For 1 week now I have been plagued by the little hour glass sitting over my
Outlook icon - "Microsoft Office Outlook is requesting data from the server".
I am running Outlook 2007. My mail box was recently moved from exhange
server 2003 to 2007.
I have tried the following:
uninstall/reinstall of office 2007
recreating my ost
disabling the indexing features
cache mode on/off
disabling all add-ins
and toggling every checkbox i can see or think of.
Any thoughts or ideas are most welcome.

Thank you,
Darren

Here's one item that might apply:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905803
Outlook users experience poor performance when they work with a folder that
contains many items on a server that is running Exchange Server

This one applies to me because I have a number of folders that contain well
over 5000 items.

Thank you for your response. I will ask our exchange administrators if I
fall into that category. I am not hopful however as my exchange mailbox in
Outlook says the folder is only 38849 KB. Any other ideas?

always accurate.

Mail is arriving but very slowly. Sometimes when I log on to Web Acess it
seems to give Outlook on my computer a kick in the pants and all of a sudden
it downloads everything. Sending is what progresses at glacial speed.
