Browse All TopicsMostly PC's in our office but we have about 4 Mac's. We run SBS 2003 with Exchange Server.
Our Mac Users are using OS X 10.4.7 - Mail version 2.1
I have Exchange enabled with IMAP access.
Apple Mail works but it is often painfully slow - taking forever to show messages, or frequent connection timeouts, or goes offline
I really have no idea what else to do to solve the problem - I have gotten the users to reduce the size of their mailbox, I have entered in the server's IP address instead of full name etc etc.
The users would prefer to use Apple Mail - they are not interested in using entourage or OWA.
Has anyone else experienced these issues and if so, would you have any suggestions for improving the performance of Apple Mail?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
