IMAP – Unable to view all Server Folders in Outlook

Sunil PadmanabhanLeave a comment

Applies to Microsoft Outlook 2007 / 2010 / 2013

Under IMAP Setup there is a concept of Subscribed and Unsubscribed folders. The folders that are not visible are presumably those not subscribed

From the left pane of your Outlook; right click the account and select IMAP Folders

IMAP Options

Untick the checkbox “When displaying hierarchy in Outlook, show only subscribed folders”

IMAP Folders

 

You should now see all folders under your IMAP Account

Unlock your Nokia Phone – Enter Restriction Code

Sunil Padmanabhan2 Comments

With the Smart Phone Era; this post may seem like a far cry; but still could be a relief to some who are happy with their simple Nokia Handsets

In certain countries; the Phones you purchase from Authorized dealers could be locked for use with SIM Cards of Service Providers in other countries. This could land you in a soup when travelling and have to use a local SIM on your existing phone. This is when you may need to unlock the phone to have the restriction removed.

The below website is an excellent guide to help you through. But sadly there is no guarantee; that your Nokia can be unlocked with their instructions. Try your luck.
