I have a couple of mac clients connecting to an Exchange 2003 server.
A little status window stays on constantly, saying it is updating,
sychronyzing or whatever.
Why does it do this & how can I get it to stop?

What kind of account do they have configured?  I had problems like that 
(and others) when I configured the account as "Exchange".  Changing it 
to "IMAP" has made things work much more smoothly.  From what I can 
tell, the Exchange protocol is IMAP with some additional Microsoft 
extensions, but I haven't noticed any missing capabilities.

POP3, if I recall correctly.
I'll check into it...
