Using Outlook 2003 with a cached Exchange acct. The mailbox is on a SBS
that resides on our local network.
When the user attempts to "Empty 'Deleted Items' Folder" Outlook seems to
stop working, but maybe it's just taking a very long time to complete. Users
have waited over an hour, before forcing Outlook to close. Then when they
restart Outlook, it goes though a several minute process where it checks
checks the consistency of the .ost file (?), after which the user finds that
nothing has been deleted.
I suppose the problem has to do with the large "Deleted Items" folder, and
the synchronization. But I don't know what to do about it.
What is the best way to empty a very large cached Deleted Files folder?
(Secondly, how can I avoid it?).
Thanks
