It *shouldn't* require rebooting, but you're talking about a 10 year old client. Support has ceased for it, even patches.
Microsoft will continue to offer mainstream support for Office 2000 through June 30, 2004. The Office 2000 extended support period will last from July 1, 2004 through July 14, 2009. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Aldrich" <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> To: "NT System Admin Issues" <ntsysadmin@lyris.sunbelt-software.com> Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 1:30 PM Subject: RE: Issues with Outlook 2000 Yeah. Most of our people are on at least OL2k3, but there are a handful still on OL2000. :-( -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:kurt.b...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 1:09 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Issues with Outlook 2000 You probably should consider a switch or upgrade. OL2k is a finicky POP3 client, in my experience. If you want/need to stick with Outlook, that's fine, but if you're willing to look at other clients, Thunderbird and either Lightning or Sunbird (all from http://mozilla.com) might work for you.

I would start in Safe Mode, then go to the settings and change it to not pull any messages for maybe an hour. Then shut down outlook start it again and delete messages. Then after that shut down again and restart and change pull times back to original. I have seen something similar in the past but that was with a 100MB attachment going to about 50 users, I was running the POP server so I killed the message on the server to solve that problem. > > > > > > > > From: John Cook [mailto:john.c...@pfsf.org] > Sent: Monday, February 01, 2010 9:53 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Issues with Outlook 2000 > > > > Maybe start Outlook in safe mode Run > outlook.exe /safe > > > > John W.

Ive had several users who have had problems the last couple days because someone sent out a 12-meg attachment and their computers were powerful enough to download it. One user even had to reboot his computer, because Outlook still thought that 12 meg message was in their inbox, even after Id shut down Outlook, logged into webmail and deleted that message from their inbox. > > Were all on POP3, so no Exchange strangeness. And strangely enough, pretty much only Outlook 2000 users are affected. Anyone ever seen anything like this? Any switches to make Outlook go back and check how many messages there are to download? Before you ask, I did double-check that one users Outlook was completely shut down in Task Manager.
