Outlook 2003 installations should be targeted for migration. Shown here are important upcoming support dates for recent versions of Outlook.

Paid support will still be available for Outlook 2003 SP3 through Apr. 2014, and the version still works with the current Exchange Server 2010. However, it is not compatible with the Office 365 services (launched in June 2011), and it will not be compatible with the upcoming Exchange 2013. Consequently, organizations should already be planning its replacement.

The Mainstream support end date for Office 2007 (including Outlook 2007) was moved out six months from the original planned end date to Oct. 9, 2012.

Outlook 2010 must now have Service Pack 1 applied to be eligible for support.

Date	Version	Event
Oct. 9, 2012	Outlook 2007	Mainstream support ends
Jan. 8, 2013	Outlook 2007	SP3 required for support after this date
Apr. 8, 2014	Outlook 2003	Extended support ends
Oct. 13, 2015	Outlook
