Back on December 14, 2010, Microsoft had an update for Outlook 2007 that was a major “fail”. If you are looking for a solution, Microsoft has a post on their blog with instructions on how to uninstall the update. Also, if you use Gmail or a similar email provider, you should be sure to check that the SPA box is unchecked. I waited several days to look online to find the solution. Hopefully this post will help a few other people and to get the word out farther.
