Chris Take a look at this article, it should help you troubleshoot the problem: http://blogs.msdn.com/mfp2/archive/2004/03/08/86204.aspx Mark Fugatt MCSE, MCT, Microsoft Exchange MVP Pentech Office Solutions Inc Rochester, NY Tel: 585 586 3890 Cell: 585 576 4750 http://www.4mcts.com http://www.exchangetrainer.com -----Original Message----- From: Chris Chauv [mailto:chrisc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2004 12:31 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Requesting data from Exchange.... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi all, I've been getting this message everytime Outlook attempts to connect to our Exchange server to retrieve an email. The message is a box that says: "Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange Server "EXchangerServername". You can cancel the request....." I used to get that once in a blue moon, but now it's showing up everytime I try to preview an email in Outlook... Is this normal for Exchange or do I have processes running on Exchange that I'm not aware of that's causing this delay?

I can get all other services to start but as soon as I attempt to start SMTP, nothing. I am running SBS with all the latest patches and everything else seems to be working fine. I would really appreciate anyones help with this problem. Does anyone know of any utilities that would help diagnose the problem?
