Task Acceptance doesn't send update

[Guest]

When i accept a task that has been sent to me it does not sent the email
telling the person assigning the task that it has been accepted. It still
sends updates which just sit in the person who assigned the tasks inbox but
doesn't update their task.

Both computers are using Outlook 2003, the server is an Exchange 2003 server
and we are using POP3 to get the emails.

Any help will be greatly appriciated.

You've said conflicting things. Either it sends the Task Update or it
doesn't???

When the person receives the Task Update, they must open it and then shut it
for the data to be taken out of it and reflect in the Task Status.

In 2003 I often see that the Task Updates work OK (do update the Task) but
stay in the Inbox after opening and closing. Then you must manually delete
them. Not sure why - only happens to some of my clients and Microsoft not
aware of its cause either.

To clarify what is happening

I recieve the task, I open it then click accept
outlook sends no response to the other person

If I can get this fixed I think it should all work properly
