RE: Exchange Clients SLOW - Please HELP!
I have NetSheild running on the servers, but have turned off email alerts because of the great number of messages caused by Nimda yesterday... I have Groupshield Exchange running on the server to stop Nimda from coming in via email... Neither has reported a hit of Nimda since late yesterday afternoon. I am still receiving and am able to send email from my account, using my workstation with OL2000 but again it's so slow as to almost be unusable (though it's how I'm communicating with the list)... I have another machine set up with my mailbox and a mailbox rule going through my Inbox deleting each message created by the flood yesterday because if I try to delete the entire group of messages at once, Outlook hangs (I left it run overnight and it claimed that it was going to take 264 hours to delete the messages when I came in this morning!)... So that's why I created the rule... I'm just hoping that after all the messages are deleted (or I'm guessing there's one specific message that's causing all the problems) that things will return to normal, but I was hoping there was another way / something else I could do to get things back to normal ASAP.

When trying to delete the 8000 messages with OL XP, between each deletion I get the dialog stating that "Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange server" etc and pauses for 20-25 seconds between each message deletion... It gives me an estimated time remaining of 39 hours! Can anybody give me an idea how to best clear these things out of my mailbox, or why it's choking so bad on these messages, they're each only 560-580 bytes (plain text messages)... Server is Exchange 5.5 SP4... Please CC: replies to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since my Exchange Box is almost unusable! TIA!
