My mail box size is about 40MB. The laptop's mailbox size is 55MB and the desktops is 115MB. The interesting thing is that there are a couple people (3) that have a bigger mail box. The general manager has a 600MB mail box size. I wouldn't think it's a network issue as surfing the internet and transfering files aren't slow. I did a scan of the network using nmap to see all services running, TCP and UDP and found only a small few extraneous things happening but nothing that should cripple or anything that should be noticeable to anyone.
