Hello,

In Outlook, read receipts and delivery notifications are processed in
idle time, which seems to be about 1-2 minutes. Anyone know if a
registry key specifies the exact idle time? We're looking to reduce
it, like to zero if feasible!

Thanks,

- Alan.

How did you come to this conclusion? Receipts are processed immediately when using Exchange. Perhaps you need to specify your environment.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/197067 which says "There must be
30 to 60 seconds of idle time on your computer before the automatic
processing will activate. Any keyboard or mouse movement will
interrupt this idle time. "

In case I wasn't clear, I'm not talking about returning receipts from
the recipient but rather processing them in the sender's Inbox.

The environment is E2K/E2K3 and the result is the same with Outlook XP/
2003 or 2007. The servers in question are very lightly loaded. The
process receipts upon arrival option is checked in the client.

Do you really never see the receipts in your Inbox?

I don't think it really matters if you move the mouse, there is always a
delay of about a minute or so whenever you use any special item that needs
processing. This delay is why Recall is pointless.

AFAIK, there is no reg key to lower the value - mapi needs time to finish
processing incoming messages before it starts processing special items.
However... messages are processed immediately if you open them, so if you
used a script to open these messages, you might be able to cut it down to
close to immediately.

Thanks. Good tip. I'll try a script that opens those specific items.

Which reminds me... time for a post on suggestions for distributing
scripts to 1000s of clients. I have several VBA addons!

logon scripts is usually the easiest way to pass them out and make sure they
get installed.

There is a delay of a minute or so when processing special items - meeting
requests, receipts, etc - since you can't control how long it takes exmapi
to finish processing new mail, you can't control this.
