I'm using it for Outlook 2007 for the past several months, and it generally works quite well. I don't know what version of CrossOver you're using, but if you're under current support you might try running our version 7.10 and seeing how it does for you.

What I find I have to run in VMware or Virtualbox are applications like Outlook 2007. With Outlook, I need to use RPC over HTTPs which seems to have problems with getting the SSL Certificate accepted using the CTRL PANEL Mail application. I also tend to use Office 2007 in VMWare or VirtualBox since I've had difficulties getting Office 2007 pro installed. In fairness, I've managed to get everything but Visio working on Office 2003 but the company I work at has moved to Office 2007 for word and document management. If I could get Outlook 2007 working with RPC over HTTPs this would be great but after a few attempts, I've basically moved to using VMware or Virtualbox for Outlook. Hi-
