I'm not real familiar with the server products or Lotus notes (don't know
if you use either) but did find this article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base that looks like it might help:
You receive a "WMS idle: lsmexout.exe - application error" error message,
and the Exchange Connector for Lotus Notes unexpectedly quits in Exchange
Server 5.5 or in Exchange Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=889316

Other than that article, the only consistent suggestion I could find was to
run a repair install on Outlook and reinstall Outlook updates (Outlook from
MS Office, *not* Outlook Express). Unfortunately, no replies on whether
that worked or not.

Also, if you are using Outlook on a home machine, you may have installed
the portion for Exchange server by mistake. If you don't connect to an
Exchange Server for your mail, you don't need this. Run setup again and
remove that component.
