== Running Outlook XP and James on the same machine ==
If you are still using Outlook XP (2002) and try to work with James installed 
on the same machine, you have problably ran into the same problem I have: this 
doesn't work reliably at all.

The symptom is likely to be that you cannot send messages nor retrieve them 
to/from the James SMTP and POP services: Outlook times out. Yet sometimes it 
works.

The reason is not James. It has something to do with Outlook XP on Windows XP 
(don't know about other combinations. The same problem exists if you send 
messages from Outlook XP to the Microsoft SMTP server '''if they are both 
running on the same machine'''. Don't ask me why.

The fix is to have Office SP3 installed and to define the following registry-key

{{{
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\UseInetcommCS as a DWORD
Set it to 1.
}}} 

I have been ennoyed and looking for a solution for the last 2 years...! I hope 
this will help others while Outlook XP is still alive.

The fix is documented here:
