I upgrade to 2003 w/SP2 from 5.5 this weekend with hopes of fixing this problem with no luck. I have 30-40 machines if not more, with varios OS (2000,XP), SP and Office versions (2000,2002,2003) that are experiencing significany delays in sending and receiving their email. It's like the email is right there and the user has to jiggle their Outlook (mouse on any of the Outlook In/Out, etc boxes) to get the email to flow both in and out. An email will sit in the outbox until something in Outlook is moused on and the same for Incoming.
It doesn't appear to be a network issue as the machines are on different segments. I replaced cables, network cards, different ports on the switch etc with the old server and have gone through something similar with the new. Everything is extremely fast as long as something in Outlook is moused on.
Send Receive is set to send immediately when connected, account properties are automatically detect connection state, 30 seconds until server connection timeout. We are not running anything in cached mode.
At this point I am at a loss, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
