Are they using PST files or leaving their mail on the server?

I had some users with the same issue when using a PST file.  Once I
remove the PST file, things seem ok now.

Just a suggestion.

Mike

No, not yet.  We have separate teams for networks & servers, they are
working on analyzing from their perspectives.

Julie, have you collected any additional performance data?  Any clues as
to
what's going on?

Julie,
We experienced this problem a year ago. However, no conclusive cause has
been found. When we had the problem the users often get "Requesting data
from Exchange server" dialogue box, and the Outlook really freezes. One
of
the things I tried was a cumulative patch that was available for Outlook
XP
at that time. After applying the patch some clients reported seeing an
improved performance. However, one fine day we a complete power outage
in
out main datacenter and lost power to all devices including servers,
switches, SAN etc. When the power came back and servers turned on again,
everyone one was very happy. Outlook has been behaving since then. We
did
not deploy the patch to all users. 
Are you running a cluster ?

http://www.MSExchange.org/

We are receiving numerous complaints from users that their email is
terribly slow.   They are reporting slowness in switching from one
message to another, opening messages, sending messages, etc.  

The server does not appear to be running at capacity, users are limited
to 50MB mailbox size.  Server is Exchange 2000 SP3, clients are OL2000
(CW).  I have emptied the badmail directory (only 4500 entries there),
did not make any difference.   Users that report slowness are located
both locally (same bldg as the server) and remotely (across T1).  Server
is holding app 780 mailboxes (4 databases)  plus public store;     Total
Info Store size is approx. 40GB. 

Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any suggestions of what to
try or where to start looking for bottlenecks? 

Thanks!
