INTRODUCTION

Microsoft has released a hotfix package for the 2007 Office system that integrates presence information, instant messaging (IM), and voice mail. The hotfix package improves the consistency of presence data between the presence provider application and Office. The hotfix package also improves other integration points. This includes voice mail.This hotfix package makes the following changes and improvements in the 2007 Office system:

  • The presence information that is provided by a presence application is now accurate in all scenarios.

  • Instant messaging to distribution lists is no longer supported in Microsoft Outlook.

  • The presence icon does not flicker when many people appear at the same time.

  • Presence requests from Office applications to presence applications are now handled correctly in all scenarios. For example, a Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 Web page now shows current presence information.

  • The icons that are used to display presence data are modified. Users who are red-green colorblind can now determine the status of other users.

  • In Outlook Search folders, the count for unread items that are hidden is now accurate.

  • When you start an Outlook Search folder from a separate application programmatically, the operation now works as expected.

  • You do not have to start Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 to discover a server that is running Microsoft Exchange Server. Outlook 2007 now provides an API to discover Exchange Server servers.
