If I remember well, with Outlook, using a command-line option, you can
ask the app to verify and repair the entries... Maybe the IT guy willb e
able to check your account for corruption.

It could do the trick. You can also take the time to delete all the old
stuff you uwon;t ever access again. With a bit of luck the corruption
will be in there (it was for me the last time I had that problem).

Well... when I had that problem, I used Interarchy to monitor traffic
with the Exchange server and find out where the app was stuck. It
immediately pointed to a cpecific entry in my calendar. I trashed it and
I was done!

The data from your account could be corrupted indeed...
