Public Folders and attachments
|

| Hi.
Wondering if anyone knows the answer to this. We use Public Folders to
share all sorts of information. The users are now attaching fairly large
files to their posts (4 MB or so at present, but probably larger later on).
Now, we have two exchange servers and 5 different offices, so certain
offices access the Exchange server over the WAN. It seems that when you
click on a post in a Public Folder to view it, Outlook downloads the
attachment right away. This leads to somewhat of a delay for people over
the WAN.
The question. Can I tell Outlook, or Exchange (ideally this would be a
server side fix), to display the little attachment icon, but to not download
it until the user actually tries to access the attachment?
Thank you
Dan

| I agree that this is a problem with MAPI Outlook. Teach them how to use
offline folders if running online is too slow. You can also use OWA in
remote offices, which doesn't do this.
