Are they using Outlook 2007 in Cached Exchange mode?  

If not is there are reason?

If so what are they trying to do when they report Outlook is slow?



<div>
Yes, they are. &nbsp;when it connects and starts &quot;Updating&quot; folders, &nbsp;and takes literally 10 minutes before they can access anything or send/receive.

I have remote users and travelers who have mailboxes on my Exchange 2003 server that are well over 1GB. &nbsp;when they are traveling and using a hotel wireless connection or an AT&amp;T wireless broadband card, the Outlook connection is so slow it's almost unusable. &nbsp;I try to tell them that that is to be expected, what with Outlook 2007 and huge mailboxes, and to use OWA instead.....I'm just looking for either &quot;reinforcement&quot; or if that's NOT normal, then some suggestions to fix. &nbsp;Thanks.
