Before installing TB, I had Outlook 98 running on the same connection. The performance of Outlook, while not earth-shattering, was acceptable. TB runs like a snail in comparison. But, Outlook uses a single file for its message store and I suspect that it uses some caching to speed things up; TB uses one file per folder, and no apparent caching. > So the best solution would be having a local message base and copy it > to the NT machine with e.g. the windows scheduler once a day.

I didn't really want to do that, but it's preferable to the performance hit I'm experiencing.
