Outlook 2007 Beta 2 - BIG problems

[Tom]

Errr. OK, I realise this is a Beta. I understand it is a Beta 2.

I know things dont always work as they should and that I should not 'rely'
on Beta software of any kind.

However, I 'think' I am safe in assuming that Outlook 2007 Beta 2 should be
able to receive my email and actually SHOW me the content....

I am concerned, I installed it, it runs (sort of OK), it appears to do what
it says it should, BUT, EVERY EMAIL I HAVE RECEIVED IN Outlook 2007 Beta 2
since I installed it IS BROKEN. I CANNOT SEE ANY CONTENT IN ANY EMAIL
RECEIVED.

They come into my inbox, but if you look at the space below you will see how
Outlook renders them....


































So I am worried - surely a BETA2 would actually show me the email!!! I
cannot imagine MS sending this out to folks.....

How do I view my emails?

I have the same problem as Sandy
Outlook 2007 Beta
1. Incoming emails are BLANK
2. Won't send outgoing emails

1) Disable the email scanning feature in your anti-virus software. You'll still be protected by its other features and by Outlook's own security.

2) Error messages? Other symptoms? What type of account(s)?

Hi

OK HUMBLE PIE and lashings of cream please.

David is absolutely correct. My AVG email scanner is the culprit and NOT
Outlook 2007 B2.

My apologies. I was wrong!!

Switched off email scanner and email received renders OK. Ahem. OOPS

Have I grovelled enough yet? Somehow I dont think so. Sorry to those I was
shouting at and sending smelly posts to.

Thanks.

I'm also using XP,office 2003. I first turned off the plug-in in AVG - no
help. Then uninstalled AVG - no help. All the email I xferred from 2003
xferred fine. messages read ok. Attachments ran. Videos ran. Now all I get
are headers and attachments. I am a novice and from reading these files have
learned NOT to try BETAS. I really like all the new 2007 products (except
Outlook). If I simply uninstall Outlook 2007, will Outlook 2003 reappear? Or
do I need Professional help? My wife is about to kill me. HELP!!!!

This is a major problem with this software. I have been having the same
problem ever since I downloaded it and replace outlook 2003. I have written
of it here several times and have had responses which blame the problem on
the antivirus software, which is not my problem. I have norton corporate
antivirus and have turned off the email scanner, and even removed it entirely
from the computer, and still blank emails. I am at the point of removing
2007 and reinstalling 2003 as I need to read the emails I receive as we are a
business dependent on web forms, and emails. This is a major problem, which
I am sure is being addressed but no-one will talk about it except Sue who
basically told me that I should expect problems with a beta and if I really
needed to read my emails, perhaps I should not have downloaded the beta. She
did explain that 2007 does not utilize the Internet Explorer to read html,
and since most of my emails that come in are html coming for the website,
they come in blank. funny thing is I can see parts of them in autoview, but
when you open them nothing. I will wait until this weekend when we can shut
down and get this mess out of the computer and reinstall 2003.
