Several Outlook clients are experiencing a delay in sending and receiving
emails from our exchange server, including me. Clicking on an email or
changing folders is necessary to check for new mail, after doing so several
messages might appear. Searches have yeilded others who have experienced a
similar problem, but the solutions included a problem with an ISA server,
which we don't have, and with Norton's bloodhound virus detection feature,
which after disabling still did not solve our problem. Background includes
exchange 2000 sp3, with a mix of outlook 2000 and xp clients using microsoft
exchange server service as their client connection.

thank you

I was having this problem as well. I found it to be a DNS issue. I started
having the problem after moving my DNS to a new server. Once I moved it
back the machines started to have less problems. My machines are nearly 3
years old with XP windows and office. I did have to rebuild a couple of the
machines to resolve the DNS problem. They were also having a problem with
resolution for the run line as well. That is how I determined it to be a
DNS issue.

I am also having the same problems... done the same research and found the
same answers, or lack of... there seems to be numerous users out there with
the same problem and no one has pin-pointed the solution. I agree, it does
appear to be a DNS issue but, a better solution than "rebuild the pc" is long
overdue, don't you think??? help......
