For MS Outlook 2007 create the following registry entry:
in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\IM
(Reg_DWORD): SetOnlineStatusLevel = 3
The above entry can have a value of 0-3
This allows for Outlook to show Email Recipients Office Communicator Presence and its status. By default, presence information is displayed everywhere except in the To and CC fields. With this setting, configured to level of 3, you do not need to enable
any other setting in order to have presence information displayed.
If you are aware of MS Group Policy Preferences (GPP) - use this to deploy the above registry entry, as that works perfectly, assuming GPP functions in your environment.
Hope it helps.
This solved me the problem:

To enable Display online status next to a person name :
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\common\PersonaMenu\Enabled=1
To enable display online status in the To and CC fields:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\IM\EnablePresence=1
Hi all - thanks for the responses on this!
Our SetOnlineStatusLevel is already set to 3 and EnablePresence is set to 2, versus 1. (Having trouble at the moment locating documentation that covers the difference between 1 & 2.)
I created the PersonaMenu\Enabled dword value, set it to 1, and restarted Outlook - no change. I then set EnablePresence to 1, restarted Outlook - no change.
