I see this issue in the Sent Items folder on an Exchange account having Cached Exchange Mode turned on. Reportedly, turning the Cached Mode off solves the issue. The Outlook version used (Outlook 365 in my case) seems to be irrelevant as Google reports a similar conflict to occur in Outlook 2007... Read the rest of this entry →

Ty Anderson | November 15th, 2012
I appreciate lots of things about life. I’ll skip the normal stuff of family and friends… they’re a given. I’ll also skip fine wine, scotch, and a good steak.
