I have trouble with outlook not responding after only a few minutes. My message tells me that I need to cancel server requests. I have been to the Microsoft site and they know it is an issue, but I want to know if anyone knows a solution.

until microsoft comes out with a fix, use thunderbird..or any other email & news system.

What worked for me, was the removal of my old *.pst file. Windows 2003 in certain circumstances assumes that your archive file will be in Unicode mode. An archive file created by Outlook 2000 for example, will cause problems if your new system is expecting a different mode.

As I said, it worked for me. I just created a new archive.pst and away it went.
