Re: Spinning wheel when connected to Exchange

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Well...that worked in the morning for me, but by the afternoon I was getting
the spinning wheel again, and this morning I've been getting the spinning
wheel as well even though I let entourage run all night so it would be
synced when I came in .

I wonder if it the fact that I am subscried to some newsgroups, and our site
has lots of Public Folders causes the constant hanging?
