I support several users at remote sites. &nbsp;They are all running office 2003 and outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003. &nbsp;The users are reporting that a few times a day they get a warning that outlook is connecting to the exchange server. &nbsp;When this happens outlook freezes and they are forced to restart it. &nbsp;We have network monitors showing no dropped connections and the users are able to connect to other resources on the network while this happens. &nbsp;Some of the users have .pst files that seem to cause the lockup, others are running from the inbox. &nbsp;None have extremely large mailboxes. &nbsp;Our local users don't seem to have the same issues.<br />
All users are running most up-to-date office patches and XP updates.<br />

Any suggestions are appreciated.
