The boss has been experiencing problems with Outlook in recent weeks.
What happens is that out of the blue, Outlook just stops sending email
through our server. There's no rhyme or reason to it, this just happens.
Except for this, when I have him restart his Outlook, it will work fine
again, until it happens again.
I have found nothing on the MS Support pages discussing this behavior and I
believe most of it is how he uses the application.
He will open up dozens of emails and leave them on screen for days on end as
a method of keeping track of what he is up to.
The only thing I can come up with is that there is some memory issue
creeping up in Outlook due to the fact the he never shuts the application
and the non-standard way in which he uses the application, leaving multiple
Outlook windows open for days on end.
Now, I have been experiencing some issues recently with Outlook myself, such
as it will suddenly no longer allow me to copy/past attachements out of
emails into other applications, such as explorer to store the file on the
server. A simple restart of Outlook fixes the problem.
I believe that both issues are related. Both also started happening shortly
after the release of several MS Windows updates about a month or two back.

Rob
