You did not get EMS from "Win 2003" server CD, perhaps you mean "Exchange Management Tools" from the Exchange Server 2003 CD. Did you install Service Pack 2 for Exchange Server 2003? You should. Strictly speaking, the Exchange Management Tools (32-bit) are not supported on any computer where Outlook is installed (and vice-versa). See http://theessentialexchange.com/blogs/michael/archive/2008/07/06/outlook-and -exchange-on-the-same-computer.aspx and the articles it links to.

After much frustration without a fix, I decided to reimage my XP workstation. With a clean install of all applications, including Office 2007, my Outlook 2007 worked fine until today. Outlook is exhibiting the same symptoms again. Looking back to what was done to the machine recently, I remembered that I had earlier installed Exchange Management System (from Win 2003 Exchange server CD) so as to be able to use ExMerge to manage my Exchange 2007 mailboxes. The ExMerge tool is working fine but it must not be compatible with Outlook 2007. Here is a link to the steps that I followed to install it: http://www.pro-exchange.eu/modules.php?$1 <http://www.pro-exchange.eu/modules.php?$1&name=News&file=article&sid=881> &name=News&file=article&sid=881 Thanks!

When composing a message, Outlook 2007 acts as though it times out after about 2-3 minutes. When this happens, if I send the message, it ends up in the DRAFTS folder, with the message truncated. This happens whether I'm composing, replying or forwarding. OWA always works fine. 2. Perhaps related to the first issue, but I'm not able to open or save any type of attachments in Outlook 2007. I always get "Operation failed" message. Again, this issue is not seen in OWA. I have tried several times to completely uninstalled and reinstalled Outlook 2007 but the issues still come up. I have checked on the Web for for help but could not find anything. Please help! Ben
