Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Office 97 Service Release 2 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.Prerequisites: OUTLLIB.DLL version 8.04 for Outlook 8.0 - 8.03 users. This patch is available in Office 97 SR-2, which can be downloaded at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/Articles/sr2fact.htm. The changes in Office 97 that were made in SR 2, including Y2K updates, are listed in http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q151/0/20.asp. All Y2K issues reported as fixed in SR2 exist in SR1 and in the base Office 97 product. This issues addressed by this update exist in all Office 97 releases, including SR 1 and the base release.The Microsoft Outlook Support for Lotus cc: Mail from the Outlook 97 ValuPack is Year 2000 compliant only with the update obtained from the Office 97 SR-2 Patch. Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century. For more information on these issues and to download the 097dtfix update please see Knowledge Base article Q197237.Description of how the product handles dates: Storage. Dates in Outlook 97 are stored and manipulated as full dates. Dates are integral to the product's operation. The system clock is used for current date and time data. Formatting. Dates are displayed in 2-digit and 4-digit formats, using the short and long date formats specified in the Regional Settings applet in the Control Panel. Date entry fields parse and accept inputs that follow the formats specified in the Regional Settings applet. Parsing on date entry. Outlook 8.0x employs a two-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field's reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is limited to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. If you are using Outlook 97 version 8.0, 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, obtain the 8.04 version of OUTLLIB.DLL from the Office 97 SR-2 Patch to properly handle short dates when scheduling events that span the century boundary. If you are using Microsoft Outlook 97 SR-2 (version 8.04) or Microsoft Outlook 98 (version 8.5.5104.6) then you do not need this update since the fix is already included in those versions of Outlook.
2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079. Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century. For more information on these issues and to download the 097dtfix update please see Knowledge Base article Q197237.Common date usage errors: 1. Outlook originally parsed dates that are entered with 2 digit year components in an unexpected way. If you enter 12/25/99 into a date field, the date will be parsed and stored as 12/25/2099 instead of 12/25/1999. This behavior has been resolved with the patch indicated below. There are two areas of Outlook in which this parsing behavior commonly manifests itself: Several places in the Outlook User Interface parse date entries and will show the unexpected behavior. For example, in the calendar module, if you choose "Go To Date" from the Go menu and type in "12/25/99", Outlook will take you to the day 12/25/2099. Because two digit years are parsed in an unexpected way, if you have custom forms that make calculations based on dates, these calculations may appear to be incorrect. When a date is entered and displayed using only 2 digit years, there is no visual clue that the date has been parsed to the next century. For example, suppose you have a form that allows a user to enter a purchase date, and then uses script to calculate a warranty date 1 year in the future. If this form only shows two digits for the year entered, then the user can type 12/1/99 in the purchase date and the warranty date is calculated as 12/1/2100. This is because the original date was parsed as 12/1/2099. Since the form only shows 2 digits years for dates, both dates APPEAR to be correct and display as 12/1/99 and 12/1/00. Internally, the dates are stored and evaluated as 12/1/2099 and 12/1/2100. The updated OUTLLIB.DLL version 8.04, available in the Office 97 SR-2 Patch, changes the parsing behavior to the expected results. 2. For end-to-end compliance when using Outlook 97 as your e-mail client, you need to use a Year 2000 compliant mail server, including Exchange Server 4.0 SP5 or Exchange Server 5.0 SP2 or greater. Note that other parts of e-mail connectivity need to be Year 2000 compliant as well for full compliance, for example client transports, server connectors, gateways, etc. 3. The Microsoft Outlook Support for Lotus cc:Mail from the Outlook 97 ValuPack is Year 2000 compliant only with the update obtained from the Office 97 SR-2 Patch. The resolved issue is simply that 2-digit shortcuts were assumed to be 19xx dates. Testing guidelines and recommendations: In general, avoid testing in a production environment because one cannot predict side effects with other non-compliant products. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products and with Exchange Server can be conducted safely. The system clock should be advanced to future dates to properly test features, such as appointments and tasks that use the current date as reference dates. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back.Additionally, users should enter dates using 4-digit year information instead of using the truncated 2-digit year format. Furthermore, developers should use 4-digit year formats on form controls to help ensure the correct/desired date is entered and recorded. If you use Outlook to send or view Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer custom forms, please note that the Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer is a Visual Basic 4.0 16-bit application. It will default 2-digit dates to the century of the current system date. The Short and Long date fields on custom EFD forms are stored as string values. These custom date fields will not sort or filter correctly. Please see the Visual Basic (16-bit) Product Guide for details on Visual Basic 4.0 compliance issues. See the Microsoft Exchange Server Product Guide for details on server compliance issues. If you install Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0x, see the Internet Explorer Product Guide for details on Internet Explorer compliance issues. Outlook 97 uses a number of Microsoft Office 97 shared files for the implementation of task automation, online help, installation, graphics, file find and file I/O. For additional information that is appropriate for Outlook 97, please refer either to the document for the particular Office version that this application came with, or, in the case of a standalone product, to any version 97 Microsoft Office document. | ||

