Outlook private folders

[Bill Mullen]

I have a user that leaves messages on the server. He has
a ton of personal folders stored locally. Often times,
when he drags a message or contact from the message pane
Outlook all but seizes up. It takes a really long time to
move the message. It only happens when he is dragging the
file, and does not have to be a large file to do it. I
have seen it do it on a 30K file. We have a 100mbps
network and it should not hang up like that. The computer
is clean (no other programs running), has a large page
file, has plenty of ram, and all the service packs have
been installed. There is really no reason for this to
happen, but it is consistent enough to frustrate this
user.

Has anybody exorienced anything like this?

I've been experiencing the same symptoms for a select group of users for the past couple of months. To make a long story short - NTFS file compression had been enabled recently and the users with larger Personal Folder files were experiencing problems when trying to move email from the Exchange server into their Personal Folder. Removing compression on the personal folder seems to have resolved the problem. Don't know if this applies to your situation.
