Description of how the product handles dates:
Outlook Express stores dates in the Macintosh DateTime format which is a 32 unsigned integer that denotes the number of seconds since January 1, 1904
2-digit shortcut handling:
Outlook Express inter-operates with other email clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "mm/dd/yy" format.
Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.
Product Issues:
When Outlook Express receives a message from an email client or newsreader with a date format that uses a 2 digit-year, it assumes that the century for the date is "19". With below fix, Outlook Express will assume that 50 û 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 û 49 are 2000 to 2049.
Recommendations to meet compliance:
Upgrade to the latest version of Outlook Express Macintosh Edition
Testing guidelines and recommendations:
Tests of mail servers for the year 2000 need to have Microsoft Outlook Express and the mail server (IMAP or POP3 and SMTP), transition to operate in the year 2000. For example, some servers may use a 2-digit year in message headers. While the Outlook Express team has tested operation with some servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.
- Authentication: If you use SSL connections to mail servers, verify proper authentication of authorized users, denial of others, and proper operation.
- Sort: Verify that messages are properly sorted in the message listview.
In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.
