I find that when I change the Primary Windows NT account on an Exchange 5.5 Mailbox, the change only take effect after about a hour delay. Exchange is running SP3.
Has anyone ever come across this and why does it happen.

It has something to do with the synchronization of the servers.
(I am experiencing the same thing).
From server manager you can select the pdc and synchronize the whole domain, this helps a some. If it's very urgent you in the permission box of the mailbox you can give the other account the permission to use that mailbox.

Using the Permissions tab did not seem to make any different. However, synching the Domain reduced the delay to aroung 15 mins, better I suppose.
What exactly is Exchange trying to do?
