More strange things in Outlook 2003

Hi

We've also just noticed the following. If you have your email list as the
central 'column' in Outlook (so your folders and nav pain (sic) are on the
left and preview pane on the right) and then reduce the with of the emails
list then at some point Outlook just decides that you should not be able to
change the width of the fields. It changes to some sort of fixed mode. Why?
What's the point of that?

Another thing. The live scrolling feature whereby you drag the scoll bar and
the contents of the window move as you drag the bar works on my inbox but
not on my sent items? In my sent items folder I have to 'let go' of the bar
before the list 'moves'. Weird. This can't be by design can it?

Any ideas anyome?

Cheers
Mike

This list view can't be reduced below about 100 pixels so you can't
accidentally close it.

I can scroll in both the sent and inbox with my mouse - what mouse do you
use and what driver is installed for it? There have been scrolling issues
with Logitech mice and drivers in the past.

I'm using a Microsoft Intellimouse Optical USB with the default Windows XP
drivers.
