Entourage 2008 WSE slows internet connections

[Thomas H. Hart III]

I installed Entourage 2008 WSE last week and it seems to run fine but
slowly. My overall internet connection slows dramatically when Entourage WSE
is open.

I am running a 3.06 GHz MBP with 8 GB RAM, OSX 10.5.8 and Entourage Version
13.0.0 (090609) connected to a web hosted Exchange Server 2007 with all
updates. I have DSL 6.0 megabits/sec internet connection that regularly hits
5.7 or 5.8 megabits/sec when WSE is not running but much slower when WSE is
running.

My browsers (either Camino or Safari) load much slower when WSE is running.

Under Activity Monitor, Under Network, the Data Sent is consistently 60+
KB/sec. It seems that WSE recreated an identity so I guess it had to
download all old e-mails and attachments, correct? I had a ~9 GB identity so
shouldn't it be through by now?

Has this slowness issue been reported before? Any suggestions? (I hope I
don't have to create a new identity because that takes hours to download all
mail).

Thanks,

Tom

It's possible Entourage is syncing to your Inbox on the server. See this
