Attachments are temporarily written to the servers hard disk. Users need write access to the directory where they get copied. It is NOT TEMP as you would think. Get filemon from Sysinternals and watch while an attachment is opened. We found on our servers that users had to have write access to a directory under program files/common files/Office 10 but I cant remember which one right now. If you search the archives on attachment (or the Faqs) on thethin.net because I posted it the solution there you will find it.

Sometimes Word hangs in the background, and from that point onwards, doing anything in Outlook is slowed to a crawl.

Sometimes it takes as long as 5 minutes to open the attachment. Has anyone ever seen this before?
