Outlook does not respond - Exchange offline...

S

SamJ

I use Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 for mails as part of my work as our
corporate requires us to use the same. The Outlook windows stop responding
to
any user interface events (mouse click/keyboard) when outlook application is
contacting the Microsoft Exchange server and the exchange server is offline.
Till the communication times out the outlook windows cannot be minimized,
closed, used.
The worst thing is since Microsoft Word is used by outlook for mail editing.
Even Microsoft Word stops responding during the above said period.

I cant understand how Microsoft can overlook such a major but basic
problem. I do not know if this a specific problem with my configuration but
I
use the typical configuration for installation.

No, this should work just fine especially with Outlook 2003. Do you have
Cached Exchange Mode configured?
