Outlook 2003 Compatibility

[Jordi Buch]

Can anybody tell me if there's any compatibility problems on Outlook 2003 with Exchange server 5.5? If you try to open the mailbox with Outlook 97, 2000 or 2002 after opening it once with Outlook 2003, it works, but Outlook (97,200 or 2002)doesn't close any more. The message "Wait while Outlook is being closed" remains in the screen forever, and the only way to close it is with the task manager
Does Outlook 2003 change something in the mailbox
Thanks for your help!

Yes, there is definitely a patch you need for the server. See http://www.slipstick.com/exs/exs55sp4.htm, under Post-SP4 Updates.

Thanks for your help! Now I only have to convince our Corporate Security Department to install the patch in the servers, and this is a hard task...
