We had a similar problem. I don't recall what version of Outlook and I don't have an outlook 2000 client to test with. I don't even recall if this option exists in OL2000 but if it does, turn it off.
Look in Tools>options>other and see if the checkbox is checked that says "Enable Instant Messaging in Microsoft Outlook" If it is, uncheck it and see if that solves your problem. -----Original Message----- From: Hiatt, Jack (MARC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 4:49 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Outlook, very slow opening new messages We are running Exchange 5.5 on NT4.0 with a mix of Outlook 97 & Outlook 2000 clients, recently several of the client machines are experiencing very slow opening of new messages in the inbox. Once a message has been read it opens rapidly. Opening the mailbox from another user also results in slow opening of messages. Anyone have any ideas or hints on this one?
