Outlook 2007 Beta Rendering Problems

[Guest]

I have just installed 2007 Beta and many of the emails I have in Outlook are
unable to display the main body of text or message.

Turn off the email scanning feature of any anti-virus tool running on your system.

This helped the performance of my install tremendously, but what should I now
use to scan incoming mail? Is there a live product beta?

Thanks,
Mike Oswalt

 

[ah]

I use Trend Micro PC-Cillin Internet Security 2006. It works like a charm.

Between the file scanning that your anti-virus program does and Outlook's own security measures, you don't really need email scanning.

There is no need to scan incoming mail. Outlook's security features and your
real time scanning are more than sufficient.

What is the latest on malware issues that do not originate from attachments
(which Outlook blocks)? A couple years ago, I read that there were none in
Outlook, but is that still the case considering all that can be lurking in
HTML? This is assuming, of course, that Outlook didn't send the mail in
question to the Junk folder (where it's locked down).

I think another reason people might scan email is that if they forward a
mail with an infected attachment, the person on the other end is subject to
it.

They are mistaken.

 

[Milhouse Van Houten]

There was a first question there, about whether it's possible to get a
virus/worm in Outlook not via attachment, but your answer apparently was in
reference to the second part. If I receive a virus-laden attachment in
Outlook, and then forward that message to someone else (not running
Outlook), you're saying they don't get the attachment? That's interesting.
Where did it go?

They are mistaken.

there is no need to scan - outlook blocks, your AV on autoprotect blocks,
many mail servers scan in and out bound... scanning email locally is really
pointless.

BTW - if you scan inbound and use autoprotect, why would you need to scan
outbound?

Why are you forwarding infected attachments? Outlook won't allow you to
access them and your AV on autoprotect won't let you save them - if through
some amazing feat you are able to forward it to someone without AV detecting
it and neither mail server is scanning for viruses, their virus scanner on
autoprotect will stop them from running it.

if you are unable to trust yourself, uninstall 2007 and use 2003 and scan
your email... for most people, it's not necessary to scan email.

Thanks, Sue, I was having the same problem, and turning off my email incoming antivirus, seems to have worked...Larry

 

[Guest]

HAD THE SAME WITH AVG EMAIL SCANNING ON....have reported it to them with no
answer yet....

ALSO

Since I had my email server accounts set to KEEP MESSAGES ON SERVER...I was
able to get all my email again BY DELETING THE ACCOUNTS AND RECREATING THEM,
THEN DOING A SEND/RECEIVE AGAIN.

I did, and there is still a problem, in fact this response came in blank on
my outlook

 

[Sue Mosher [MVP-Outlook]]

"This response"? Since Outlook doesn't do NNTP newsgroups, it's a little hard to follow what you might actually have been seeing.
