Outlook 2007 from Office 2007 Professional Plus - Send/Receive hangs at 97%

OS: Ubuntu 11.10
Crossover: Trial 10.1.0-1
Arch: x86
Office 2007 from Office 2007 Professional Plus SP2

I successfully installed Office 2007, setup Outlook to connect to my hosted exchange server. Initially Outlook wouldn't start due to the SP2 issue of a c:\office12 folder being created. If followed the instructions to change the shortcut to point to the office12 in Program Files, so it looks like I'm running w/o a service pack.

I am using "Connect to Microsoft Exchange using http" and have a proxy defined. (same as my WinXp setup)

When outlook starts it usually says it is offline. Hitting Send/Receive brings up the password prompt and after that the send/receive goes to 97% and hangs there.

I've:

  • run CCleaner a few times
  • tried cached and non-cached
  • set the linux MTU to 1024, prior to this it was rarely connecting, now it goes quickly to 97%
  • set MTU in the registry setting in the bottle, but I think the example in the forum isn't the right key
  • tried Connect using HTTP first and then TCP/IP both checked and unchecked

While it is trying about 17 ntlm_auth threads are spawned winserver gets 50% CPU and Outlook.exe get 50% of 4 cores.

I've been pouring over tips, forums and defects for a few days and am running out of ideas.

Got any?

Thanks,
Todd

I also swapped in a native dnsapi.dll to address the error message that is was out of date (or wrong version I forget which)
