Hi,

I have Office 2003 with Outlook 2003 running on Windows 2000.
When sending emails from a different program, I can set Outlook security to
bypass further warnings for up to 10 minutes.
A customer, also with Outlook 2003, but updated from 2002, has to respond to
every email with a 5 second pause.

My questions:
Why the different behaviour?
How do I change the latter behaviour to the former?

Thanks

Thomas
 
Hi Thomas,
The security settings for Outlook 2003 can be found using the
Tools->Options->Security Tab and security zone settings button. It works
exactly the same way Internet Explorer handles security zones. To stop it
from causing problems you can lower the security setting to medium-Low. To do
this from the dialog box listed above click on the Internet Icon, then click
on the Custom Level button then select Medium-Low from the list and click the
reset button. Then click Ok. Outlook should now run with fewer interuptions.

I hope this helps and have a fantastic day

Kevin's reply described the security settings related to HTML-format messages; these aren't the settings related to the prompts you are seeing. For those, see http://www.outlookcode.com/d/sec.htm . You are describing two different warnings -- address book access has a 10-minute window, send access requires a five-second wait before each approval.
 
Hi Sue,

thanks for your answer.
But that is just my point:
Two different Outlook 2003 give two different security warnings.
My Outlook 2003 (and those of several of my customers) actually gives me a
10-minute window for send access, via a MAPI based application.

The two warnings are being triggered by two different code statements.
