What functionalities available in Microsoft Outlook 2003 are not available in Outlook 2007?
Warning: The file format used by Office 2007 documents is incompatible with older versions of Office, including Office 2003. For ways to open Office 2007 documents without installing Office 2007, see If I don't have Office 2007, how can I open Office 2007 documents? The Student Technology Centers (STCs) at Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI are now running Office 2007.
| Feature | Description | Reason for change | Migration path, if applicable |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACT! and Schedule Plus | No longer supported | No longer used or has other supported import mechanisms | Use a previous
version of Outlook to import the data into a .pst file
for Schedule Plus import, and use that .pst file in Outlook
2007.
|
| Attachments | New user interface and enhanced functionality; can now preview attachments | ||
| Calendar | New Week view Free/Busy bar does not show on Calendar items if item is Busy Meeting icon is removed from Calendar items Default detail level of Month view is changed |
Simplifies Calendar interface and allows more text to appear on Calendar items | |
| Email categories | Categories no longer assigned to incoming mail, and are not automatically reassigned to replies and forwards | Categories visually louder with Colored Categories feature; categorized mail often perceived as spam | |
| Forwarding out-of-date meeting requests | If you try to forward an out-of-date meeting request, Outlook automatically sends the most recent copy of the meeting. | Prevents out-of-date meeting requests | |
| MAPI DLLs | User interface and functionality for MAPI DLLs are separated, with functional DLL installed in a language-agnostic folder under OfficeVer. No effect on end users. ISVs must use LoadLibrary and the default search path to load the Outlook MAPI Provider. If they do not, the ISV is broken. | Smaller Language Interface Pack (LIP) downloads | To load the Outlook MAPI Provider, use LoadLibrary and the default search path. |
| Non-delivery receipt | When a mailbox is full, submission fails on the client side rather than on the server side; recipients still receive a message stating mailboxes are over the message limit. | Change made in response to customer feedback | |
| Personal Address Book | Personal Address Book, an ANSI
address book (part of Outlook 96) removed, replaced by Outlook
Contacts in Outlook 97. Personal Address Book entries were stored in
the local computer files with the extension .pab. Outlook
2007 does not support .pab files. |
Outlook Contacts
provides more functionality than .pab files. |
During
configuration, all contacts in the Personal Address Book are migrated
to the default Outlook Contacts folder. You can choose to
move your contacts to a different folder, or cancel the migration
and import the .pab file later. The .pab
file continues to exist in the file system, but the Personal Address
Book is not accessible from Outlook. You cannot re-add the Personal
Address Book, because Outlook does not provide this as an option in
the email account configuration.

| Reply in IRM email | Replies to protected email messages in Office 2007 contain the original text. The replier can add comments, but cannot extract the original content. When a user replies to a Do Not Forward email message, the original content is preceded by a yellow bar telling the user what actions can be performed. Users can still view and respond to all protected email received from earlier versions of Outlook. | Customers' request, so as to provide feedback to protected email | Install Office 2003 Service Pack 2 or the Office 2007 release. |
| Scripting agent | Using Outlook to administer Exchange Server
scripts is possible only by downloading the Scrptxtn.dll
file from the Microsoft Download Center |
Low-use feature | Download and install Scrptxtn.dll from the
Microsoft Download Center.

Tools menu's Options) are now in the Trust Center |
