Your assumption then is that this beta should be able to function flawlessly
in an upgrade scenario? That scenario has not even been tested yet because
it is not recommended or supported. Did you read all the disclaimers before
you downloaded the beta?
Instead of complaining that your beta software doesn't work, try some
troubleshooting. You should have several good clues to provide. You received
error messages, right? What were they? What are the answers to the rest of
my questions? What other programs do you have running that would affect mail
rendering? Email scanning software, for example, should not be run against a
beta (if at all).

Ha ha your funny. And lying through your teeth...

The point of these betas is to have monkeys like me do just that....

It still does not hide the fact that this beta is not operating as it
should
on bog standard, fully patched, fully updated, FULLY FUNCTIONAL MS Office
2003 PC's. To me, that is a major faux pas.

MS are really losing it lately. Fortunately I rely on GMAIL these days as
a
backup, for true MS supporter and afficionado like me, that is pretty
telling, dont you agree?

Anyway, you suggest I should create a new profile. OK Lets try that...

Why not try what I suggested first?
I don't know of anyone who has been willing to sacrifice a production
version of Outlook by installing a beta over it. Accordingly, that
scenario
has not been tested.
The first step to take whenever an in place "upgrade" has been performed
is
to create a new Outlook profile from scratch.
Reversion to a previous version is also an untested scenario. Common
sense
would suggest uninstalling Office 2007, Office 2003, then trying to
reinstall Office 2003. Hopefully, a reformat will not be required.

OK I'm prepared to swallow the fact that the emails I received in
Outlook
2007 Beta 2 are screwed beyond repair. I accept I am stupid for
expecting
MS
Outlook 2007 Beta 2 to enable me to, you know, read my emails, and,
maybe
even reply to them.

I accept that it appears MS Outlook 2007 Beta 2 was not designed to do
that.

So if I uninstall it, do I get my Office 2003 back and the facility to
read
my email? Or have I made a big boo boo?

Did you do that? Did it work with just an uninstall?

Provide complete details on how you installed the beta and

data and

Always create a new profile when you try an upgrade installation.

news Errr. OK, I realise this is a Beta. I understand it is a Beta 2.

I know things dont always work as they should and that I should
not
'rely'
on Beta software of any kind.

However, I 'think' I am safe in assuming that Outlook 2007 Beta
2
should
be
able to receive my email and actually SHOW me the content....

I am concerned, I installed it, it runs (sort of OK), it appears
to
do
what
it says it should, BUT, EVERY EMAIL I HAVE RECEIVED IN Outlook
2007
Beta 2
since I installed it IS BROKEN. I CANNOT SEE ANY CONTENT IN ANY
EMAIL
RECEIVED.

They come into my inbox, but if you look at the space below you
will see
how
Outlook renders them....


































So I am worried - surely a BETA2 would actually show me the
email!!! I
cannot imagine MS sending this out to folks.....

How do I view my emails?
