Re: SBS2003/Exchange 2003 New Mail Acct

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

We have a small office less than 7 users so I'm generous on the mailbox size. His size is currently about 40 mb. He likes to have everything in one place instead of switching from archived folders to inbox/sent folders. So I keep his emails for up to 2-3 months, then auto-archive them. We've tried using cache mode and non-cache mode.
Outlook hangs ALOT it almost every module (tasks,email,contacts) We continue to get the Outlook retrieving data from Exchange server msg on a regular basis. Most of the other users don't seem to have the problem he's having, of course he's been here longer than everyone else so his account has been through some battles and still hanging in there!

Good Afternoon,

I hope everyone is doing well today. We've been using SBS since the 4.5
version I believe. We upgraded to 2000 when it came out and upgraded to
2003 sometime last year I believe. My boss has had his email account
through all of the upgrades. His Outlook is very slow and I think I want to
create a new mail account and move his mail items into this new account.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do this?
His PC is moving slow also, so I'm going to wipe it clean and do a fresh
install of XP. While I'm doing this, I might as well give him a new mail
account in Exchange. I want to know the best way to take the data from his
old MailBox and put it into a new mail box. I'm hoping this will fix the
problems. I'm thinking because the mailbox dates back to the 4.5 version, I
should just create a whole new box. Please advise.

Sincerely,
Anthony Smith
In God We Trust!
