I loved Lookout. Then we moved on to Windows 7 (while still using Outlook 2003 – just hate those ribbons).

Tried out every possible Version of Lookeen, up to the latest. Never successfully indexed, always crashes one time or another.

My boss definitely would pay the 30$ if it would work – but in my case it definitely does NOT.

So I’ll try to have Lookout working again, even if that’ll make me miss indexing Office .???x and pdf contents.

I loved Lookout. But since I use Outlook 2007 I had to find something else – in my company i was not allowed to patch software.

Gladly I found http://www.lookeen.net.
Its like Lookout reborn including a couple of nice features..

My boss paid the $30 and I am a very happy person again!

Cheers

If you are running with UAC enabled, Lookout will only load if you are running Outlook as an administrator.

To fix this, run regedit as an administrator and export the following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\AddIns\LookoutAddIn.Connect

Then run regedit as yourself and import these entries.

The Lookout toolbar will then appear

Don’t yet know if will successfully index everything for me, as I’ve loads of email and it’s still running.

Can anyone help me restore lookout? I run Outlook 2003/XP Pro in a big corporate environment. Recently, IT reloaded Office 2003 SP3 and now everytime Lookout 3.0 tries to access the mail folder on the server to index it I get:
Failed: QueryInterface for interface Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook._NameSpace failed.

Leon, you’re right about the PIAs – your patch solves that (I’ve had the impression fixing the version check wasn’t enough but it seems it is). I’ll update the steps.

As for using v1.2.0, this is the only one that I managed to run on Vista without crashing on indexing. And your patch holds on this version too.

Thanks for dropping by!

Hi Vlad,

The patch I created for Lookout should work in combination with the latest Lookout V1.3.0 only. Yet, you recommend people to install V1.2.0. You also recommend people to mess with the Office PIAs. The whole reason I wrote the patch was to prevent people from touching their Office PIAs. So I’m a little confused about your strategy here…

If you like SpamBayes, you might want to check out SpamBully too. It’s a bit more feature right. Runs on Outlook as well as OE and Vista Mail
