Hi, Damian. I can tell you about my experiences – I hope it helps but maybe it won’t.
I drag four or five outlook messages to my MLO inbox every day. At about the same time, I delete them from my outlook inbox, which moves them to the Outlook “Deleted Items” folder. I generally have no trouble clicking the hyperlink in the MLO task and bringing up the original email (even though it’s still in my trash). However, a while later, somewhere between a few weeks and a month, the error message you cite comes up. I don’t ever empty my inbox, I keep the old stuff forever, but Outlook does eventually move each item to an archive. I have not studied it but my impression is that the “operation failed” message starts around the time where the message gets archived. So I’m guessing that moving from one folder to another in the same .pst file preserves the link and moving it to a different .pst (such as archive) breaks it. I haven’t tested this but if it holds, you could postpone the problem by picking a longer autoarchive interval in Outlook. -Dwight From: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com [mailto:mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of damoski Sent: Monday, December 22, 2014 12:31 AM To: mylifeorganized@googlegroups.com Subject: [MLO] Outlook 2013 - The Operation failed Hi, I've tried drag/dropping an email into MLO Task View, to create an entry with an Outlook: unique URL in the notes. However, if I then move the email (because I'm processing my inbox and creating tasks), then I get this error when trying to click on the link. No matter what I do, I can't use the link to open the email. I assume that this is because moving the email changes the unique URL, and even moving it back changes it back again. Can anyone advise if there's a way to 'fix' this. Or any other way of achieving this workflow? This has been an issue since I started using MLO 4 years ago, but is still a pain and makes it harder to use seamlessly.
