  Taken right from the outlook 2002 white 
  paper:Cancelable Server RequestOutlook has a new dialog box that shows 
  the user when Outlook is waiting on a response from the Microsoft Exchange 
  Server or Active Directory Global Catalog server. This dialog has a Cancel 
  request button so users can cancel the request and continue to use 
  Outlook.Users who do not want the dialog box to be displayed on screen can 
  use the check box to minimize it. This dialog does not necessarily indicate a 
  problem condition - just that the server has failed to respond to a request by 
  Outlook in a specified amount of time.Change the Timeout of the 
  Cancelable RPC 
  DialogIf the Cancelable RPC dialog appears too 
  often on a slow link and interferes with the user's ability to work, change 
  the default timeout value so that the dialog does not appear as often. 
  Changing the amount of time until the server communication times out is done 
  by altering the Exchange Server Settings. Exchange Server Settings are altered 
  in the same way described in the Choose the Connection Type at Start Up

Actually Ill tell ya what is goin on.

That 
status bar is new to XP.
That 
status bar was MS' way of removing RPC's that slow the client 
down.

If you 
were using Outlook XP on your lan, and your lan was slow, or were on a 10 MB

Its a

Exchange 5.5 SP4 on NT4 
SP6
Outlook XP and Outlook 
2000.

My coworker and I are trying to 
determine how Outlook really works. We have noticed that when we are dialed 
up on our laptops and connected to our network via an IPSEC VPN connection 
(same with PPTP), when we connect to Exchange via Outlook XP there are times 
we get a message that it is requesting information from the server and has a 
status bar. Under Outlook 2000 there was no information box like that. 


My argument is that under XP, it 
is telling you that is requesting information and this is normal operation, 
given that it's working on a dialup. I should clarify, that we get this box 
when we are trying to open email or change folders. He says this is some 
kind of error that needs to be resolved.

Can some one shed some light on 
this. If you need more information please let me 
know.

I think the info box is

And it certainly doesn't "remove" RPC's. It 
can cancel a call if you click the "cancel" button, but that's it.

Ok,
that makes lots of sense



Now the argument has moved to synchriozation. Like when does it occur.




The example being that you open Outlook,
you receive an attachment, you open attachmentwhere
are you opening it from? I say the server because Outlook does not Synch until
you either tell it to or close out, saying you have the switch turned on
