One one of our computers running Outlook 2003, outlook is frequently
syncronizing folders. When doing so, resources are reduced
dramatically and send/receive is disabled. It is a work computer and
very frustrating. It has been through numerous detect/repair cycles,
is running with Zone Alarm security suite with firewall, antivirus,
spam filters, and spyware detection. I tried doing an archive but saw
that it was doing it every 30 days anyway. Might it help to create
another set of folders to use as primary with the old set left in place
as he does not want to lose the data? I am at a loss for ideas.
After a prolonged "outlook is syncronizing folders" there is usually a
failure to close properly and off we go again.
