Outlook cannot perform your search - Error

If you are an user of the Microsoft Outlook 2003, at times you might be facing the problem with the advanced find feature.
The error might say "Outlook cannot perform your search.Outlook cannot display this view. The folder already exists"

Fix: This is because a previously defined Advanced Find search result has been saved and is now possibly corrupt. You will need to delete these saved searches from Outlook.
How to do this?

  • Close Microsoft Outlook and then click 'Start | Run'.
  • Type outlook /cleaninders and hit [Enter].
  • This command should remove all saved searches from the Outlook mailbox.Sometimes this command does not do the trick immediately. Try it once again,and if it still does not work, download the utility 'PublicFixSearchFolders' from http://www.publicshareware.de/download/PublicFixSearchFolders.zip and run it. Delete the searches found under the Outlook personal folders and then run Outlook again. Your problem should be solved.

As far as I remember there is nice tool which works with mails,and it works likewise corrupted and deleted mails-pst opener,program helped me many times and has free status to the best of my memory,it works under Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista and all supported versions of Microsoft Outlook,will work fine for both experts and beginners, there are no any extra settings,program repairs more data, than other services, owing to its unique data recovery engine, developed by our engineers,can easily retrieve your mails, that could be lost without this program,will make a decision, which emails can be successfully retrieved from your mailbox,can preview analysis results during the next step, where you will be redirected after the analysis,retrieve all emails as a set of files in *.vcf, *.txt and *.eml format, that will be stored in any place you like,convert all documents to a file of PST format, this file can be opened offline by any email client.
