[WinPartners] Problem after installing Oracle Connector for Outlook 9.0426

[Eduardo Gonzalez]

All the Rules and Contacts disappeared after installing the Oracle Connector. Also, Outlook seems to have reset many other miscellaneous settings, such as whether the Preview Pane is on, sorting preferences, etc. I followed all the steps exactly from your instructions, except that I installed on another partition (not C: drive). The reason I installed the Connector in the alternate location is that my C: drive is almost full and I had succesfully installed the Calendar in the alternate location.

Recreating all my contacts and rules will be very time consuming. Have others seen this? Does anybody know if there's any files that could be restored from my TSM backups that would bring back the contacts or rules I had created?

Just as a comment, another weird thing that Outlook does now is that when I delete a message it doesn't mark it for deletion (by graying it out), but simply just tosses it from whatever mailbox its in when I hit delete. This is a major difference as to how it used to behave, where I had to "purge deleted messages" if I wanted them gone.
