Expression Web breaks Outlook 2003 Junk E-mail Functionality

Installing the Expression Web Trial on a workstation with Outlook 2003 will result in Outlook's Junk E-mail feature ceasing to function. I have tested this in POP and IMAP accounts with the same result.

There are two solutions that worked for me to bring Outlook's junk e-mail processing back:

  1. Running 'Detect and Repair' from the Outlook Help menu
  2. Removing the latest Outlook junk email filter using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (with Show Updates selected) and reapplying it through Microsoft Update.
Expression Design CTP December 31 shutdown fix coming soon

Expression Design CTP fails (shuts down) after December 31, 2006.

Aparently a date-related bug prevents it from working beyond this date.  A fix should be available any time now.
