Problems with updates Outlook 97
 

I downloaded the updates so that my outlook 97 would run with windows XP.
However, although it should work, it's still not perfect. Sometimes there
are problems with the SMTP or POP settings and also it doesn't check for
emails every 15 minutes (not vital, but useful).

When I upgraded it was suggested that perhaps with "modern" email account
even an upgraded outlook 97 wouldn't cope.

Should I just dip into my pocket and just buy office 2000 or later and avoid
these problems? Or should I carry on and try and sort out the problems?

Have you installed the Internet Mail Enhancement Patch? That's the best
Internet mail transport you're going to get for OL97 and even that is
somewhat lacking in today's world.
