I know this sounds crazy, but users in my office have been reporting
that their computers are *much* slower after archiving messages from
Outlook 2003.
Here's some background. Most users are running Windows XP SP3. Boxes
are 1.25Ghz Pentium IVs with 2GB of RAM and 10-20GB free. Their
Exchange mailboxes are ridiculous -- 2-5GB.
Just last night, a user archived several hundred message using
Outlooks archive feature. The archive.pst files is located on her HD.
She called me this morning saying that her computer is much slower
now, and that it has periods of unresponsiveness. Multiple users have
had this experience.
Is there *anything* about archiving messages that would cause a
computer to run more slowly? Unfortunately, users now view this simple
house-cleaning act as something that will break their computers...
Thanks for any suggestions
