    Not sure why your exporting to pst when you are connected to an exchange serve
    SMM, I have a few clients that do this. They dont trust their IT group and they want their mail local (on their laptops).

    Cider, known issues with pst files and exchange. There have been times where we have needed to recreate the outlook/mail config because it got corrupted. When this happened all sorts of hanging issues. If the reinstall doesnt resolve your problem, try deleting and reconfiguring the outlook mail confiig from the control panel on the local machine.

    Also, what version of Exchange? know incompatibility between Outlook 2007 and older (e.g. 5.x, 6.5) versions of Exchange.

    AFAIK...when working with outlook 2003 and exchange 2003 in cached mode there is already a copy stored locally....in the users local settings as outlook.ost

    The pst is used for backup\archive.......... and when mucking with a mailbox online is probably best to export to pst.

    as for removing outlook and reinstalling...this in no way should affect the users mailbox...maybe some rules or settings...but not the data

    Ok trying to reinstall IE is nasty! Where is the option! Under windows components in vista there is no IE and trying to run the IE7 install is telling me it isn't supported on this computer, rofl?

    Anyway, uninstalled office and reinstalling now.

    Thanks for the help.

    OK - uninstalled , reinstalled outlook. Didn't help.

    Will try and figure out how to reinstall IE , if that doesnt work then it is definitely server side which I have limited access too.

    This this crap started when these guys decided to upgrade to 2007 exchange with no training at all , download tutorials from technet to do this. We have certificate issues and all sorts of errors after this. Dont know why we jsut didn't stay on 2003 exchange.

    Edit

    Found this on another forum.

    You can't reinstall it, regardless of whether or not you want to. IE7 for XP
    is an entirely different install package. The number one cause of problems
    with IE starting up is with plug-ins/add-ons loading with it. Try disabling
    these from tools/manage add-ons.

    I have a really hard time thinking this is server based when only one user has the issue.

    Log on with another account on the same machine, and see if they have the same issues.

    and try creating the user with the issues account on a nother machine and see if the issue can be recreated.

    This will show if it is user accout\mailbox issue\ or machine issue. If it occurs with another account on the same machine...there is something on the machine interfering

    if it occurs on another machine where outlook works fine...but user is still having the issue...then it is mailbox and server side.
