Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package

The following issue is fixed in this hotfix package.

  • 884839 You can delete only one shared calendar at a time in Outlook 2003

The following issues are also fixed in this hotfix package, but they were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article.
  • Recurring meeting items do not appear in the Day, the Week, or the Month Calendar view in Outlook 2003. This issue occurs if the recurring meeting or appointment is in a personal folders (.pst) file or in the local offline folder (.ost) file that is used together with the .pst file when Outlook 2003 is configured to run in cached mode.

  • When you open an e-mail message in Outlook 2003, the e-mail message is downloaded for offline viewing. However, at the same time, the next or previouse-mail message in your e-mail queue is also downloaded. If this e-mail message is large or contains attachments, you cannot use Outlook 2003 until this e-mail message has finished downloading.

    This issue occurs if Outlook2003 is configured as an Internet Message Access Protocol, Version 4rev1 (IMAP4) e-mail client.

  • If you type an ambiguous e-mail alias in the To box of a meeting request and then try to resolve the e-mail address, you may receive the following error message:
    Property is read-only.
