I am not talking that many messages.  First thing in the morning it is 
in the couple of hundreds.  Later in the day it is < 50 but it is still 
very slow.Instrumentation Technologist   Voice: 1.403.544.4762

I don't keep any mail on the exchange server after waiting almost a day 
for things to get done.  I open my mail and have one filter that moves 
my mail to my local drive.
