outlook 2000 & imap delivery problem

[Tijl Dullers]

I had exactely the same problem , especially with people who had or a 
slow PC or a whole lot of different E-mail folders on the IMAP server ( 
Or a combination of both ) , ....
I replaced outlook with Mozilla 1.1 or Netscape mail client and the 
problem was solved,

I tried Outlook 2000 with and without every possible patch and even 
tried Outlook XP , But al gave the same result .

Netscape / Mozilla mailcient have imho a very decent IMAP implementation 
and you can also choose to sync all your folders for offline usage , 
which you cannot do with outlook 2000 when using an IMAP server ( only 
Outlook XP supports this - with some application crashes )

Regards,

Tijl
