[...] > Anyone come across this type of issue before? Not exactly, but here's some more trouble-shooting ideas: Check the Event Viewer on both client and server for anything useful. If you don't find anything, turn up diagnostic logging for the server in Exchange System Manager and repeat until you do. Use a packet sniffer (WireShark, MSFT Network Monitor, etc.) to see what's passing on the wire between client and server. Check permissions on his mailbox (ADU&C, select user, Properties, Exchange Advanced tab, Mailbox Rights button). Check permissions on the public folders. Try EXMERGE to export his mailbox. Check the log, see if that flushed out any kind of useful diagnostic. If you've got multiple servers or storage groups, try moving his mailbox to a different one. Be warned that if the mailbox has corruption this may loose data, so have backups. If you get really desperate, you could try running ISINTEG on the Information Store, but that requires taking the Store offline, and is considered somewhat heavy-handed. -- Ben ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~ ~ Ninja Email Security with Cloudmark Spam Engine Gets Image Spam ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Ninja ~
