Freezing saving attachments from external senders. same file attachment from an internal on-premise exchange server email saves no problem very quickly
tried sending the same file (an different files) from an internal address (quickly saves), from outlook.com address (slow/freezing with below message), and from gmail.com address (slow/freezing with below message).
Only happens in Outlook desktop application.
OWA saves to the network drive no problem.

Hi,
What's the version of your Outlook?(File > Office Account > About Outlook). Please make sure you have upgraded your Outlook to the latest version.
Could you please tell me whether this issue occurs only on your computer or there are many people in your organization have this issue as you?
In this situation, it is suggested to start your Outlook in online mode (File > Account Settings > Double click your account >Uncheck "Use Cached Exchange Mode to download email to an Outlook data file" > Restart your Outlook)
Besides, it seems that you are trying to save the attachements to a network drive, please try saving attachments to local and see if there is any difference.
Any update, please feel free to post back.
Regards,
Aidan Wang

This really is throwing a bunch of darts.
I have tried most of these items, and no results.
thanks though.
only when saving attachments from external senders.
attachments from internal senders save with no issue.
is this a trust issue of some sort?

Thanks for your reply.
>> only when saving attachments from external senders.
Are these senders from the same domain?Please try adding them to the Safe Senders List via right click the messages > Junk > Never Block Sender/Sender's Domain. Then test again.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
How about adding a external user to the Safe Senders list and test? (Junk > Junk E-mails Options > Safe Senders)
Besides, it is also suggested to temporarily turn off your antivirus software to check if the issue will be gone, because some antivirus programs perform email scanning may cause this issue. Or you can also restart your computer and run Outlook only then test.

working on it there is no resolution yet.Friday, January 3, 2020 1:39 PM

there is still no resolution. This is very odd. The issue is very consistent that an external sender's attachment has this issue, but not an internal email with the attachment.
Also, if the external email with the attachment is sent to internal user a, and user a immediately forwards the email/attachement to internal user b, the attachment downloads like normal.
some type of encoding that is causing this? exchange settings?