Operational Range for Data: April 1, 1601 through August 31, 4500 for the Gregorian Calendar April 1, 2144 through August 31, 3957 for the Thai Buddhist Calendar How the product handles dates:
Obtain the updated OUTLLIB.DLL and OUTLLIBT.DLL version 8.0.0.6021 from When using the Gregorian calendar, Outlook employs a 2-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field’s reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is limited to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. The Thai Buddhist calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar by 543 years. The current Buddhist year is the Gregorian year + 543. For example, Gregorian 1999 is Buddhist year 2542. When using the Buddhist calendar, Outlook accepts 4-digit year entries in the operational range: years 2144 through 4500 (1601 through 3957 by the Gregorian calendar). Outlook does not accept 2-digit year entries when using the Buddhist calendar.
Two-digit shortcut handling: To interpret 2-digit year entries while using the Gregorian calendar, Outlook employs a date window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the system’s short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern a valid date from what the user input. Only when a valid date cannot be interpreted is a notification message generated. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant’s Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079 (Gregorian). As mentioned above in the Parsing on date entry section, 2-digit year entries are not supported when using the Buddhist calendar. Four-digit year dates are unambiguous and are interpreted as is when using the Buddhist calendar.

This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.Prerequisites: The Microsoft Outlook Support for Lotus cc:Mail from the Outlook 98 ValuPack is Year 2000 compliant only with the update referenced in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q190629:Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century. For more information on these issues and to download the 098dtfix update please see Knowledge Base article Q193604.Description of how the product handles dates:
When using the Gregorian calendar, Outlook employs a two-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field’s reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is set to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. When using the R.O.C. era calendar, dates are parsed into the corresponding R.O.C. era years. The current year is the number of years from the start of the R.O.C. era, 1 January 1912, with year 1912 being R.O.C. era year 1. For example, Gregorian year 1998 is R.O.C. era year 87. When using the R.O.C. era calendar, 1-, 2-, and 3-digit year entries are unambiguous and are interpreted as is. That is, if using Y/M/D format, "87/3/12" is R.O.C. 87 March 12th (Gregorian year 1998) and "105/3/12" is R.O.C. 105 March 12th (Gregorian year 2016).
2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. As mentioned above in the Parsing on date entry section, all 1-, 2-, and 3-digit year entries are unambiguous and are interpreted as is when using the R.O.C. era calendar. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079.

