Outlook tags all messages as Urgent!

[rbertram]

I have gotten reports from others that all messages that when I or anyone else at my company sends email through Outlook 2000 (not Express), they are tagged as urgent. The messages are not tagged urgent when they are sent.

I have tested it by sending messages to my personal email account and when the messages arrive in Outlook, they are marked as "Normal", but if I view them through Webmail, they are all marked as "Urgent". I have also tested this from my PCs at home, and they all do the same thing.

Has anyone heard of this problem? Is there a fix/patch?

Here is part of one of the message headers that show it as "Normal" priority.

X-Priority: 3 (Normal)
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0)
Importance: Normal

My first suspicion would be a rule on the mail server or some other mail server problem.

I thought the same thing, so I tested using 3 different SMTP servers. Two from different ISP and one internal. The same thing happens with all messages.

I tested the SMTP servers using email in Mozilla and the problem does not exist. It is definately a problem with Outlook.
