Outlook 2003 Mail Delay
I am in a company of 50 or so users on a network. When an internal email is sent round to the group there are about 3 users who experience a 10-20 second delay as opposed to being instantaneously recieved by the rest. Is there a simple solution to fix this?
Thanks

Do you use an exchange server? If so what version of Exchange? Please provide more details. Thanks.
The above solution suggests creating a NEW rule, but it seems to be a rule to ADD a delay (although it mentions clearing the minutes). In any case, IMO, if the problem were occurring when sending e-mails from a specific user’s Outlook maybe checking if such a rule exists and if so deleting it could be an option.
But if the problem occurs regardless of the originating user or account then other factors would need to be taken into consideration, such as the mail server, the network, etc
Yes, the above solution for creating a new rule. I hope by creating a new rule, the q asker can solve his/her problem by this way. Though, it is not the exact solution for the above.
