XCLN: MS Fax and Exchange Run Slowly in Same Profile (173806)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Client 5.0
This article was previously published under Q173806 SYMPTOMS
After you add the Microsoft Exchange Server service to a profile already
containing Microsoft Fax, operations such as composing a new fax, startup,
or sending mail may slow down considerably. This only affects clients
attaching remotely to the Microsoft Exchange Server computer through a dial
up connection. If the client is set to work offline, this problem does not
occur.
CAUSE
When you open the Exchange profile or compose a new fax, Microsoft Fax is
trying to initialize the communications port. At the same time, the
Exchange Server service is trying to check for new mail, and use the
communications port as well.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, set up separate profiles for Microsoft Fax and
Exchange Server.
