Some common reasons why Outlook will not shut down completely when you click
either the X or Exit:
1. PDA synchronization software with your PDA in the cradle.
2. WinFax Pro (especially 10.02 in Outlook 2003) - contact their support
for an alleged fix.
3. Franklin-Cover Plan Plus!
4. COM Add-ins.
5. Mail reminder add-ins that keep a stub of Outlook open in the background
to check for new mail and fire reminders.
6. Anti-virus/firewall programs that are set to scan incoming and outgoing
mail.

|| As far as I know, all our mail is on the Exchange server,

| computer as her to

| email were there as
|| expected (so assume they are all grabbed from the
| server?).
||
|| It's very strange because nobody else seems to have this
| problem. I read on
|| Google about something to do with opening Word and
| Outlook at the same time,
|| but I'm not finding anything concrete about this.
||
|| Is there a way to 'defragment' the Exchange server at
| all? I can 'Compact
|| all Folders' in Outlook Express at home, so perhaps it's
| something on the
|| server?
||
|| Thanks for the help, it's appreciated.

|| ||| Assuming you are on exchange server:
|||
||| It's probably stuck on removing the deleted items from
| the mailbox. You
|| need to set up a personal folder (.pst) and change the
| delivery options so
|| email messages are sent to the user's personal folder
| instead of the actual
|| mailbox. For some reason when Outlook tries to delete
| stuff that is in the
|| "mailbox" instead of the user's personal folder, it locks
| up. This happens
|| sometimes where i work, too, when a new user is added to
| Outlook and it
|| doesn't create their personal .pst folder for some
| reason. Another option
|| is to delete each email in the deleted items one by one
| (if you delete more
|| than one at a time or try and move multiple items, it
| will lock up again)
|| and then exiting.
|||
||| I hope this works..
