So you're using Personal Folders at the workstation? How large are your PST files? Corrupted PST files can cause delays in Outlook opening up.

My interpretation of offline meant that the folders are not stored on the Exchange Server, but are included in the Outlook folder list. We did this to reduce the amount of space neede on the Exchange Server. We refer to these files as offline here.

From: Murray Freeman [mailto:mfree...@alanet.org] Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 5:24 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: OUTLOOK 2003 VERY SLOW OPENING I've done some research before posting this issue, and can't find any good suggestions, so I'm going to the "Source". We have Exchange Server 2K3 running on a Windows Server 2K3 and use the Outlook 2K3 Client. Recently we are having significant slowness upon opening the client first thing in the morning after logging into the network. Later in the day, if opening the client after closing the client, the client loads very fast, within a few seconds. We'd surely like to determine the cause of the slowness or at least a fix. Since we have staggered start times here, it's not like everyone is opening the client at the very same time. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Murray
