Faxing from outlook 2007
I've just upgraded from Vista home to business edition hoping that my
software application will be able to send faxes via MAPI. It wasnt. So I looked into the Outlook 2007 settings and it doesnt appear to have any linkage with windows fax & scan at all anymore ? Can anyone tell me how to activate OL so I can Fax from outlook using the email to [FAX:0123123123] approach ? Is there a Com add-in which first needs to be installed ? Thanks, Jimmy |

All you need to do is add the Fax Mail Transport to your Outlook profile,
same as always. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "JimmyHoffa" wrote in message oups.com...

Have you configured a functional fax account in WFS?

@billgoss7 A lot of what you see here has been crossposted from all corners of the Internet. I'm thinking this came from the Microsoft communities. In any case, there's a lot of information that you left out (or was probably in your original post in another community). 1) Is your computer part of a client-server domain? If so, is it part of a Small Business Server domain? If not, is your fax modem installed on the PC you're using to send/receive faxes? 2) What version of Outlook were you using before? 3) Where were your faxes stored? Were they stored in the "Sent Items" folder? If so, did you back up your mailbox to a .pst file before upgrading? Russ is right: just install the "Fax Mail Transport" option in Outlook 2007 to get it working. In Outlook 2007: 1) Click Tools - Account Settings 2) Click on “New,” then “Other,” and then “Fax Mail Transport.” You’ll get a warning stating that you will need to close Outlook in order for the settings to take effect. Finish the wizard and then close out of Outlook. 3) Open up Outlook again. Begin creating a new e-mail. 4) At the top of the e-mail window, click “Accounts.” Change the option to “Fax Mail Transport.” Didn't cost you a thing, did it? Now, if #2 above did not work, then either: a) Your fax modem isn't set up properly (if it's installed directly on your PC). b) Your shared fax "printer" is not set up properly (if you have a server with the fax modem installed on it). -- killerb255 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ killerb255's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/56141.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/vista-print-fax/750151.htm http://forums.techarena.in |

Faxing from outlook 2007
Hi,
This does not work for me - when I attempt to send to a Fax number, I get a message bounce: The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: Recipient on Date The Microsoft Fax transport failed to deliver the message to the recipient. The message body cannot be printed. Yet, I can print the message to the Fax printer just fine - it converts the Outlook message to a Fax with a TIFF attachment containing the Outlook message.
