From: ed on 4 Feb 2010 12:41 Hi all, exchange2003 sp2/outlook2003 I have one user that compaints to take longer time to open outlook. he has 120,000 items and 4GB size after our archived system. It seems that he does not want to delete anything from the email. Will cache mode help him? any other suggestions? Thank you!

The only thing that will help is some "two by four" A 4GB isn't massive but it's a bit too large for Exchange 2003 to cope with, certainly along with other users on the server. Then there's the matter of 120k items. Above 5k items in any one folder and you're going to get problems server and client side. Cached mode will be of help in terms of Outlook opening but the performance issues that your guy sees will just move. Your server won't be a great deal happier. Education is probably best.
From: Jaime on 4 Feb 2010 15:48 If your company has no specific requirements for the retention of all those e-mails, why hot have the user archive all the older ones to local files on his PC. He can still have access to them (if ever needed) and he could burn a copy to a DVD for backup. -- James Orlando (Goofy says "Hey"), Florida "ed" <ed(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:A1923777-761D-4550-9EE8-5869D9F1380C(a)microsoft.com... > Hi all, > > exchange2003 sp2/outlook2003 > > I have one user that compaints to take longer time to open outlook. he > has > 120,000 items and 4GB size after our archived system.

From: John on 4 Feb 2010 16:07 I agree but how do you deal with bosses or company owners who refuse to delete/archive email? Education doesn't seem to work if they ignore what I tell them.
