How Can I Suspend the Security Check for Programs Trying to Access E-Mail Messages?

A

AA Smith

I'm running an Outlook Duplicates Remover. As a result, a message keeps
popping up alerting me to the fact that the duplicates remover is trying to
access e-mail addresses. That's fine ONCE! But when I click on the Yes
button to let it continue, the security protection insists that I limit the
time to a few minutes; 10 at most. That's nowhere near enough, and I'd
really rather not have to baby-sit that application all day. It will run
for many HOURS! So, I hope there's a way to temporarily (like for a day)
suspend that security check. So, I'd greatly appreciate your letting me
know how I might eliminate that security check for considerably more than 10
minutes.

I would help if you would say what security protection you are using on your
computer.

Ooooooppps! I did overlook that important detail, didn't I? Sorry 'bout
that

I'm using the WindowsXP Pro SP2 standard security only with Firewall
activated, though virus protection is off at the moment. For now, the
Privacy tab is set to LOW on Internet Explorer. I am not running any other
security systems at present.

Hi, again, Jane!

I may have also neglected to mention that the security warning concerning
programs accessing e-mail addresses is an Outlook error message generated by
Outlook 2003.

These prompts are from the Outlook Email Security Updates contained in all
current versions of Outlook and in all Service Packs after SP1 for Outlook
2000. These updates add additional actions to the list of those that are
blocked from accessing the Outlook Address Book. One of the add-ins or
programs you are using that access your Outlook Address Book needs to be
updated. Many add-ins were updated following the release of Outlook 2003 and
should work. If not you'll need to contact the vendor for a newer version.

http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2002sp3.htm#problems has a list of
applications known to trigger the security prompt.
