Network issue when switching from offline to online on BCM client

[Honza]

I have network performance / synchronization issue. When i return BCM
database from offline mode back to online, after no changes has been made,
its quite quick and just a few data are transfered over network. But when i
change some data, even if its one character in client record, then when a
return back online from offline, its about 350MB transfered over network. My
BCM database on master server is about 1GB large.

I've tried to expriment with email autolinking, but its not the reason i
guess. It takes aprox. same time and transfer same data size in both cases. I
think that this maybe has much more to do with SQL Server 2005 Express than
with Outlook/BCM. I'll appreciate any help or advice.

May guess is that if you make a single change to an entity (e.g. an
Account), it will sync all the data for that entity. If the account
has many history items, then the data for that Account will be quite
large. If that's the case, you could consider deleting history items
for that account. For example, if you have several emails with the
same thread (content), delete all but the last message - which should
have the contents of all the previous messages.
