Slow moving messages to public folders

[wkdtech]

Hi All,
I have an Exchange 2000 server in my company's corporate office that serves that office and several branches. We have a folder structure set up in the public folders such that users drag and drop project related email to the appropriate folder for all to access. This works fine for the folks local to the server, however the same process in the branches is very slow. It's almost as if Outlook is copying the message to the branch and back into the public folder. Does this sound logical? Is there a way to tell Oublook / Exchange just to copy the message from one store to another locally on the server itself? Hopefully this hasn't been too confusing! Thanks!

By the process of dragging and dropping, this copies the files to the folder and not moving them. This downloads the file and uploads it again to the public folder.

If you want the emails to be moved then you the 'Move to' option in the edit menu. This requests the server to move the at the server end.

I so wish I would remember to read my posts before submitting them!
