Bad codepage when entering work items through MAPI service (M S outlook)

[Soady, Phil]

Dear Amit,
# appears sometimes when incompatible codepages are used on the servers and frontends.
 
What code page are you running on the PC with MAPI service.
Is this compatible with the Application server.
 
Did the workitem contain information entered under a 3rd codepage ?
Ie did any of the content originate from an incompatible codepage.
 
If All  codepages are identical. Register your problem with OSS.
 
Check the PC codepage , the codepage used for the mapi service ("advanced" tab),
and the code page of the Application server language. Check TXN SMLT.

Subject: Bad codepage when entering work items through MAPI service (MS outlook)
 
 
Hi all,
 
We are trying to use the MAPI service in order to enable our users to process their work items through MS outlook. The work items appear perfectly in their special mail folder, but when accessing SAP through these items the SAP screens appear with '#' signs instead of letters (just as if you try to enter a system through the SAP-logon pad, without defining a codepage in that entry in the logon-pad).
 
Can anyone direct me where is and what is the problem?