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Outlook 98 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.Prerequisites: The Microsoft Outlook Support for Lotus cc:Mail from the Outlook 98 ValuPack is Year 2000 compliant only with the update referenced in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q190629:Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century. For more information on these issues and to download the 098dtfix update please see Knowledge Base article Q193604.Description of how the product handles dates:
When using the Gregorian calendar, Outlook employs a two-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field’s reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is set to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. When using the R.O.C. era calendar, dates are parsed into the corresponding R.O.C. era years. The current year is the number of years from the start of the R.O.C. era, 1 January 1912, with year 1912 being R.O.C. era year 1. For example, Gregorian year 1998 is R.O.C. era year 87. When using the R.O.C. era calendar, 1-, 2-, and 3-digit year entries are unambiguous and are interpreted as is. That is, if using Y/M/D format, "87/3/12" is R.O.C. 87 March 12th (Gregorian year 1998) and "105/3/12" is R.O.C. 105 March 12th (Gregorian year 2016). Note that the Import/Export Wizard only accepts dates in the Gregorian calendar format. 2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. As mentioned above in the Parsing on date entry section, all 1-, 2-, and 3-digit year entries are unambiguous and are interpreted as is when using the R.O.C. era calendar. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079. Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century. For more information on these issues and to download the 098dtfix update please see Knowledge Base article Q193604.Common date usage errors:
Testing guidelines and recommendations: In general, avoid testing in a production environment because we cannot predict side effects with other non-compliant products. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products and with Exchange Server can be conducted safely. The system clock should be advanced to future dates to properly test features, such as appointments and tasks that use the current date as reference dates. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. Additionally, users should enter dates using 4-digit year information (Gregorian calendar) or specific R.O.C. era year information (R.O.C. era calendar) instead of using a truncated 2-digit year format. Furthermore, developers should use these specific year formats on form controls to help ensure the correct/desired date is entered and recorded. If you use Outlook to send or view Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer custom forms, please note that the Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer is a Visual Basic 4.0 16-bit application. It will default 2-digit dates to the century of the current system date. The Short and Long date fields on custom EFD forms are stored as string values. These custom date fields will not sort or filter correctly. Please see the Visual Basic (16-bit) Product Guide for details on Visual Basic 4.0 compliance issues. See the Microsoft Exchange Server Product Guide for details on server compliance issues. See the Microsoft Internet Explorer Product Guide for details on Internet Explorer compliance issues.

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Outlook 98 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.Prerequisites: The Microsoft Outlook Support for Lotus cc:Mail from the Outlook 98 ValuPack is Year 2000 compliant only with the update referenced in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q190629Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century. For more information on these issues and to download the 098dtfix update please see Knowledge Base article Q193604.Description of how the product handles dates: Storage. All dates in Outlook 98 are stored and manipulated as full, 4-digit. Dates are integral to the product's operation. In all instances the system clock is used for current date and time data.

Date entry fields parse and accept inputs that follow the formats specified in the Regional Settings applet. Parsing on date entry. Outlook 98 employs a two-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field's reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is limited to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. 2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079.

When using the Gregorian calendar, Outlook 98 employs a two-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field’s reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is set to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. When using the Emperor Era calendar, dates are parsed into the corresponding Emperor Era years (Heisei, Shouwa, Taishou, and Meiji). Only H, S, T and M, both upper case and lower case, are valid initials for the year. Please see the two-digit shortcut handling section below for details on Emperor Era year parsing. Note that the Import/Export Wizard only accepts dates in the Gregorian calendar format. 2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. When using the Emperor Era year format, an initial character is used to indicate the year: H, S, T and M (both upper case and lower case) for Heisei, Shouwa, Taishou, and Meiji. For example, "H7/12/1" is "Heisei 7 December 1". If the initial character is omitted, year entries are converted into Emperor Era years as follows: 1/1/1 through 1/1/7 - Shouwa (S64/1/1 through S64/1/7, respectively) 1/1/8 and beyond - Heisei Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079. Importing 2-digit year information from text files into Outlook may result in some years being interpreted incorrectly. For additional information on this issue, please refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at Q193604.Common date usage errors:
Testing guidelines and recommendations: In general, avoid testing in a production environment because we cannot predict side effects with other non-compliant products. Interoperability testing with other Microsoft Office products and with Exchange Server can be conducted safely. The system clock should be advanced to future dates to properly test features, such as appointments and tasks that use the current date as reference dates. Note that reminders for future appointments may be set off during this testing and will not re-notify when date is set back. Additionally, users should enter dates using 4-digit year information (Gregorian calendar) or specific Emperor Era year information (Emperor Era calendar) instead of using a truncated 2-digit year format. Furthermore, developers should use these specific year formats on form controls to help ensure the correct/desired date is entered and recorded. If you use Outlook to send or view Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer custom forms, please note that the Microsoft Exchange Forms Designer is a Visual Basic 4.0 16-bit application. It will default 2-digit dates to the century of the current system date. The Short and Long date fields on custom EFD forms are stored as string values. These custom date fields will not sort or filter correctly. Please see the Visual Basic (16-bit) Product Guide for details on Visual Basic 4.0 compliance issues. See the Microsoft Exchange Server Product Guide for details on server compliance issues. See the Microsoft Internet Explorer Product Guide for details on Internet Explorer compliance issues.

