[msexchange] Re: Outlook "Cancel Request" Dialog Box

I get this as well, but not very often doing normal
email tasks.  When I always get it is when I look at
the properties of a folder, and some other things.

We have several public folders that are replicated
around our ORG, which spans several countries at this
point.  Whenever I look at the properties of a folder
it will often say that its getting information from
one of our other servers in a different country, even
though the folder is homed on my home server and not
even replicated to one of the others.

I agree it is very frustrating.  However mine usually
never stays up for more than 10 seconds or so, so I
live with it.

I would like some light shed on this as well. :)
