Under Public Folders. I have a Folder and SubFolders under it. Some SubFolders take more than 1 minute to open. Others open inmediately.

Is there anything to make the opening of the folders faster.

Would defragmeting the HardDrive help ?

Thanks.

Yes. The amount of items is proportional to the speed.

WOW

Also have a look at this guidance from Microsoft regarding Public Folders and Exchange 2003. Exchange Public Folder Best Practices: Scalability

Found something interesting.

I have a Folder with 16,665 items and 240454 kb in size
which opens inmediately vs the "Slow Folder" which has 8315 items and 167212 kb in size.

I'm confused ... Is there any explanation to the above.

Is there any indexing service in Exchange or something that makes the bigger folder open faster that the samller one..

Thanks.