Each date field’s reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is limited to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. The Korean Emperor Era calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar by 2333 years. The current year is the Gregorian year + 2333. For example, Gregorian 1999 is Emperor Era year 4332. When using the Korean Emperor Era calendar, Outlook accepts 4-digit year entries in the operational range: years 3934 through 6833 (1601 through 4500 by the Gregorian calendar). In addition, it also accepts 1601 through 2099 and converts them to Korean Emperor years 3934 through 4432. Two-digit year entries are assumed to be in the 4300’s. Note that the Import/Export Wizard only accepts dates in the Gregorian calendar format. 2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. To interpret 2-digit year entries while using the Korean Emperor Era calendar, Outlook assumes the 2-digit entry is in the 4300’s. Entries 00 through 99 map to 4300 through 4399, which correspond to years 1967 through 2066 in the Gregorian calendar. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079.

Outlook 98 employs a two-digit date window that spans from 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from a reference date. Each date field's reference date is either the current date or a related date field. The date range for printing an Outlook calendar is limited to 30 years prior to and 70 years forward from the current date. 2-digit shortcut handling: For 2-digit year entries, Outlook employs a window that includes 30 years back and 70 years forward from a reference date. If a date is entered that does not match the systems short date format, a standard algorithm is used to attempt to discern what the user meant. Only if no valid date can be made is an error generated. Certain features in Outlook are designed to use different parsing algorithms that better fit their particular context. The Birthday and Anniversary fields employ a window that includes 95 years back and 5 years forward from the current date, while the Inbox Assistant and Out of Office Assistant's Advanced rule settings use the range of 1980-2079. Importing 2-digit year information from text files into Outlook may result in some years being interpreted incorrectly.

Product Maintenance: While Microsoft continues to recommend that customers install the most current Service Pack/Release for non-Year 2000 reasons, we understand that, for many reasons, this may not be possible. In order to aid our customers' Year 2000 efforts, Microsoft intends to maintain Outlook 98 as compliant through January 1, 2001. Newer Service Packs are also to be maintained as compliant, and may include additional non-Year 2000 updates. This is intended to minimize the Year 2000 as a reason to upgrade.Prerequisites: The Microsoft Outlook Support for Lotus cc:Mail from the Outlook 98 ValuPack is Year 2000 compliant only with the update referenced in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q190629Importing or exporting text files with dates formatted with two-digit years may result in some years being designated in the wrong century.

Description of how the product handles dates: All dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. 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 and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format. Product Issues: In versions of Outlook Express prior to Internet Explorer Service-Pack-1, 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". This behavior is changed in Internet Explorer 4, Service Pack-1. With Service Pack-1, Outlook Express will assume that 50 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 49 are 2000 to 2049. Recommendations: Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack-1 includes fixes to these issues and is available on the Microsoft web site for English versions. SP-1 will be available in the 3rd quarter of 1998 for other languages.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 popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

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 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 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.

Product Issues: In versions of Outlook Express prior to Internet Explorer Service-Pack-1, 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". This behavior is changed in Internet Explorer 4, Service Pack-1. With Service Pack-1, Outlook Express will assume that 50 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 49 are 2000 to 2049. Recommendations: Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack-1 includes fixes to these issues and is available on the Microsoft web site for English versions. SP-1 will be available in the 3rd quarter of 1998 for other languages.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 popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.

Description of how the product handles dates: All dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. 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 and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format. Product Issues: In versions of Outlook Express prior to Internet Explorer Service-Pack-1, 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". This behavior is changed in Internet Explorer 4, Service Pack-1. With Service Pack-1, Outlook Express will assume that 50 – 99 are 1950 to 1999 and 00 – 49 are 2000 to 2049. Recommendations: Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack-1 includes fixes to these issues and is available on the Microsoft web site for English versions.

