Email SLOW to show up on NT4 worstation

[Jane Smith]

Server: SBS2000 with Exchange 2000, WINS & DNS pointing to the server,
network - TCP/IP 10/100
Clients: XP Pro & NT4 with Outlook 2002
Up to date with service packs and patches
Senario: An email is sent to users on the network. XP Pro user opens Outlook
and the email pops up within a few seconnds in their Inbox. NT4.0 user opens
Outlook and it takes close to 2 minutes before the email shows up in their
Inbox. (Received time on the email is the same as the sent time).
NT4 - PII 450MHz, 128MB
XP - P4 1.7GHz, 256MB
Is Outlook checking for received email as soon as it opens or is it on a
cycle, checking every so many minutes? (I know you can set Outlook to send
email as soon as it opens).
Is it the physical components, i.e., hardware, memory, etc?
Why does it take so long for an email to show up on the NT4 workstation?

Try going to Tools -> Options -> Other and turning off Instant Messaging
integration. It can really slow things down in Outlook 2002 if support for
it is not present.

 

[Jane Smith]

Instant Messaging was NOT enabled. Any other thoughts?

'Fraid not. Does this happen with everyone running NT4, or just a single
person?
