Default Outlook 2007 and Programmatic access

You might want to try Thunderbird email client by Mozilla (folks same that
produced the web browser Firefox) www.mozilla.com. I was able to configure it
to forego the programmatic access warning when using MAPI to send email. Set
it as your default email program.

It is a calendar program that has some features Outlook doesn't offer. In
its email module, you can set up either internet (pop3) accounts, or use MAPI
on the computer (or both). If you are using the MAPI client, then you can
optionally use "Extended MAPI". When using "Extended MAPI", I do not get the
security warning; however, the attachments to emails sent from TimeMatters do
not get sent by Outlook. I had understood that the "Trust Center" feature of
NOT giving warnings if the antivirus program was up to date was to permit
users to elect not to use Extended MAPI yet still avoid the security
warnings. All of that said, is "Simple MAPI" just regular MAPI as opposed to
Extended MAPI? And what are "Collaboration Data Objects"?

My hunch is that they are using either Collaboration Data Objects or Simple MAPI. Neither of those is affected by the Programmatic Access settings. Those are only for applications that use the Outlook object model.

THere's no way to know if that's what they're doing except to ask them.

The program is TimeMatters for Windows, ver. 8, Professional Edition. The
warning window says something to the effect of "Another program is trying to
access Outlook's address book (or perhaps it says database or mail or
something else). Do you want to give the program access" and then I can
choose to permit or deny access, and specify a time in 1,2, 3, minute
increments.

It's impossible to say without any information on what the program might be doing or even which warning you're seeing.

I am trying Outlook 2007 primarily to avoid the security warning I get from
OL 2003 if I have a different program have to use its email client. In
Tools/Trust Center/Programmatic Access I have selected no warning if my
antivirus software is up to date. I have also tried this with the more
dangerous selection of simply not getting any warnings if another program
tries to access. However, when using the one program I would like to provide
access for, I still get a security warning and have to manually authorize
access. This is true with either the default of not warning if antivirus is
up to date (my Norton AV is updated as of today) or no warning at all. Why
would I still get security warnings?
