SYMPTOMS
When you use a third-party program that uses Collaborative Data Objects (CDO) to access a mailbox that is on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, the third-party program may stop responding.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when you try to access a user account that was previously accessed by a client computer that is running Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

Outlook 2003 adds a fourth entry to PR_FREEBUSY_ENTRYIDS, a MAPI property with multiple values that is stored in the Inbox folder. The Collaborative Data Objects (CDO) only expect three entries. This causes heap corruption that causes the third-party program to stop responding.
