I have Outlook 2007. I have been using it for 6-8 months- no problems other
than my steep learning curve.

The other day my office tried to install "power messaging" onto my laptop.
The corporate email is a web-based Outlook program on an Exchange server. I
wanted my email to be local, not web based. So the tech person, did her
thing, and when she did it, my categories disappeared from my calendar. All
items under those categories disappeared. Some of the categories still exist
under contacts, but all the colors I had associated with the categories are
gone. The only items remaining on my calendar are the ones that I had not
categorized and the holidays and some birthdays. My whole outlook system
seems very disconnected now.

I have over 3 years of appointments/calendar items that are missing. This is
so frustrating.

Any idea how I can go back to before she loaded the email system? (It has
since been uninstalled but all my data is still "missing".) Is there a fix
for this?

Thank you in advance for your time and information!

what is power messaging? what version of outlook and exchange server?

Power Messaging is what the company calls it. I thought maybe it was a well
known term as I have never had a web-based email program before.

I have Outlook 2007.

Do you want to know what version of Outlook and what Exchange Server my
compnany uses? When I log into the webmail account it is Outlook Web Access.
What specifically do I need to ask my systems manager?

Thank you.

there is a mail server called power messaging that offers some exchange
server feature but if you are using it, you aren't using exchange.

We need to know the version of Exchange - the web access screen might say or
you can ask the admin. If you've used older versions of outlook, you can
tell based on which version of outlook it resembles.

Outlook and Outlook Web Access are two separate clients that can be used to
access an Exchange mailbox. OWA is NOT Outlook. If you have and use
Outlook 2007, why do you use OWA (and vice versa)?
