SYMPTOMS
When you select a large number of addresses from the address book, an hourglass appears. After three minutes the following message appears:

Too many items are selected. Try selecting fewer items.



CAUSE
The Microsoft Exchange client has a three minute timeout value for making large listbox selections. This limit applies to all listboxes. If after three minutes a selection cannot be completed, the above error message will be displayed.

A three-minute delay can occur when selecting a complete address list on a system with a slow network or Remote Access (RAS) connection with as few as 5,500 entries chosen.



WORKAROUND
Make the large selection in smaller increments.
