ACT-To-Outlook Professional errors are generally followed by a code and a string that explains the error. From past experience, ACT-To-Outlook Professional generates very few errors once it is setup. The product has been out for over 2 years and we believe that most bugs have either been found or exterminated (literally). Ever so often we get calls re. errors and here is a list of actions you can take to resolve the error:

Errors with retrieving Outlook Folders
This error occurs when you've changed folders in Outlook and ACT-To-Outlook Pro cannot find the default folder. The message is in general:

"ACT-To-Outlook Professional: Error on retrieving Contacts Folder"  
"ACT-To-Outlook Professional: Error on retrieving Appointments/Calendar Folder"  
"ACT-To-Outlook Professional: Error on retrieving Journal/Activities Folder"  
"ACT-To-Outlook Professional: Error on retrieving Notes Folder"

Out of Memory Error of Vbox Error
This can occur if you are converting many history items into the contact's body text (the part in Outlook contact where you can write). There are various solutions problem:
1.Disable converting history to body text in the Activities options  
2.Set a date filter so that only contact activities after a certain date are converted  
3.Clean up your database of old history records  

This is a limitation in Outlook when you put large amounts of text into the contact's body.

Also, make sure that you are running version 5.0.18 or later of ACT-To-Outlook Professionalwhere a fix has been made available for this issue.
