Does Newgator attempt to access Outlook's address book for any reason?

Since installing this morning I have been getting the alert from OL that something is wanting to access the address book.  OL them allows me the opportunity to give the "offending program" access to it for up to ten minutes at a time.  Then 10 minutes or so later I get the alert again.

Like I said at the start, this just started today when I installed Newsgator. 

Anyone else see this?

I am running Outlook 2003.

Thanks,

David

NewsGator does not in any way access the address book in Outlook.

This is a strange problem we've seen with a few Outlook 2003 installations, and so far it appears to only happen when using Exchange server, and then only rarely.  In many cases, a reboot clears it up...but we've found a few cases where the problem persists even after that.

We're investigating why this might happen, but so far no luck...for anyone who is having this problem, it would be helpful if you posted the details of your configuration.  Outlook version, OS version, and Exchange server version - thanks!

Greg,

Rebooting seems (so far) to have cleared up that issue.  I'll keep you posted if it should start again.

FWIW here is my info:

Outlook 2003

POP access

Windows XP Pro

Hi, this is happening to me too. I am running:

Outlook 2003

Win XP Pro SP1

Rebooting fixes it for the first retrieve only. The next retrieve will generate the error, but not always right then. Sometimes it retrieves OK, but the error will get generated on collapse of the newsgator folder or on close of outlook.

As for the errors, it seems to generate one error per post retrieved. So once you get tired of clicking you have to answer "no" which puts newsgator in an unhappy state. At least then you can reboot and everything will be fine - once.

I thought Exchange was a server side thing. How do I find out about it? Is it somewhere on my system?

It's there, but there is no versioning info.

Under "Email Accounts" there is a box, which says "Outlook processes e-mail for these accounts in the following order:" The box has two columns, "Name" and "Type." There is one item (=row) in the box, which has Name = "Microsoft Exchange Server" and Type="Exchange(Default)". It does not say what version of Exchange I am using, nor does it have any properties box I can access to find this info.

I hope this is the info you need?

Hmm...that was indeed the info I asked for; you do have an Exchange server account.

That said, it doesn't help diagnose the problem. We're looking into this - it's actually been difficult to reproduce (I know, not for all of you...but it's difficult to make it happen here!).  I'll post back here with more details as I have them...
