Be sure to check out Amir’s blog article Content Conversion Issue with Exchange & Entourage. Here’s a brief excerpt.
Lately a lot of our professional and premier customers are running into the 'content conversion' issue due to mailbox moves they perform for Entourage users. I will be talking about that in this blog.
Issue:
After you move an Entourage 2004 user's mailbox on server side using 'Move Mailbox' wizard in Exchange 2003 Server, you see performance issues on your Exchange Servers, most prominent of them is high number of disk Input/Output operations. This happens due to content conversion (MAPI to MIME) which takes place on server in real time, when those moved mailbox users access their mailbox content using Entourage.
Enjoy!!
