One thing on this IIRC outlook 97 was barely internet aware and capable.
My recollection was that outlook 98 was the first version that actually
worked with the internet properly. Prior to that I had to use other
tools because outlook just didn't work. And since outlook 97 is so far
out of the sup****t window (IIRC the oldest version still in sup****t at
all is outlook 2002 although 2000 I think went out not too long ago) I
would have to recommend using nothing older than outlook 98 and
preferably outlook 2000 because of how much better they work than
outlook 97 does.
