Oh, and for clarification (just in case anyone else runs across something like this) she did not have very many rules configured. She just had the common three junk mail filters.

Thought you'd like to know that we tried opening the mailbox with Outlook XP. A box popped up saying that it was applying rules, and after about 30 seconds, the mailbox opened normally. We then tried opening the mailbox in Outlook 2000 again and voila! - it worked like a champ. So, I'm guessing that something was goofy with her Rules. I will definitely file away your other good suggestions for future wierd problems. -Kirsten :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 8:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze Guess I should clarify a bit. This problem is happening on different machines, so it has nothing to do with her profile or with a PST. I can create a new profile on a computer that she has never used, setting it up for her mailbox. Then, when I open Outlook as her, glack! -Kirsten -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 5:19 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze Can anyone think of a reason that a mailbox could cause Outlook to freeze up? We're using Exchange 5.5 SP4, and the client is Outlook 2000. If I add the user's mailbox to my profile, I can open it up fine. When I create a new profile with the user's mailbox as the primary, and then open Outlook, Outlook freezes up. It opens the mailbox and I can see the mail, but Outlook no longer responds. This was reported to me by the user's support folks, and they tried it on two different machines. I tried it on my workstation as well with the same results. Nothing about the mailbox looks strange. It only has about 11 Megs of data. Permissions settings look correct. I would just say "let's try recreating the mailbox" but the user is at a remote location, so that might be difficult to arrange with her. If anyone has any insights, I would love to hear them. This is about the sixty-thousandth wierd problem I have had today and my brain has turned to jelly.
