Working with Office Pro 2003/Vista Ultimate. Outgoing emails are
increasingly lingering in the outbox and multiple send/recieve efforts are
necessary to send. I believe it might be a local issue although the
machine
is a 3.6Ghz/8Gb memory/ with two 500Gb drives. Looking for an objective
and
focused way to troubleshoot this issue. I see in Vista that there is a
feature that allows a custom event view. Don't know how to configure it
or
if it can monitor this issue. Guidance sought
