RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze

RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze
If you can open it up yourself, I'd do that, export it all to PST, blow the mailbox away, recreate and put the info back into the new mailbox. You should be able to do that without too much problems for her -- other than being without her mailbox for a while.

RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze
If that's not it, try opening the user's mailbox using an Exchange client. If it loads successfully, you may have some sort of corruption in her tasks or calendar folder. If that's the case, you may want to: 1. Attempt starting Outlook with the /cleanreminders switch. If that doesn't help proceed to step 2. 2. ExMerge her calendar out with the archive option 3. Open the mailbox with Exchange client again, and delete the calendar folder. 4. Start outlook with the /resetfolders switch. If that works, you'll have to weed through the exported appointments to see which one's causing the problem. -Original Message- From: Bowles, John L.

Hello, Here are some Q articles I've come across for similar problems, and in general some other things to try: -Change the default View to something else. A view, default view, may be causing the problem. -Can you view it through OWA? -There's a CDO patch post SP4 that might help. -Search the archives for outlook hang , you're not the first to encounter this in the last couple months.

RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze
Ensure the client is off line. Then use ExAdmin to move the mailbox to another server in the site. Have the user start Outlook. It will find the new home server automagically. I have seen moving a mailbox clean up otherwise unsolveable weirdness.

RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze
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. -Kirsten :) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 8:31 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: mailbox causes Outlook to freeze Guess I should clarify a bit.

I am at a University too, and had this same problem. I don't know what caused it but I solved it by blowing away all profiles, rebooting their computer, eating lunch, then reloading a new profile.
