My client messaging software is outlook 2000. It connects to a single Exchange 2000 server with about 250 users. All has been fine for about three years up until now. Problem When a user receives an email with an attachment >300K outlook becomes very unresponsive until it finally opens after about 30sec. Internal emails are OK, it seems only when they are received from an external source. Tried So far. I have disable Sophos antivirus on Server and PC. Stopped Sophos purmessage. Restarted services, and also rebooted the server. Paine preview, journaling off etc Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Regards Peter
Once the attachments are there it should make no difference. So check the obvious - GCs, in fact all FSMOs. Run perfmon and check CPU and disk IO (read) during an attachment open and locate the bottleneck. Any event IDs flagging?
