Fixed: iPhone and Disappearing Appointments
There is a problem with iPhone v2 software syncing with
Outlook where the events created on the device are only visible
in a table view, not Day/Week/Month view.
When new appointments are entered into the iPhone they're set
as repeating in Outlook but contain no data and Outlook doesn't
know what to do with them. To fix, open the event on the iPhone
and change it to recurring daily then end the recurrence on the
date of the event before syncing.
A hotfix for Exchange server is available. See
Some recurring calendar items disappear
from the "Day/Week/Month" view in Outlook when a user uses Exchange
ActiveSync on a mobile device to modify a recurring meeting in an Exchange
2003 environment

An Outlook - IMAP Virus? No, Read Receipts
We're seeing reports from a lot of panicked Outlook 2007 users
who have IMAP accounts in their profile that Outlook is infected
with a new virus because it sends upwards of 50 hidden messages
every few days.
It's not a virus, its a bug involving IMAP accounts, the Junk
Email folder and Read Receipts. Outlook 2007 is not honoring the
Read Receipt settings and returning Not Read receipts when the
Junk folder is emptied.
Microsoft is investigating and until it's fixed, mark Junk mail
read within Outlook, before deleting it.

Outlook 2003 and MIME Error
If you use Outlook 2003 you may have noticed some
messages have the header in the message body, often when you
were BCC’d on the message. There is now a hotfix for this (and
other issues) available from Microsoft. For more information
see:

Contacts and Instant Search
The Instant Search functionality in Contacts doesn't always
seem to work correctly. Unlike the Find pane in earlier
versions, Instant Search appears to only search a limited number
of fields. However, the problem isn't that it can't search other
fields (such as notes) but that the index is bad. Try the search
using "All Contact Folders" and if it still fails, you'll need
to rebuild the index.

2008 Holidays
Outlook 2003's holiday list included dates through 2007. To
add holidays between 2008 and 2012, Outlook 2003 users need to
download the holiday update described in
MSKB 924423 then install the
Holiday file using Tools, Options, Calendar options, Holidays.
For more information and links to updated holiday lists for
older versions of Outlook, see
Missing Holidays on our Outlook-Tips website.
Can't open MSG attachments?
If you receive an error when opening forwarded messages (sent
as attachments), uninstall Google Desktop Search or revert to
the previously installed version.

Outlook 2007 SP1 Released

Assistant for Outlook 2007 SP1 combines the previously released
fixes into one update.
Another Outlook 2007 Calendar Printing Bug
This bug affects month calendars. When you start with a month
that extends over 6 calendar weeks (such as Dec 2007), each
month in the printout will contain 6 weeks and the calendar name will be in "last month - next month" format.
But if you begin the series with a month that spans just 5 calendar
weeks, all months will span 5 weeks. If a month spans 6 weeks, the 6th week is not printed at all.
This bug is not fixed by SP1.

Outlook 2007 Printing Problems
There are a number of issues with the print functionality in
Outlook 2007's calendar. Many of these problems are
addressed in SP1.
If the specific problem remains after installing SP1, ttry the
Calendar Printing Assistant
or other 3rd party printing tools. The CAP and other tools
provide better printing capabilities for those who need more
than the basics offered by Outlook. See
Calendar Printing Tools for Outlook for a list of printing
tools available.
Outlook 2003 SP3
Service Pack 3 for Office 2003 was released earlier this

released in updates or hotfixes. New features are all
security-related and most can be disabled by editing a
registry key, if necessary for your business.

Outlook 2007 Plain Text Spell Check Bug
When you use plain text formatting and set Outlook to check
the spelling before sending, it goes through the motions of
running spell check but the sent item and the recipients copy
contain spelling errors.
Until a fix is available, use F7 to initiate a spell check
before sending the message.