Release Date: September 1997, December 1997This document pertains to Outlook Express version 4.01. Outlook Express 4.0 has date related issues that are resolved by installing Outlook Express 4.01 Service Pack 1 or Service pack Internet Explorer download area in addition to the updates recommended below.How the product handles dates: Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. Two-digit shortcut handling: Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation. Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format. Product Issues: Outlook Express (OE) 4.01 (SP1 or SP2) receives an IMAP mail message or a News message with a 2-digit year as the sent date, the date can be misinterpreted under certain conditions. If the 2-digit year is anything other than "99", OE will assume the century value is the same as the current century. If the current year is 2000, and a 2-digit date is received as "97", then the year will be interpreted as 2097. However, there is one special case when different logic is applied. If the 2-digit year 99 is received and the current year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 2000), the year will be interpreted as the current year plus 98 (e.g. 2098). For More information, please review Knowledge Base Articles Q234680 or Q234681.Recommendations: (1.) Update Outlook Express 4.01 to either Outlook Express Service Pack 1 or Outlook Express Service Pack 2. (2.) Apply the appropriate version of the Outlook Express year 2000 update.

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.
In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations. Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Release Date: September 1997, December 1997This document pertains to Outlook Express version 4.01. Outlook Express 4.0 has date related issues that are resolved by installing Outlook Express 4.01 Service Pack 1 or Service pack Internet Explorer download area in addition to the updates recommended below.How the product handles dates: Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. Two-digit shortcut handling: Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation. Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format. Product Issues: Outlook Express (OE) 4.01 (SP1 or SP2) receives an IMAP mail message or a News message with a 2-digit year as the sent date, the date can be misinterpreted under certain conditions. If the 2-digit year is anything other than "99", OE will assume the century value is the same as the current century. If the current year is 2000, and a 2-digit date is received as "97", then the year will be interpreted as 2097. However, there is one special case when different logic is applied. If the 2-digit year 99 is received and the current year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 2000), the year will be interpreted as the current year plus 98 (e.g. 2098). For More information, please review Knowledge Base Articles Q234680 or Q234681.Recommendations: (1.) Update Outlook Express 4.01 to either Outlook Express Service Pack 1 or Outlook Express Service Pack 2. (2.) Apply the appropriate version of the Outlook Express year 2000 update. The software update is found here.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 popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.
In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations. Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

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.
In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations. Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.

Release Date: September 1997, December 1997This document pertains to Outlook Express version 4.01. Outlook Express 4.0 has date related issues that are resolved by installing Outlook Express 4.01 Service Pack 1 or Service pack Internet Explorer download area in addition to the updates recommended below.How the product handles dates: Dates are stored internally as Win32 FILETIME structures. The FILETIME structure is a 64-bit value representing the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since January 1, 1601. Two-digit shortcut handling: Outlook Express does not generate 2-digit shortcuts for date representation. Outlook Express inter-operates with other e-mail clients and newsreaders. Some of these older clients may not be year 2000-aware and send messages with dates in a "dd/mm/yy" format. Product Issues: Outlook Express (OE) 4.01 (SP1 or SP2) receives an IMAP mail message or a News message with a 2-digit year as the sent date, the date can be misinterpreted under certain conditions. If the 2-digit year is anything other than "99", OE will assume the century value is the same as the current century. If the current year is 2000, and a 2-digit date is received as "97", then the year will be interpreted as 2097. However, there is one special case when different logic is applied. If the 2-digit year 99 is received and the current year is a multiple of 100 (e.g. 2000), the year will be interpreted as the current year plus 98 (e.g. 2098). For More information, please review Knowledge Base Articles Q234680 or Q234681.Recommendations: (1.) Update Outlook Express 4.01 to either Outlook Express Service Pack 1 or Outlook Express Service Pack 2. (2.) Apply the appropriate version of the Outlook Express year 2000 update. The software update is found here.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 popular servers, verification of Outlook Express should include testing of the below items within your environment.
In addition, contact your mail server vendor for their Year 2000 status and recommendations. Some potential year 2000 issues may be content-specific.
