ID: Q195079

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 98

SYMPTOMS

After a manual synchronization (point to Synchronize on the Tools menu, and click All Folders, or This folder), a synchronization log such as the one below may be saved to your Deleted Items folder:


   Subject: Synchronization Log:

CAUSE

The Exchange Server provider was changed to require certain MAPI session requirements, and Outlook 98 was not adjusted to meet the new session requirements.
