There's no such thing as a 60GB "threshold". Myself, I would look at the network.

I have a strange problem. My exchange server is running pretty slow. We are running Exchange 5.5, sp4. The priv.mdb is 58 GB, and has slowly climbed to that size, but performance SUDDENLY went to a crawl this morning. There are no strange (or error) events in the event log, SMTP connections are still working in/out and CPU & memory usage are generally low. Traffic on the switch is low as well. (BTW: I know there is a 60GB threshold that we are dangerously close to, but a new 2000 clustered Exchange server will be in place within 6 weeks.) I don't expect a list thread of "did you check.." (but I'd welcome it) but here is something strange: When I look at the list of mailboxes in Exch Admin on the server and sort by size, 4 mailboxes (each is quite large) get sorted above the empty mailboxes. So my sort looks like this: Mailbox Total K Total items User1 2,227,430 21,129 User2 2,535,232 18,538 User3 3,344,777 32,785 User4 3,444,626 57,871 User5 0 0 User6 0 0 User7 1 1 ...etc The bottom of the list looks normal enough...a few mailboxes some even near the same size. Has anyone experienced similar phenomena? I think I have noticed this in the past, and it may not be related to the performance, but it was bugging me. My suggestion was to clean up those mailboxes, export the content, then blow them away and recreate them.
