Reload Headers
 
Hello,

I have some IMAP email accounts in Outlook XP. When I add a column the
information in the column is not added. I guess this is because the
email headers have already been downloaded and that new column's data
was not stored at the time. Is there some way to force outlook to
reload all the headers and update the information?

Thanks in advance.

Tim.

If the data exists in the item, adding the column should display it. What
are you adding?

The to column and the sent column.
It only updates when I click on the message.
All the othe messages are left un updated without information in the
columns.
The solution would be to go through and click on each of the 1,000
messages one at a time, but I don't have time for that!
Any ideas?

Do you have "Download Headers" selected in the send/receive group for that
account?

There is no option called that, but I suppose 'Download Item
Description Only' is the same and selected.
I guess 'Download Complete Item Including Attachment' would work but
that's using it like POP and I want IMAP. I don't want to download 1gb
of email.

I think this is to do with IMAP caching which searching on the web
there appears to be know way to clear this other than deleting
the .pst file. Which I am about to try.

I tried deleting the account - which works, but it also clears the
settings for the new column which must be added after the initial add
and after the headers have initially downloaded - taking me back to
sqaure 1.

Perhaps. I was looking at Outlook 2003.

While I use an IMAP account, I've never added those particular columns
before. I just did and, as you find, those fields aren't refreshed until I
choose a message to examine. The Sent field contains "None" until I select
the message, which fills in the date. The "To" contains nothing until I
select the message, at which point that field gets filled in as well.
Apparently Outlook doesn't get enough information intil it actually
downloads the message, even though it gets the From, Received, and Size data
without having to select the message.
