If you added a shared mailbox to your Outlook profile, you may experience random performance problems. For example:
- When you view items in the secondary mailbox, new items may not appear or items seem to be missing.
- Items that you had deleted still appear in the secondary mailbox.
- Slow Outlook performance or random hangs
The following methods may resolve these issues. If not, contact the Help Desk.
Method 1: Reduce the number of folders in the shared mailbox
The best solution to this issue is to reduce the number of mail folders in the shared mailbox.
