I've got a user on Outlook 2007 connecting to Exchange 2003. When she opens an email with a return receipt, it takes about 30-60 seconds. I've found one reference to this problem via search, but no solutions.

The machine is a 2.6Ghz P4 w/ 512MB DDR266. One thing of note is that the user's mailbox size is very large (>3GB). Regular messages open fine.

Suggestions?

I have had this problem before, and im not sure you'll like the answer

I uninstalled office2k7, installed office2k3, connected (took 1/2 second), let the folders sync, upgraded to office 2k7 and finally had success.

Hope this saves others from similar frustration and wasted time.

The answer was to delete and recreate the user's Outlook profile. Everything's snappy now.
