Microsoft has removed one of the updates this past Patch Tuesday. Problems have been observed with Microsoft Outlook 2007 on certain configurations. I have personally observed some of them.

1. Outlook may fail to connect if SPA (Secure Password Authentication) is configured for an account and the server doesn’t support SPA. Outlook connected to Google Apps is such a configuration.
2. Performance problems may be observed switching between folders if the account is not connected to a Microsoft Exchange server. I have seen this with my Google Apps account.
3. AutoArchive cannot be configured for IMAP, POP3, or Outlook Live Connector accounts unless there is also an Exchange account in the same profile.

If you are experiencing any of these problems, follow the instructions in the blog to remove the update. It’s a simple process.

Hat tip to the Internet Storm Center.
