SYMPTOMS
If you are using Netscape Communicator to access a Microsoft Exchange Server using Outlook Web Access (OWA), and rapidly click the Seen button, the following message may be displayed:

Netscape is unable to connect to the server at the location you have specified. The server may be down or busy. Try connecting again later.

This message may give you the impression that there is a problem with the Exchange Server, which is not the case.



CAUSE
Netscape Communicator establishes a connection to the Exchange Server each time the Seen button is clicked in order to perform a store command. The number of concurrent IMAP connections it can keep open are limited. As soon as this limit is reached, all connections are closed by Netscape and the above error message is reported.
