I had exactely the same problem , especially with people who had or a slow PC or a whole lot of different E-mail folders on the IMAP server ( Or a combination of both ) , .... I replaced outlook with Mozilla 1.1 or Netscape mail client and the problem was solved,
I tried Outlook 2000 with and without every possible patch and even tried Outlook XP , But al gave the same result . Netscape / Mozilla mailcient have imho a very decent IMAP implementation and you can also choose to sync all your folders for offline usage , which you cannot do with outlook 2000 when using an IMAP server ( only Outlook XP supports this - with some application crashes ) Regards, Tijl Valmar Joandi wrote: >Hello, > > > I have cyrus-imap running on linux and appr 70 win98 client machines with > outlook 2000.
