SYMPTOMS

In Outlook Mobile Manager you can mark messages in your Inbox with an Urgent or Non-Urgent ranking that is used with the learning technology. In some cases, messages that you marked may not appear to be "learned." After you add ranking to your Microsoft Outlook view, these messages display no ranking, as though they were never marked.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if you use a version of Outlook that is earlier than version 8.03. Although system requirements for Outlook Mobile Manager specify Microsoft Outlook 97 as the earliest-version e-mail client that is compatible with Outlook Mobile Manager, certain features do not work correctly with versions earlier than Outlook 8.03. Full functionality in Outlook Mobile Manager requires Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, upgrade your e-mail client to Outlook 2000 or later to ensure that you have full functionality in Outlook Mobile Manager, as well as the latest features for Outlook and year 2000 compliance.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
