The first hotfix (KB2501627) addresses an issue where users of smartcard-based authentication are locked out the first time they enter an incorrect PIN, ignoring the PIN lockout policy setting. (This hotfix is also included in the cumulative update.)

Other issues addressed by KB3475891 include opening an .eml file in Outlook 2007, the To and Cc fields are not displayed and the following issues with shared mailboxes:
- The meeting request is deleted from the calendar when a tentative response is deleted from the Inbox.
- Outlook crashes when you try to view another user’s calendar.
- Opening an email message that has a read receipt request generates an error message: "Cannot open this item. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object. See the folder contact or your system administrator. "
- Adding an attachment that exceeds the message size limit to an existing email message in a shared mailbox but does not generate a warning that the attachment exceeds the allowable size.
