. Your mother’s maiden name.
  • Your Country (You can make this up if you want).
  • Zip Code / Post Code (if applicable to country selected).
  • Security Text to prove you are not an automated signup robot.
  • Choose whether you would like to receive email with promotional offers from Microsoft. (You can unsubscribe at any time) (Optional).
  • Agree to Microsoft’s terms and conditions. (Not Optional).

  4.    If your browser is old, Microsoft will ask you if you would like to upgrade your browser to the latest version.   This  is not necessary but recommended to get the most from the outlook interface. (Microsoft will check no matter what browser you are using e.g. explorer, firefox, crome, safari etc.)

  

  5.    If you want to upgrade click on the link indicated on the screen and follow the instructions otherwise click on “continue to Outlook”.

  6.   You will now be taken to the new outlook interface.

  

   

   

  To send your first email via outlook click the “New” button located in the top banner.

  

  1. Fill in the recipients email address on the left. E.g. myfriend@theiremail.com
  2. Enter the email Subject at the top right. E.g. My First Email.
  3. Type your actual message in the body section on the bottom right hand side.

   

  That’s it you have successfully created a Outlook Email account and sent your first email.

  Facebooks new @facebook.com Email System

   Facebook have changed the default displayed email address for your personal page from your own personal email address to their new Facebook system. So for example if your name is john smith, Facebook would have given you johnsmith@facebook.com or a close variation.

   

  

  New facebook email address example

  Any emails send to the new @facebook.com address will appear along side any direct internal messages in the notifications section of your page.

  At the moment they do not seem to have touched any commercial Facebook pages.

  If you wish to stop using the new Facebook system and revert back to your own private email account it is fairly simple.

   

  How to change your Facebook Email Address

   

  1. Go the main section of your profile.
  2. Click the “edit profile” button.
  3. On the left hand menu click “Contact Information”.
  4. At the top of the page you will see the email Facebook has available and their privacy settings.
  5. Click on the circle on the right hand side of the @facebook.com address.
  6. Change setting to “hidden from timeline”.
  7. Click on the circle next to email address you wish to have displayed on your page and choose “shown on timeline”.
  8.  Press the Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
