I am assuming that all the client machines have the same ver of Outlook on
them and the same win and outlook patches. Have you tested the cable itself,
although if it was a cable issue you really know about it. Cant they access
their mailbox via owa internally at a decent speed?

My mail box size is about 40MB.
The laptop's mailbox size is 55MB and the desktops is 115MB.
The interesting thing is that there are a couple people (3) that have a
bigger mail box.
The general manager has a 600MB mail box size.
I wouldn't think it's a network issue as surfing the internet and
transfering files aren't slow.
I did a scan of the network using nmap to see all services running, TCP
and UDP and found only a small few
extraneous things happening but nothing that should cripple or anything
that should be noticeable to anyone.

Thanks for your help!
