Description of how the product handles dates:
All dates are stored internally the same as they are for the Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value.
2-digit shortcut handling:
Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation.
Outlook Express inter-operates with other email clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware.
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. 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.
- Timed Message Deletion: On a POP3 account, when a copy of the mail is left on the POP3 server and "remove from server after x days" is indicated, verify that messages are properly deleted after x days.
- Autoconfiguration: The IEAK allows for downloading of new settings and restrictions maintained by an administrator on a server. Options for auto-configuration include updating settings by date and by a timeout value.
In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations.
Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.
