Is the mail server outside your local network? What about your local/broadband connection?

 

by: AirtransPosted on 2009-10-15 at 01:05:11ID: 25578301

My email server ip is 192.168.21.10

 

by: ShakerBrownPosted on 2009-10-15 at 02:23:33ID: 25578711

Okey,
The Connection Between Your Outlook (Process ID:4040) And Server is only on

 TCP    192.168.21.7:1269      192.168.21.10:143
 TCP    192.168.21.7:4472      192.168.21.10:143
....
This looks fine, I dont think.. The Delay is occuring during the opertaion, its only while the mailbox is opned...(Correct me, if im wrong)

What is the Authentication Method - Supported By your mail server.. This could be the part which is creating the Delay...

Tools->Options->MailSetup ->Email Account -> Click Nect on "View or change Setting", Click "Next" -> Click on the tab "Change" ->  More Settings -> Secuity ...Here on the "Logon network Security" ->  Make sure you have choosen "Password Authentication(NTLM)...

when outlook connects to a 3rd party email server ... This could be the issue.. which may create the delay... After this, the password authentication and login could be faster... Try this...

 

by: AirtransPosted on 2009-10-15 at 02:33:46ID: 25578760

Okay beacuse the email type is imap we are using the mdaemon connecton for outlook.

 

by: ShakerBrownPosted on 2009-10-15 at 02:45:39ID: 25578831

Okey, Then... You have to Figure out where the authentication setting is located for IMAP ...yourself...
And like i said, if the delay is only during opening the mail, it could be becuase of the Mismatch of the Authentication method in server & client.. If the Delay is there during normal operation...then you may have to involve mdaemon guys... Or a Expert in mdaemon... here, can Answer you!

 

by: moorhouselondonPosted on 2009-11-19 at 13:42:06ID: 25865355

On Outlook, for the Server Address (POP3/IMAP), are you typing into that box 192.168.21.10 ?

What Firewall, AV program are you using on the Client pc's and on the Mail Server?  This may be holding up the download process.
