SYMPTOMS
In the Direct Mail Manager, when you click Outlook Folders in the Locate List dialog box, you receive the following warning message:

A program is trying to access e-mail addresses you have stored in Outlook. Do you want to allow this?

If this is unexpected, it may be a virus and you should choose &quot;No&quot;.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you have installed the Outlook E-mail Security Update. The Outlook E-mail Security Update provides additional levels of protection against malicious e-mail messages. The update changes the way that Outlook handles attachments and the way that Outlook can be controlled programmatically.

For additional information about this update, please see one of the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, depending on which version of Outlook you have:

STATUS
This behavior is by design with the Microsoft Outlook E-mail Security Update.
