Outllook goes Krazy ...

On-site install of SBS 2003 Premium with Exchange 2003. Fully up-to-date. Less than 10 Users. MS Store size on disc is 31 GB for teh STM and 19 GB for the EDB.

Two Users, mailbox sizes 11.7 GB and 10.2 GB; both using Outlook 2007, first cached mode second non-cached.

The second user (non-cached) complains almost everyday that Outlook freezes and/or restart itself when searches are made, when prints are requested, e-mails are forwarded, etc. The first user (cached mode) never have an issue.

Any ideas?

In addition, the store is being check recently for consistency without refelcting any problems.

We initiated an archive-to-pst process on the problem user and even though it did a lot in reducing the Inbox size, it eneded in a error while processing teh inbox items, something like the items were already moved or something.

10+GB for a mailbox is crazy big. You will definately have major performance problems in online mode especially. If you are trying to move some off to a PST, then you will need to do it in chunks - not all at once. Move the mail a few hundred at a time. Also be aware of store and PST size limits. Exchange 2003 SP2 defaults to 18gb total but can be changed to a max of 75gb. PST limits are 2gb or 20gb depending on the type of PST it is.

dons6718: Yes, but it is what it is. So would you recomend to use CACHED mode on the network for big-fat User's inboxes?

Thanks
