Database could not be rebuilt

27. December 2012 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , , , , , ,

Using Mountain Lion and Office 2011. Went away over Christmas over which time my MacBook Pro had gone into hibernation as the battery level had dropped and I'd left the original power supply in the office. Go a new one today and powered up. Tried to go into Outlook which downloaded the outstanding mail and the posted an error that the database needed rebuilding. This the Database Daemon has steadfastly refused to do. After reading through some of the posts here none seemed to address the exact issue I have because after several attempts to recover as suggested I now had a dialog box permanently up saying the Database needs to be rebuild. Close this dialog down and another will open immediately. Try to rebuild the database and a dialog box will open immediately suggesting that I rebuild the database, and another, and another, and another. I've had up to 7 of these dialog boxes open at one time.

 

So I restored from the backup in Time Machine to the latest full backup, then recovered all my post, which was OK until all the software updates also came down. On rebooting I'm back where I started - rebuild the database with the dialog box refusing to go away. Closing the Daemon doesn't solve the problem as it restarts itself.

 

So How can I stop this dialog box, rebuild the database and get on with my life?

 

Best regards

CHECKING BCCs

In the past any emails you sent stayed separate and you could check them over. Now, any responses are built on top of the original email. I find that a bind. Anyway, I just want to see who I sent the BCC emails to. Can't find a way of raising that info. Any help? I now want to check who I did and din't send a bcc Christmas card to. But can't find a way of looking back to BCC

Is it possible to insert midis or MP3s in Windows Mail?

I have Windows Mail (I think) or whatever comes with Windows 7.  When I had XP and Vista I loved being creative with my emails, especially at Christmas.  Then when we switched to Windows 7 I was told you can no longer insert music, midis, or MP3s  in the background of each email, so as my friends read my email they can listen to Christmas songs.  I REALLY miss that feature..........Has anything changed over the last year or so?  If so what do I need to do and thanks for any help you can give me.
