Outlook 2000 'sluggish' with XP SP2:

Is Outlook Web Access (OWA) working?
There are a ton of articles on XP SP2 ad OWA having problems.
Also, you may want to throw this to the Exchange forum to address.
At this point, I don't think it's anything to do with your VPN connection,
it's something with XP SP2 and Outlook communicating with Exchange.
You should include versions of Outlook and Exchange for that discuss.
Good luck and sorry we couldn't help more.
