I'm having issue with outlook on two machines. The outlook is issuing the company's Microsoft exchange server. I'm having isolated issues when we try to send out a message the message will sometimes sit in the outgoing mailbox for some time, while at the same time the machines cpu and memory usage sky rockets. Sometimes the mail will be sent out eventually and sometimes it won't. The machine is fully up-to-date on all Microsoft updates and I also have done virus scans and repaired the .ost file which came back needing to be repaired. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any patches or fixes out there. Tried contacting Microsoft, but soon as they hear that its Microsoft exchange they transfer you and want to charge you $200 dollars to try to help you. This is stumping me and any help would greatly be appreciated.
