Unsupported version of Exchange Server

[Dale White]

Hi,

I was using Outlook 12 Beta1TR no problem. I uninstalled it - installed Beta
2. Now I get a dialog "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The resource
that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft
Exchange Server. Contact yada.."

Are there new requirements for exchange server starting with Beta 2? If so,
where can I get details?

TIA
Dale

We're trying to find out.

EX 5.5 was unsupported with earlier versions but worked. They seem to have
put in code that kills any EX 5.5 access in beta 2. It's not a good way to
go even if it is unsupported, although I'd hate to access the same mailbox
with Outlook 2007 and earlier versions of Outlook, too many schema additions
and changes.

Thanks! Please let me know if you do find out.

Ken, please do let us know if you find a workaround. Here is the same
issue - I need to connect to Exchange Server 5.5, and could do it just
fine "couple of builds" ago, but not with Beta 2!

Google did not find this thread at first for some reason, so I ended up

No work around, and it seems that as of now the restriction on connecting to
EX 5.5 is permanent.

The only answer at this point is not to use Outlook 2007 if you are
connecting to an Exchange 5.5 server. Exchange 2000 is the earliest version
of Exchange now supported with Outlook 2007.
