Exchange 5.5 Support |
The official word from Microsoft on the usability of Outlook 2007
against an Exchange 5.5 server: "Microsoft continuously strives to provide a consistent and predictable end-of-life-cycle experience for all of its products. In accordance with standard Microsoft life-cycle policies Exchange 5.5 ended extended life-cycle support on January 10th, 2006. As a result, Outlook 2007 will not support Exchange 5.5. Because neither the Outlook or Exchange team is supporting this combination we will not discover and/or fix issues that crop up as the result of innovations in both products . Rather than subjecting customers to potential serious issues like data loss or frequent server downtime we choose to prevent Outlook from connecting to these older and now unsupported servers. Our research has shown that there is a relatively small set of customers who want to upgrade their desktops to the latest and greatest versions of Office and run server technology as old as Exchange 5.5. There are clearly exceptions but they don't seem to be the norm." For more details on the Exchange 5.5 support life cycle see the following page - http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/support/lifecycle/changes.mspx |

Frequently Asked Questions |
Will it install it on Windows 2000? No, Windows XP SP2 is required. Type winver in the Start menu, Run box to see what version you are using. Where is the Add-ins dialog? All security related options were moved to the Trust Center (on the Tools menu), including Read as plain text, Add-ins, Digital signatures, and blocked download content settings. I don’t want Word as my editor. How do I disable it? There is only one email editor now and it’s Word. How do I send email from Word? The "Office envelope" feature which allowed you to compose a document then click a button to show the email header fields and send the document in the body of an email message was removed from the toolbars but the command still exists. Look for it in Word or Excel's Tools, Customize and add it to their Quick Access toolbar. How can I change Outlook’s colors? From the Office icon in the upper left corner of Word (replacing the File menu), choose Word Options, Personalize and switch color schemes. At this time there are only two colors to choose from – Windows XP blue and Vista slate gray. Help! RSS feeds are in my Unread search folder. If you don't want RSS feeds in the Unread search folder, make a custom search folder and choose only the folders you want to search. Why doesn't Outlook have the ribbon interface? The main Outlook interface doesn't have the ribbon because it's so complex and they apparently didn't have enough time. The forms do use the ribbon, in part because they are built on Word. For a better explanation, read Jenson's blog about it: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/01/18/514300.aspx Where do I set up RSS feeds? All settings for all "accounts", including RSS feeds and Internet Calendars are in Tools, Account Settings. How do I move the RSS folder from my Exchange mailbox to a pst? You can relocate the folder RSS feeds go into, but need to do it one at a time as you create the RSS feed. See the Tools, Accounts, RSS tab. How do I set up newsgroups in Outlook 2007? Open Outlook Express. Does the beta expire? Yes, but not until February 2007. Where is the Week view? You know, the one with 2 columns you see when you click the icon that has a small calendar with a 7 inside it? That view is not available in Outlook 2007. It was removed because of issues with the calendar overlay mode. |
