OL97: Outlook Appears to Hang When Marking Multiple Headers

Last reviewed: January 19, 1998
Article ID: Q170608

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Outlook 97

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Outlook 97 with the Internet Mail service and you connect to your e-mail server using Remote Mail, if you mark multiple message headers for retrieval, Outlook may appear to hang.

CAUSE

This involves a combination of the speed of the e-mail server and Outlook's communication with it. If you select, then mark to retrieve many headers (approximately 100 or more), the process may take longer than expected.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook 97. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
