I blame Bigman.

In all seriousness though, outlook has always given me a bunch of problems. I stopped using it eventually.

solution to all email problems = use gmail
accessible anywhere, virtually unlimited storage, no problems whatsoever.

and outlook is the biggest resource hog ever, and it refuses to shut down unless you kill the process

yeah, I have a gmail account, looks like I'll just have to give up on the old charter account all together

why are you using IIS?

I had problem with IIS and .NET application i wrote which uses outlook.dll whatever library to read from generic outlook template and dynamically create a new one and then Oft.Display() to start Outlook with the subject, body and other things populated. Well it worked through my development machine, but when i had my server running through IIS, there is no way to get it working. Bunch of crap...Not sure what are you trying to do. In my case i contacted Microsoft and they don't support it, it's possible but it requires bunch of changes on server and client box which is not possible in my company, so i ended up writing mail system (email lookup and other things) in app itself which worked nicely :)

As I said not sure what are you trying to do but it looks like my case...
