Incoming email slow to come in

Don't know if anyone can help, but here goes.  We are running an
Exchange 5.5 server and I am running Outlook 2003.  Email that is sent
to me internally is very slow to arrive (up to 30-45 seconds),
including email I send to myself.  Nobody else in my immediate vicinity
is having the same issue, their email arrival is instant.  We have
reviewed Outlook settings and they are identical.  One strange thing is
this:  If I send myself an email, don't do anything, it will come in
within 30-45 seconds.  However, if I send myself an email, then
immediately send another email both of them will come in instantly.
Anyone ever seen this behaviour before?

Thanks,

Brian

Brian,

It sounds like you are running in cached exchange mode.

When in cached mode outlook will periodically check for new email (send and
receive function) and immediately send email when you hit the send button
(again running the send and receive function) which is why it will then
appear.

For more information press the F1 key in Outlook and search for 'cached mode'

Regards,
Elliott
