Microsoft Mail in Outlook 2003

I just bought a new PC and Microsoft Office 2003 at work. We have been using Microsoft Mail internally. I cannot figure out how to setup the feature in 2003. Is this available? Should I downgrade to get the feature. Can anyone help me get the feature?

I updated the site for Outlook 2003 support - it's a rough draft and not
very pretty right now :-)

We don't have an installer for it yet either - probably within a few
days.

It all seems to work ok, except the address book fails - adding the wgpo
addresses to contacts works fine - or you can reply to add them to
autocomplete.

I tried the procedure outlined on the web page, but Outlook throws up
an error box whenever you try to use MSMail saying:

"This profile is incompatible with this version of the MicroSoft Mail
service. On the Tools menu, click Services. Click Microsoft Mail and
then click Remove. Then add Microsoft Mail back to the profile"

I'm trying to use the MSFS32.DLL from Outlook 97 (tried one off an NT4
machine and Win95 machine).

Any suggestions?
 
That's an error I haven't seen before... try a new profile with only ms mail
in it. Use the dll in the installer on the same site - run it, it should
install it in the correct location - only the ecf is not located correctly.

Thanks. That worked. One more problem though...according to the web
page: "Everything seems to work perfectly on Windows 2000, but Windows XP
doesn't like the MS Mail address book and returns an object not found
error. You can work around this by adding the other members of your post
office to your contacts folder."

How do I create a contact that will point to a MSMail address? Whats the
syntax and in what field?

To answer my own question...I was able to open the Address Book
and select the PostOffice list on a machine using Outlook97, select all
names, right click, Add to Personal Address book. Then, I took the
personal address book file (username.PAB) and imported it to contacts in
Outlook 2003.

The format of the postoffice address was something like
Windows/PostOfficeName/Mailbox but I never got anothing of that form to
work when typing it in manually.
 
For those who don't have an older version of outlook to work with - I could
open the address book without problems. it just wouldn't work for sending
mail. Your method of selecting all contacts and right clicking, add to
contacts works in Ol2003... :)

also - if you upgrade an existing installation it works - apparently some
registry keys are left behind in an upgrade that allow the address book to
work.
