Solved Outlook 2010

[Mitch656]

So i have 2 slighty annoying problems with my outlook program.
1. It always open up in a small screen. I've got into properites and set it to maximized, i've "trained" it to open full screen, by maxamizing it everytime i open it. Its annoying!

2. I have 3 email accounts put into my outlook program. I have a Hotmail, Bigpond and gmail. They all open fine expect for me gmail, it open like minimized so you can't see any of the folders unless you click the arrow. How can i make it open like all the rest do?

Hi Mitch,

I believe the way to go about this, is to do the following:

1. Expand your 3 email accounts by clicking the arrows.
2. Maximise Outlook.

Now exit Outlook, and re-open it. It should keep your settings such that the 3 accounts are maximised, and the Outllok window is also maximised.

I've just tested this using my Outlook 2010, and it works. Can you try that, and post back here?

Golden

Well right now it starting up maxamized, i think it must be only when i restart the PC.

But my gmail account is still being annoying and not opening

Hi MItch,

Is your GMAIL account, an IMAP or POP3 account?

It was orginally POP3 then for some reason it stop working, so i removed for 2 days and tryed again still didn't work. so its now IMAP. I dont like IMAP in my opion it slow, and i prefer POP3 but i don't know how to fix it.

So in the answer to the question its IMAP

OK. As far as I can see, thats the difference between our Gmail accounts - mine being POP3.

Perhaps you could try switching back to POP3, and see how it behaves then?

if i do that it keeps asking me to enter my username and password.

I never changed it to IMP.

One day i kept getting that message of it wanting my username and password

Thank you
