Outlook 2003 Professional. Exchange Server 2003.
I have an Outlook client who connects to our exchange server over the
internet using "RPC over HTTP" to make the connection. Below is a
description of his problem, a problem I have had reported by others with the
same configuration. What might be causing this?
Microsoft Outlook – I connect and it sends and downloads. Then, after a
minute or so, I see a red exclamation point in a yellow diamond in the
Outlook icon which is at the bottom right of my screen where all the programs
that are running show. When I put the mouse over the symbol a message saying
“Microsoft Office Outlook is requesting data from the server†pops up. It
stays up from then on and if I quit the program the Outlook window closes but
it doesn’t really quit. I can go into the Windows Task Manager under the
“Processes†tab and it shows Outlook as still running. I know this is true
because if I start Outlook again it doesn’t ask me for the password for the
server; it just opens up the Outlook window. It isn’t able to connect to the
server. However, if I “End Process†in the Task Manager and quit Outlook
that way, when I start it again, it asks me for the network password. Then
it connects, downloads, sends, and I get the same symbol saying it is
requesting data. This cycle repeats itself every time I want to send an
email.
Also, it hasn’t fully synced the Sent Message folder because it hasn’t ever
kept the data window open long enough to finish that process.
