Outlook XP Hangs

[Basurg]

Hi Experts,

I am facing very peculiar problem with outlook XP.

We are using Exchange 5.5 as mail server & outlook XP as mail client on windows XP. Outlook XP hangs when making send/recieve, we are downloading all messages to personal folder. If messages are downloaded to mailbox then outlook works fine, but I cant choose this option for all the users as it eats up my storage on server.

Even I downloaded & installed olk1005.exe from microsoft but still the problem persists.

Kindly suggest me some solutions.

Regards,
Basavaraj

Need some more information:

Where are the personals folders located, on your PC or a network drive.

Did this used to work at one time?

Does this work for some but not all?

What size .pst's

Anything else you can think of?

The PST is stored on local drive i.e c:

This happens only for the first time in the morning we have kill outlook.exe for thrice then we all the messages will download.

This problem is facing by all users whose mails are stored on personal forlder & the size of pst varies between 500MB to 800MB.

Thanks,
