The information in this article applies to:
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Outlook 97, version 8.02, improves journal entry performance by
reducing the idle time from 60 to 30 seconds and providing a progress bar
during the recording process.
Steps to Reproduce Behavior
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Journal tab. Under "Automatically record these items," click
to select the "E-mail message" check box, and then click OK.
- On the File menu, point to New, and then click Contact.
- Type values in the appropriate fields.
NOTE: The Full Name and E-mail fields are required entries.
- Click the Journal tab, and then click to select the "Automatically
record journal entries for this contact" check box. Click Save and
Close.
- Double-click the Contacts folder, and then double-click the contact you
just created.
- On the Contact menu, click "New Message to Contact."
- Type an e-mail message, and click Send.
NOTE: Under these conditions, the journal entry may not appear immediately.
If you skip step 2 above so that "Automatically record items" is not
selected, Outlook does not create a journal entry for the e-mail message.
If you skip step 5 above, and then later select the "Automatically record
journal entries for this contact" check box, you must resave the contact
information before Outlook can create automatic journal entries for the
contact.
