  • Entourage in Exchange mode

    Hi, everyone.

    I was wondering if anyone has noticed that system performance is
    affected by running Entourage 2004 in Exchange mode, specifically for
    users with large mailboxes? I have not run benchmark tests, but I have developed the impression that this is the case. It just seems like
    users who have small, tidy mailboxes never complain about performance,
    while those with larger mailboxes frequently report problems.

    Before I spend a lot of time testing, I just wanted to check here
    first. Any thoughts? If large Exchange mailboxes (over 500MB) are
    indeed the problem, is there any speculation as to why? Entourage
    doesn't seem to take up an unfair share of memory.

    Oh -- we're running DP 1.8Ghz G5's with 2GB of RAM and plenty of disk
    space, OS X 10.3.9.

    Thanks,
    Joseph
