A few techs there told me the same thing. And I've come to rely on their
techs as being some of the best in the field, though of course nobody is
all-knowing.
They said the more robust features (like colors I believe?) wouldn't fully
tranfer/sync across properly due to the lack of support on the 2003
server-side for the newer, more robust features that exist in the Outlook
2007 cleint.
Are you saying everything will work at 100% while my client is 2007 and my
host's server is 2003? And will maintain at 100% when the change their server
to 2007?
