Vishal- For now the problem seems to be solved. I'm watching it carefully over the next few days to see if that's really the case.
I set symantec antivirus corporate edition to exclude any .tbb and .tbi files and performance dramatically improved immediately. I still think this is one of those dreaded interactions between TB and antivirus software where each mail database was being scanned on TB launch and any sort of action: get new mail, create new message, move to new folder, etc). It's strange, though, that when we uninstalled SAVCE from the server we were still seeing TB using 100% of the CPU resources. Reminds me of the Zone Alarm mess. -Mark Wieder Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0 Build 2195 Service Pack 2 -- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
