Hello, I work in IT for my company, and have a brand new MacBook Air, running OS X Mavericks, and Office for Mac 2011, that I am testing for deployment to a user.  It's our only Mac in our enterprise environment, a one off.

The problem I'm having is when opening Outlook 2011.  I can successfully setup and add an exchange account in Outlook 2011 connected to our Exchange 2010 server.  After that, each and every single time I open Outlook 2011, it will open, show my inbox/standard screen, and literally sit there for 3 mins.  I can't do anything, click on menu items, scroll, new email, nothing.  It will just hang.  After 3 mins or so, the program seems to work fine.  I've searched the internet, restored the MacBook Air, reinstalled Office 2011, I've even tried different user accounts and setup their exchange accounts in Outlook, with little to no mail, thinking that may be the problem.  But it will hang no matter what.  I'm also waiting on a contact back from the local Apple Store's Business Department, though I doubt they will know...

Please help! 

Thanks,

Mike K
