    Outlook won't start

    I have a computer, and up til this week Outlook worked fine. Now it takes five or ten minutes for it to open. Outlook.exe isn't using any CPU or memory during this time, it's just not opening. The computer itself also isn't maxed out. Just the standard 5% CPU usage and 100MB or ram. Sometimes...

    We have a server room with several computers all attached to one Linksys switch. This weekend, none of the computers could see any part of the network outside the switch (the internet, the gateway, the rest of the LAN). When I power cycled the switch connectivity came back for about five...

    I am setting up a small mail server. Postfix, on Fedora, with about 25 accounts, so no need for MySQL, no need for IMAP, all we need is a simple POP server. Postfix works sending mail to different user accounts on the computer, but now what. Are there any good tutorials out there? Do i need...

    A user of our system likes to forward his phone to his cell phone using Feature 4.

    Automatic Voicemail Forwarding

    It seems that messages left in users mailboxes too long are forwarded to the General Delivery mailbox on our flash system. I talked to a guy who knows the system better than i do, and says there should be a setting that forwards messages left in the mailbox too long to be sent to general...

    Random Voice MailLocation

    We have flash voice mail for our norstar system. When we moved locations, the auto attendant had been turned off, so if anyone called our main line XXX-XXX-XX00, they went to the general delivery mailbox. We ended up having a mailbox full of random messages for everyone. So we figured out the...

    Contact Management Software

    I need software that act as a centralized database of contact information. I.E. if the CEO calls a customer and talks to him, he adds a note to the contact information about the call, so when the CFO gives him a call a week later, the same information isn't discussed. Perferably it would...
