  • 1.  Email Downloads Very Slowly

    Posted Oct 19, 2009 10:12 AM
    We have SEP 11 and we use Networking Solutions as an Email Provider.  On all 6 computers (2 Vista, 4 XP Pro) emails download very slowly (as in by the byte in some cases and the computers lock up very easily.  These problems go away if we disable outlook scanning in SEP.  Can someone tell me if we are doing something wrong?

    This issue has been taken care of in the latest release RU-5 of endpoint. You can refer the release notes.
