Tom,
 
I don't think so. However there are 3 or 4 files in that folder, all of which contain information on various settings and preferences in Outlook. I usually keep a copy of them all, and when something goes really wrong with Outlook, I copy over these files and restart Outlook.

Does the outlook.pst file contain the current settings for outlook including email accounts etc?

Yes. Do windows-r and type c colon backslash. (I used the words rather than the punctuation marks there.

Then do Contrrol-e for search and type outlook.pst and hit enter.

It will likely take a while, but you should find it.

It is usually buried under your user, appdata folder.

Microsoft’s software developers have apparently created a new user interface for the spelling and grammar checker in Microsoft Word. I’m using a recent Monthly Channel release of Office 365 on Windows 10.

 

What I didn’t find, however, was a control to exit the spelling and grammar dialogue. Pressing Escape exited and preserved my changes – but I’m curious – is there something else that I overlooked?

The problem only started with my gmail pop account after moving to a new system and a freshly installed copy of Outlook 2013.  Prior to that the pop account worked fine and met my needs. 

 

After not being able to set up the pop accounts in  Outlook I rang Microsoft hotline and the tech there changed it to a imap account.  Since then I have been flooded with duplicate mail.

 

Maybe it would be worth me setting up another pop account in gmail and  subscribe to lists under the new account.

 Hi I have not been following this conversation that much but I will say that if you were only using a device or to pop three is a good way to go. This allows you to have messages on your computer but you don’t have to delete them from the server unless you choose to in the set up. Your problem may be in the set up of your account if there is a way you can do it you may want to uninstall your accounts and then reinstall them, just make sure you have all of your email backed up or at least the important ones.

Tom,

         Gmail offers POP access to this very day.  Your problem is not rooted in IMAP access, and going POP will either keep the same problems or introduce others.

          You need to have someone who understands the e-mail client you're using take a careful look at your account setup, what rules you're using, and several other factors.

          Or you can persist in believing that the e-mail access method is what's causing your problem - your call.

Subject: can't get a program to install

Hey guys,

OK, i can't get a program to install. I'm using win 10, and jfw 2018.
So i'm going through the installation screen, and when it comes to the
folder where i wanna put the program, i'm excepting the default, this is
the
error i get.

couldn't create directory dialog
could not create the target directory, access is denied be sure it doesn't
contain an invalid character


Never seen this before. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jed

Richard,

          Thanks much.  I realize that there are a lot of "for profit" scripters out there (for some value of "a lot of") and I wasn't really expecting them, or anyone who's purchased from them, to be offering their wares for free.

           But there are scads of scripts that have been created not for sale, and that those who created them would be willing to offer to others for use, but until your post I had not even found one location doing such.

           There's no point in reinventing the wheel as far as repositories go, either.  It's not clear to me whether this one is being actively maintained at this point, but I'll do some digging to find out.

Jed,
I assume you have gone through it character by character. The only time I've had this happen is when an illegal character was actually there, but I didn't hear it until I went through each character.
Otherwise, you may have one of those strange permissions issues that Microsoft seems to be plagued with.

I do not think anyone has put together a single repository. Too many scripters, and too many that sell their scripts directly. I think this one has free scripts, but I thought their was another place where I had gotten the Goldwave scripts, but I cannot find that one now.

The thread on "JAWS & Becky!" brings this thought to mind again.

It seems to me that there is an endless reinvention of the wheel in terms of JAWS scripts because, to my knowledge, there is not a well-known or well-publicized central repository for same withing the JAWS user community.  I could, of course, be entirely wrong and completely ignorant on this count.  Does one, or more than one, exist?

Has any thought been given for using something like the WIKI pages here or a Google Drive account as such a spot?

For any of these scripts usage would, of course, by an "at your own risk" affair, but far better to have something to try out in a pinch than not as far as I'm concerned.  I also can't see many individuals in the community of JAWS scripters churning out JAWS script malware, either.
