- When you try to configure an Outlook profile to connect to the Exchange server through the MAPI over HTTP transport protocol and there is a mismatch between the server certificate name and the server principal name, Outlook does not warn you by using the certificate warning dialog box. Instead, Outlook remains in the "logging on to mail server" stage, and never logs on.

- Consider the following scenario:
- User A and user B’s mailboxes are hosted in Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.
- Both user A and user B use Outlook 2013 with Cached Exchange Mode enabled.
- User A shares his or her mailbox with user B, and then user B adds user A’s mailbox as a shared mailbox.
- You mailbox-migrate Exchange Server 2010 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2013.
- You implement the MAPI over HTTP transport protocol.
- User B starts Outlook, and then opens the shared mailbox.
In this scenario, the shared mailbox is never updated with new email messages.
- Consider the following scenario:
- You have two forests.
- You have an Exchange Server 2013 server in the first forest.
- You have Exchange Server 2013 co-exist with a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2010 server in the second forest.
- You have a mailbox hosted on the Exchange server that is in the first forest.
- After you install the Office 2013 hotfix package described in KB 2825657, you connect to the mailbox by using Outlook 2013.
In this scenario, Outlook can only retrieve the service connection point (SCP) record for Autodiscover of the Exchange server in the second forest.
