Well, I tried opening Outlook in safe mode and what a difference. It takes 17 seconds in normal mode and 8 seconds in safe mode.

That would be my guess :) -----Original Message----- From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 10:12 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING We're using McAfee for A/V, but the interesting part is in the afternoon, when I tested, Outlook opened just fine.

What do you have on the backend (AV product that may be scanning the store?) If everyone is experiencing this, I would start with the server / store and see what is occurring before I would point on the clients. If the store is ok, how about a switch? Bad port? -----Original Message----- From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 9:47 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING It's not a single user, it's everyone.

I just had an issue with a user and I had to break cached mode and reset cached mode and it started operating normally...strange but that was the issue... -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:mblackst...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 8:59 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING Try using it. -----Original Message----- From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2009 6:55 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING We are not using Cached Mode.
