Thanks all for the suggestions. Thought you'd like to know that we tried opening the mailbox with Outlook XP. A box popped up saying that it was applying rules, and after about 30 seconds, the mailbox opened normally. We then tried opening the mailbox in Outlook 2000 again and voila! - it worked like a champ. So, I'm guessing that something was goofy with her Rules. I will definitely file away your other good suggestions for future wierd problems.

This problem is happening on different machines, so it has nothing to do with her profile or with a PST. I can create a new profile on a computer that she has never used, setting it up for her mailbox. Then, when I open Outlook as her, glack! -Kirsten -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 5:19 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze Can anyone think of a reason that a mailbox could cause Outlook to freeze up? We're using Exchange 5.5 SP4, and the client is Outlook 2000. If I add the user's mailbox to my profile, I can open it up fine. When I create a new profile with the user's mailbox as the primary, and then open Outlook, Outlook freezes up. It opens the mailbox and I can see the mail, but Outlook no longer responds. This was reported to me by the user's support folks, and they tried it on two different machines. I tried it on my workstation as well with the same results. Nothing about the mailbox looks strange. It only has about 11 Megs of data. Permissions settings look correct. I would just say "let's try recreating the mailbox" but the user is at a remote location, so that might be difficult to arrange with her. If anyone has any insights, I would love to hear them. This is about the sixty-thousandth wierd problem I have had today and my brain has turned to jelly.
