Microsoft Outlook for Macintosh, Exchange Server Edition, version 8.0, which ships with Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5, disables these features when running on the Mac OS 8.0 system software.

These problems occur due to a change made in Macintosh OS 8.0, not Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft is working closely with Apple to resolve these issues and will post more information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
