Outlook 2007 users angry over Office 2007 HTML-e-mail changes
A quiet change Microsoft has made in the rendering engine used by Outlook 2007 is beginning to sink in among individuals who have gotten accustomed to having the Internet Explorer (IE) engine render HTML e-mail messages. And the reaction of many is one of anger and disbelief.

13.05.2007Microsoft releases stand-alone Outlook with CRM built-in
This morning, Microsoft has come up with a new approach to the problem for which some Outlook users have been asking for over a decade: It's amending
Outlook to be able to handle business contacts in a relational manner -- for example, to group customers by the contact who brought them to you, or to
maintain custom data on those customers. Contact management is being built directly into Outlook.
But there's a catch: Microsoft
Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, as the product will now be known, is a separate version of Outlook that will be integrated,
starting today, into Office Small Business, Professional, and Ultimate editions. For those who already have Office editions with the pre-existing
Outlook 2007, or who purchase Outlook or Office without the Business Contact Manager, the new version will be available separately as a replacement
for $149.95.

The Sidebar presented a great opportunity for Outlook to surface the same

used independently or together to provide at-a-glance information without the need to bring up Outlook.

1. The
ClearContext add-in - every since someone told me about this add-in, I've been using the heck out of it. Although I can only afford the free
version, I've found it unbelievably useful for categorizing my mail. Since I had been using a folders system prior to the Outlook 2007 upgrade, I

Each .PST file contains all of your Outlook folders, including the Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts. You can have a single

24.04.2008Microsoft Tries to Explain Away Outlook 2007 Controversy
Microsoft is trying to dampen
criticism by explaining its
controversial decision to
unify the rendering and
editing engines in Outlook
2007 and use only the Word
2007 engine, even though there
are some HTML and Cascading
Style Sheet attributes that
the engine does not currently
support. The move is a
significant change from
previous versions of Outlook,
which actually used two
rendering engines: Internet
Explorer's engine was used
for reading content, while
Word was used for editing
content when a user was
composing messages. Outlook
2007 now uses the HTML parsing
and rendering engine from Word
2007 to display HTML message
bodies.
However,
there are some HTML and CSS
attributes that the Word 2007
rendering engine does not
support, and Outlook 2007 now
does not use the same
standards as Internet Explorer
7. The move has not been
well-received by some
bloggers, such as SitePoint's
Kevin Yank, who said in a
recent post that instead of
taking advantage of Internet
Explorer 7, Outlook 2007 uses
the very limited support for
HTML and CSS built into Word
2007 to display HTML e-mail
messages.

31.01.2007Outlook Anywhere changes in Exchange Server 2007 SP1
In Exchange Server 2007 SP1, the configuration of Outlook Anywhere (formerly known as RPC over HTTP) has been changed to accommodate the different
ways Exchange CAS servers are deployed on the Internet. This blog post provides an overview of these changes.
In Exchange 2007
RTM, enabling Outlook Anywhere (using either the Exchange Management Console or the Exchange Management Shell enable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet) required
a mandatory parameter called ExternalAuthenticationMethod. This parameter was used to update Outlook 2007 clients using the Autodiscover service.
Changing this parameter, however, did not influence the authentication methods enabled on the /rpc virtual directory on IIS servers. As a result, both
Basic and NTLM authentication methods were always enabled even though Outlook clients would connect using only 1 authentication method. Additionally,
it was not possible to manually turn off an authentication method using the IISManager MMC snap-in, since every 15 minutes the Exchange Services Host
Service would automatically re-enable both Basic and NTLM authentication methods in IIS.
Note that if you had already enabled
Outlook Anywhere, the ExternalAuthenticationMethod parameter could also be specified through the set-outlookAnywhere task, and it had the same effect
as described above.
For further details, you can refer to
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123513.aspx For Exchange 2007 SP1, instead of always enabling
Basic and NTLM, Outlook Anywhere now provides the ability to choose the authentication methods that will be enabled on the /rpc virtual directory in
IIS.
