Additional Issues Fixed by the Update

In addition, the following issues are fixed.

Some Signed Messages Open Slowly

If you receive an invalid certificate on a signed message, Outlook may open the message slowly as it tries to download the correct certificate.

New Messages Are Duplicated If the Folder Is Switched During Synchronization with Hotmail

If you switch to a Hotmail folder while that folder is being synchronized by a background operation, new messages may be duplicated in the local PST (but not on the Hotmail server). If you delete the duplicate messages, the data is lost.

Personal Folders (.pst) File Opened in Windows Explorer Corrupts Data

If you open a Personal Folders (.pst) file while in Windows Explorer and associate the file to "Open With Outlook," the .pst file may become corrupted.

Support Added for New S/MIME Certification Extension

Support has been added for a new extension to certificates that specifies the S/MIME capabilities of the client.

Moving Items Between Outlook Folders Can Take Up to 30 Seconds

If you drag items between folders with an Exchange Server and a Hotmail account in the same e-mail profile, Outlook may stop responding (hang). This only occurs if the Hotmail account is in the e-mail profile.

SPA Does Not Prompt for Credentials and Message NDRs

When you connect through a different ISP than the one that requires SPA, SPA does not prompt you for credentials, and then you receive an NDR.

Appointments Marked Private Are Visible with Reviewer Rights

When you rest your mouse pointer on someone else's private appointment in the meeting planner scheduler, the private appointment subject is visible as a ToolTip.

Outlook Performs AutoComplete of Names Slowly in the Meeting Planner

When you schedule meetings, Outlook slowly performs the AutoComplete of e-mail names from the global address list, if the list is not your default address list.

Disabling Password Caching on IMAP Accounts Is Added

The ability to disable the "Remember Password" option on IMAP accounts, in order to disable password caching, is added.

Outlook Fails to Check the Personal Address Book for Recipient Certificate

When you send a digitally encrypted message by using Outlook 2000 SR-1, and Outlook is configured to the option "Keep Personal Address in" a .pab file, Outlook fails to find the recipient's certificate. This results in the following error message:

"@hotmail.com" Is Not Appended to the User Name When You Create a New Account

When you create a new Hotmail e-mail account, "@hotmail.com" is not appended to the user name.
