RE: How does synchronization work?
Nothing's stopping me ... I just read the article, though it gives some nice ideas for decreasing the synch time (changing the reply/forward tracking options, etc), it still doesn't tell me how Outlook/Exch decides what items need to be synched or give me any idea of why a Sent Items folder takes so long even if there have been no changes (or only one or two small additions)...

How does synchronization work?
Can somebody explain to me what steps Outlook and Exchange take when performing a synchronization? Here's the scenario, Outlook 2000 SP1 client, Exchange 5.5 SP4 server... User has an Inbox with 4400+ items, about 6 megs worth of mail... Inbox synchronizes for offline use in about 30 seconds Same user has a Sent Items folder with 2100+ items, but about 200 megs worth of "stuff" (being polite, he's got big attachments)... Takes about half an hour to synchronize, every time.. Does Outlook have to compare each item in the folder every time it synchronizes? I'm assuming that it does and that's why it takes half an hour to synchronize (over a 384K WAN connection) every time the user needs to synch Outlook? If that's the case, wouldn't it be smarter for Outlook to keep some kind of change log while offline to assist in synchronizing only those items that have changed, and leaving other items alone? I'm not really looking for help here because I know the answer is (most likely) to have the user delete his larger sent items, but I'd like to provide a good explanation of if / why it takes so long every single time... Thanks in advance.
