Things I tried.

  • Scanpst on all pst files. Did see an error about the junk mail list being full.
  • remove some recent office update to the junk mail filter
  • restore to last system restore before a glob of overnight office updates
  • open up mailbox in another profile, works fine, emptied deleted items.
  • open up mailbox in a new profile on another computer with 2007/xp, crashes.
  • open up mailbox in owa works fine.
  • turned off junk mail filtering in owa, lists were empty, added an address to each list.
  • use the mapi editor to remove the junk mail rule on the inbox, inconsequential.

And the winner is! Opened up mailbox in outlook 2003.

Yup, then it worked fine in 2007. Great times.

    open up mailbox in a new profile on another computer with 2007/xp, crashes.

    On another computer, and the same computer. As soon as it started downloading the messages it would crash, sometimes you’d get a message or two each time, which made me wonder if it as a junk mail filter / imf problem.

    I did not try a profile with cached exchange mode disabled.

    We had a similar problem with a number of users – crashed while downloading new mail, often making it impossible to open. We use Exchange 2007 / Outlook 2007 cached mode – had to swtich off cache mode (via Control Panel | Mail profile). Open Outlook on client, then re-enable cache mode. SORTED (not sure what caused the problem in the first place – suddenly started happening on about 30 of our PC’s on same Exchange environment)
