Outlook 2002 is 6 yrs old, 2 versions removed, less secure, is long past
support, and was not tested with Vista for all of those reasons. In my tests
and based on complaints I've seen, your problem is not typical - its more
like something is not set up correct in your profile. Like maybe
authentication. In any event, Microsoft will not fix it, for the reasons
stated in the first 21 words. Many people assume MS purposely made it not
work in Vista so people would upgrade, that's not true. They made changes to
the OS that meant some older software may not work in Vista. If anything
happens to work (and much does) then fine, if not so be it. changing Vista
to work with older software would be too cost prohibitive and introduce too
many bugs.

Is it 2000 or 2002? 2000 has a problem with the address book unless you
use corp mode- 2002 won't save passwords.

If it really is 2002, try a new profile. If that doesn't work, you'll
need to upgrade or use Windows Mail.


Thanks for the reply. That appears to mean I have to re-enter my
passwords once a week - not too bad, although I will probably end up with
O2007 pretty soon. Meantime, I presume the error - "Everything works but
outgoing email. Keep getting a message to check the email address." is
the big force for 2007?
