RE: MAPI Connections

Huh?  How many connection does each client make to an Exchange server store
via MAPI?  Answer: Minimum of three but more are possible.  That's a minimum
if using downlevel clients. I'm looking at my OL 2003 client and it has 5
connections open for one mailbox on a 5.5 server. 
 
5300 MAPI connections for 1900 mailboxes isn't too far off the mark
(considering there is overhead accounts that also have a connection and
mailbox e.g. system mailboxes).
 
Do you still think the MAPI connections are dead connections?  If so, why?
(1900 * 3 = 5700 so not all clients are active right now, but there are
system accounts creating some connections more than likely).

All
    I have a query that I would like you opinions on. I have an E2K mailbox
server with approx 1900 mailboxes on. The number of MAPI connections in is
equal to the MAPI connections out. But there is 5300 MAPI connections to the
server. I suspect that these are connections that have not been closed off
correctly by the clients. How can they be removed automatically. ?
