Mail Commands

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:03:21

Often enough e-mails get lost. My job is to find out at what point the e-mail is being dropped. Below is a list of commands I'd run on a Windows box which will allow you to simulate an e-mail being sent from you to an external user. You may need to perform these steps on your exchange box as the firewall will only allow outgoing port 25 traffic from a specific address. (Click view page for the list of commands)

Delete duplicate outlook contacts

Tue, 17 Jul 2007 08:29:14

Ended up with duplicate contact entries due to active sync? Yes, me too. I ended up with three entries per person on my phone which was exciting. Despite the excitement I decided it was time to resolve. Fire up Outlook and arrange your contacts by "date created". You will find all the duplicates were created on a specific date. In my case I had two days in which all my contacts were duplicated. Select the duplications, hit the delete key and then resync your phone, this should remove all the duplicate entries off your phone without and need for 3rd party software.
