Help. We have a user with a lot of email that inadvertantly renamed a
Catagory Item and now Outlook 2007 is hung while it goes through every item
making this change. Is there any way to cancel this process either in
Outlook or on the Exchange 2007 server? The renaming process just starts
back up following a reboot / OUtlook 2007 restart.

Thanks,

PFM
 
Diane:

It has been running for hours. Is there any way to tell if this will work
without doing it? Is there any way to stop the renaming process itself?

Thanks for your quick reply,

PFM

I'd try a new profile with a new ost - the changes may not be synced to

I was told that we tried this and the renaming process carried over to the
new profile. Also, it's a direct connection to Exchange so no ost.

I was hoping for a way to kill the process itself.

Thanks,

I'm not aware of anyway to kill the process - I'm not even sure a reboot of
Exchange would stop it.

Already tried a reboot. No luck. Outlook seemss to restart the process when
new mail itemss come in - and that happens constantly...

See if the exchange guys have any ideas - there are exchange newsgroups on
this server or access it via the web -
