Can't find it in Outlook ...

Outlook ocassionally causes problems when we try to find something in the mass of mails which are mostly collected.
There are several reasons why this may happen, and I'll tell you about some solutions which worked for me in this situations:

• Rebuilding the search index
• Activating the indexing for Outlook which incidentelly was turned of
• Actication of indexing for datatypes msg, pst, ost
• Repair PST files with scanpst.exe and and compress them with the compression function of Outlook
• Repair your Office software using the function in your control panel / programs

The detailed information how to perform those actions can be found in a lot of websites in the internet, I hope one of them is the right solution for you :-)
