Why are some mailboxes by the street and others are near the front door?

February 6th, 2010
Amanda M asked:


In certain areas of my town the mailboxes are on the street and the postal worker drives to deliver the mail. In other areas the boxes are by the front door and the postal worker has to walk around with the mail to deliver it. Why is this? And can you put your mailbox by your door if the rest of your neighborhood has mailboxes on the street?

How to Recover OST Data after Deleting the Mailbox?

February 4th, 2010
John Peter asked:


Outlook offline folders are exact replicas of Exchange Server mailboxes. They act as slaves of the master server folders-the mailboxes. So, if anyhow the mailbox is deleted, you cannot access the OST data as you cannot synchronize it. OST requires to be synchronized with Exchange mailbox in order to convert into PST. But if the original mailbox is deleted, the operation fails and the OST file is left as orphaned. However, you can try recovering the data provided the MS Exchange profile has not been deleted or modified. But if this is not the case and the profile has been changed, you should try alternative third-party solutions to Convert OST to PST.

For an instance, suppose you log on to Exchange Server as administrator and delete a mailbox inadvertently. The user starts Outlook email client with old OST file, but fails as it receives an OST synchronization error. The operation fails and OST data remains inaccessible.

Cause

OST cannot synchronize and is orphaned if the corresponding mailbox has been deleted.

Solution

The below solution will work to recover OST emails if you haven’t modified the original profile, which you used to create the file. Through original profile, you need to validate that you are allowed to log onto the server mailbox. When you successfully logs into the server, Exchange creates a unique ID key from mailbox and stores in the profile. Your profile is checked for this key each time when you try to access the OST file. So, if the key is altered by logging into different mailbox or server or by modifying the profile, you cannot access the OST file. Thus, you can follow these steps to recover OST data while making sure that you haven’t modified the profile and made any attempts to log onto different server or mailbox:



1-You should start Exchange Client OFFLINE and click Services in Tools menu

2-Click to Add a Personal Folders service

3-Copy the email messages to this new PST file and click OK

4-Duplicate the above steps for each folder of the file

5-You can now create a new profile or log onto a different mailbox or server



To recover the data from OST file, for which the profile has been modified or user has attempted to log onto different account, you need to use a commercial application to perform OST to PST Recovery. These are exclusively built tools with advanced features and algorithms that allow for safe Convert OST to PST.

Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Desktop is a feature-rich application for OST to PST Recovery. It is an easy-to-use tool for converting orphaned Outlook offline folder to usable personal folder. It supports Outlook 2003, 2002, 2000, 98, and 97. The tool preserves the original data of the file and proves highly competent to use.

OST Recovery After Deleting Mailboxes due to Database Oversize

January 29th, 2010
John Peter asked:


A Microsoft Outlook offline folder is like a slave replica of the server-based folder. It provides an easy way to work with your mailbox contents, while the network access is not available. If you delete the master mailbox, the offline folder is orphaned and you cannot access the information. To allow data access from an offline folder, it is necessary that it is converted into .pst file. But there can be situations when you need to delete some of Exchange Server mailboxes. This make corresponding offline folders orphaned. To convert these files into usable .pst files, you need to use a utility that could Convert OST to PST.

For an instance, consider that you try to mount your Exchange Server mailbox store database and it fails logging any of the following events in the application event log:

Event ID: 445

Description: Information Store (3160) The database D:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\MDBDATA\priv1.edb has reached its maximum size of 16383 MB. If the database cannot be restarted, an offline defragmentation may be performed to reduce its size.

Or

Event ID: 1112

Description: The database “Mailbox Store (Server Name)” has reached the maximum allowed size. Attempting to unmount the database.

Cause

This issue might occur if the size of your mailbox store database has reached to its default limit of 16 GB.

Solution

Possible solutions to the given problem are:



1-Install the latest updates available for your Exchange Server

2-Delete some mailboxes to reduce the database size to a level defined within allowed database size. Since the database will not mount in such cases, you will first need to temporarily increase database size by 1 GB by performing registry editing. You can also try deleting unnecessary Outlook contents from individual folders or moving the mailboxes to another server. Perform an offline defragmentation of the database.



If you have deleted a necessary mailbox and no access to valid data backup is available, your .ost file becomes unusable. To Convert OST into a usable .pst file, use an efficient third-party tool. Convert OST to PST tools employ high-end and safe procedures competent to extract .ost file data in all type of cases.

Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Desktop is a reliable and safe utility that can Convert OST into .pst file. It is an advanced utility that can recover all email messages, notes, journals, tasks and other Outlook contents. The tool is usable in all cases when .ost file fails to be synchronized. It supports Outlook 2003, 2002, 2000, 98 and 97.

Does the USPS put attempted delivery notices in mailboxes?

January 24th, 2010
Andrea B asked:


Delivery confirmation says my package was delivered today…but it wasn’t. Would they put a delivery notice in someone’s mailbox or would they just tape it to the door? I’m just worried because it is really windy today, so maybe it blew away or something. I have one of those mailboxes that requires a key to open - it isn’t a box at the end of my driveway. Would they put a delivery notice in there or would they just tape it to the door?

Resolving Error 501 in Exchange Server

January 16th, 2010
Axel Culver asked:


Exchange Server Information Store databases support transaction logging i.e. before committing any data to the database, it is first written to transaction logs. If your database is ever forced to perform recovery, these transaction logs replay and restore the database to a working state. When an Exchange Server Information Store database corrupts, it marks an event indicating the root cause of the issue. You can deduce the problem and thus, take corrective measures to solve it. In cases, when no backup is available to replace the damaged database and ESEUTIL utility also fails to repair, you need to use an effective Microsoft Exchange Recovery utility that could repair and restore the damaged database.

