Outlook Woes

Just a general question to throw out there. How do you keep the speed of Outlook running quickly for users that have large mailboxes?

IE. Our CEO has a 12GB mailbox. We use a hosted exchange solution which when we setup Outlook creates a cached mailbox as well. However our users with large mailbox tend to see a slow down in their response time of Outlook.

Outlook version is 2003 & 2007.

(WINWORD also seems to cause alot of hanging with replies and forwards of email)

Are you using archiving at all?

Outside of archiving there's not a lot you can do. Moving to cached mode will help but it isn't going to be night vs. day. We're in a similar situation with multiple employees with 10GB+ mailboxes and we're looking at attacking it from the Symantec Enterprise Vault side.

We aren't using archiving because we have quiet possibly the most stubborn technically challenged end users here you've ever met. I'll look into it though as a possible solution
