Outlook 2003 Performance Question

[jalee]

Hello All,

We use Outlook 2003 for our e-mail client with MS Exchange; there is some high level managment that have mailboxes in the GB in size. Obviously their Outlook is quite slow, does anyone have any good ideas on how to improve the performace in Outlook for them?

Performance would be based more on the Exchange servers and your local Domain Controllers. Outlook 2003 queries the DCs for info on your mailbox, and the DCs go to the Exchange servers for the actual mail data. The only thing that might slow down Outlook with mailboxes that size is the indexing process, but even that should not be an issue once it's been done for each folder.