For an instance, you might receive the below event ID in Application log of Event Viewer:

Date: date Source: ESE

Time: time Category: Logging/Recovery

Type: Error Event ID: 454

User: N/A

Computer: Servername

Description: Information Store (2184) Database recovery/restore failed with unexpected error -501

Cause

Event 454 generally indicates database corruption that occurs while restore or recovery operation. Error -501 corresponds to hexadecimal value 0xFFFFFE0B. It represents JET_errLogFileCorrupt error and shows that the recovery operation has failed because of log file corruption.

Solution

You need to solve the given issue by following these steps:



Check if all database files are consistent. If they are, you can move all corrupted log files that are contained in Exchsrvr\Mdbdata folder and then try to mount the Information Store



If applying the above step doesn’t solve the issue as databases are not consistent, you need to restore the corrupted databases from backup.



In case, no suitable backup is present, you can execute eseutil /p command to repair the damaged databases



If the error stil persists, use a powerful and safe third-party Exchange Recovery Tool to scan and repair the damaged database. Microsoft Exchange Recovery software are non-destructive tools designed with advanced technology to repair the corrupted database. These tools provide you self-explanatory interface and provide advanced set of features. In addition, you can use these products in any case of logical database corruption.

Stellar Phoenix Mailbox Exchange Recovery is a fully-competent tool to systematically repair damaged Exchange databases created with Exchange Server 5.5, 2000 and 2003. It provides safe Exchange Recovery Tool that extracts all user mailboxes by converting them into Outlook usable .pst files.

Offline Advertising That Still Works

January 9th, 2010
Kate asked:


the last time you saw a print flyer or a pocket folder printing material land in your mailbox? With the advent of digital technology, printing pocket folders for example has become passé and out-of-date. Even during sales presentations, one can use PowerPoint to support a lecture or a discussion of one’s business.

Although many businesses and marketers have reduced their offline marketing strategies, due to either the development of the World Wide Web or the downward turn of the economy, it is still advisable for any business to utilize print ads in their marketing arsenal. You know why? Because not too many competitions are using it so you can have a chance to stand out in your chosen market.

The next question now is what kind of offline ad would be appropriate to print out? There are a lot of marketing tools that you can use, starting with your business cards. Business cards are the very first things that your target clients will read about you and your company. Especially when you hand them out to your target clients, you’re more than likely to annoy them, but the thing is, you’re able to attract their attention.

Remember those drop cards you used to leave on every car’s windshield? It may be annoying but because of its strategic placement, your target clients don’t have any choice but to get it from their window and read what’s written. Whether your recipients don’t like the offer or they’re irritated with another paper to put in the trash, they were able to look at it. They were able to glance at what the marketer was trying to offer them. There was even a study that says that one out of ten people will either call you or look you up in the Internet when your target clients were able to read your flyers or drop cards.

Flyers are also well loved print ads that many businesses have used effectively. What’s great about print flyers is that you can design and print them yourself without even going to a professional printer. All you need is your very own custom design, a white or colored paper, ink and laser printer. You can do it on your own time, as well as design your flyers according to how you want them done.

Classified ads in newspapers and magazines are also very effective means for marketing. All you need is a good headline to hook your readers.

Offline advertising may be relegated to the back burner with the development of the Internet. But there’s no denying that they are still very effective marketing strategies that can generate leads for your business. From time to time you might want to interchange your marketing campaign from online to offline. Just make sure to be consistent with the message you have for your business.

Free Paid Surveys-From Your Post Office Mailbox

January 6th, 2010
steve asked:


Would you like to earn money walking to your Post Office to collect mail that makes you money every day of the week?

One of my favorite programs currently is a free paid survey that sends me marketing mail through my Post Office mailbox. Through this survey I make around $100 every month for just walking to the Post Office to collect my mail. It’s so simple and easy. Imagine walking to the Post Office, collect and read your mail and then go to your computer and fill in some codes from the mail. Then send these codes and voila! You have made yourself some money.

This free paid survey is available internationally and anybody across the globe can join.

As longer as you can log in and then do a small task of filling in some codes. Then press the send button. You will make this money just like I’m doing every month.

The good news is that registering and joining this Social Network that supplies free paid surveys to its members is free. The registration process takes 30 minutes of your time because it’s easy and simple to deal with. All you need to do is to register and then take a 30 questions “initial survey” immediately you finish you registration.

You can take the “Free” or the upgraded “Entrepreneur” Membership account. Although the free membership is excellent I would advice that you take the Entrepreneur account if you have the $200 upgrading fee. If you don’t have the money, please stay on free membership until you make enough money to upgrade you membership. Upgraded members make more money than their free membership account comrades on this nice and friendly Social Network.

Make sure you give a genuine Post Office Mailbox address because surveys and your checks (cheque) will be sent there. Be careful how you answer your initial 30 questions survey because this will determine the amount of money you will be earning on this Free Survey Program. Surveys shall be sent to you depending on how you answer these 30 questions. The more surveys you receive the more money you will make.

The All Important Card:

You must answer the 30 question initial cash survey so that you can pave the way for a very important “card” to be sent to you. Without this card nothing moves in your favor. Therefore answer the 30 questions as soon as you finish registering so that the card can be sent. That card contains free important codes that you’ll have to enter from your account giving green light for surveys and payments to be sent because this will prove that your Post Office Mailbox address is genuine and safe for your free cash surveys and checks.

The Waiting Period:

You will agree with me that that sending mail through the Post Office is not one of the fastest modes of mail delivery. Therefore its questions survey so that you’re Card can be on the way to avoid time wastage. It may take up to two months for your card to arrive depending on your location on Earth.

Would you to try this free cash survey like me? Visit my blog for more information.
