Same problem. NHS helpdesk said their policy is to refer us to Apple as its an Apple problem.
Apple could not fix it and say its an NHS net problem.
Very frustrating.
Understandably frustrating, too. So the folks that are running a down-revision and now generally-unsupported and reportedly also customized Microsoft Windows Server Exchange Server mail server configuration — and that are now requiring a now-unsupported Microsoft Outlook mail client — are also suggesting that Apple is somehow involved in this morass? Interesting.
That's going to go nowhere, unfortunately.
This general sequence is how Microsoft has been dragging everybody forward for many years — incompatible new releases force older installations to (also) upgrade to allow access or interoperation or document interchange, etc.
As for NHS, have'm turn on Outlook Web Access if it's not already enabled, and use that. Or have'm turn on the Exchange Server SMTP connector, and use the Apple Mail.app client to access mail that way.
Otherwise with OS X, your options involve loading an older version of OS X — a version where the EULA permits that — into a virtual machine, and using an older version of Outlook there. Or using an older version of Outlook in a VM running Microsoft Windows.
If you have suggestions that NHS folks are unable or unwilling to address, you might want to contact the folks working at the Palace of Westminster. (Down-revision software tends to be insecure, and NHS deals with some sensitive data, after all.)
