very slow sync from exchange 2k to entourage sp2

[Anonymous]

We are having trouble with a very slow synchronization between Entourage SP2 and exchange 2000. I installed SP2 last week on a couple of machines and tried to get a couple of us in the office setup on it to test it out.

After setting up the account, it starts to sync to exchange, but seems to be going at much bellow normal speed. Each email seems to take a couple of minutes to download, and as I have around 3000 emails, it was still trying to sync after 2 full days and nights! I temporarly gave up in the end and went back to IMAP, and all the email came down very quickly.

Anybody else had this, or know what it may be?
Thanks

Here we are one year later… Did you ever find a solution?

I’m experiencing the same problem with Entourage 2004 and Exchange 2003 (both fully updated). We especially see the slowness with the calendar sync – it takes hours! We also had some possibly related issues of calendared items going into Outlook user’s personal calendar rather than the office calendar.

I’m at a loss, but really need to show the office that a Mac can work!

any ideas appreciated.

p.s. this is a great site, and i’m so glad i found such an awesome resource. thanks to all who contribute!
