XCLN: Outlook Does Not Adhere to the CDO Security Settings in a Public Folder When Delivery Is Set to a .pst File (308203)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2000
This article was previously published under Q308203

SYMPTOMS

If Outlook has the security patch installed and is configured to read security settings from the Outlook Security Settings public folder, Outlook may not adhere to Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) security configurations when mail delivery is set to a local personal folder (.pst) file.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if CDO does not read the security settings for all of the configured information stores (for example, Exchange Server, .pst, and so on) and therefore does not check the Outlook Security Settings public folder when delivery is set to a .pst.
