1.3.2 Configuration of Outlook® 98/2000 for the server and client PCs


If you do not have Outlook 98 or Outlook 2000 please go directly to the next site.

For Outlook 98/2000 users:

Microsoft Outlook must be installed in Corporate or Workgroup mode

In Outlook 97, 2002, 2003, 2007 and 2010 this distinction does not exist.

The following dialogue therefore applies only to the Outlook 98 and 2000 versions.


The mode of installation can be checked in Outlook by way of... 

Help => About Microsoft Outlook


The installation mode can be changed by way of...

Tools -> Options -> Mail Services -> "Reconfigure Mail support"

If you have to change the mode from IMO to Corporate Workgroup mode, you will be asked to insert the installation CD. So please have this ready to hand.

Outlook must be installed in Corporate Workgroup mode.

If you are using Outlook 2002, 2003 or 2007 this changing is not necessary. The modes have been unified up to Outlook XP (2002). You don't need to change settings under Outlook 2002, 2003 and 2007.

After changing the settings, the following dialog box is displayed after choosing:

Tools -> Services:



There should be at least one "Personal folder" and an "Outlook Address Book" listed.


Important note:

With "Server" we do not mean a domain controller like the NT or Windows Server® 2003 Server, we mean the Public ShareFolder (POL) program.

The Public ShareFolder server must be installed on a Workstation that can be used as a "server" or on a "Domain controller" like Windows 2000 / 2003 / 2008 server.

On this workstation or domain controller must be an Outlook installed. This Outlook must be opened at least 1 time. This Outlook PST files of this "server" can be shared with an unlimitedd numbers of users.


The following considerations therefore apply:
