Outlook amil delivery - too fast?

This is a cross post from the 'server' foum. I wasn't sure which forum was more appropriate.

Is there a way to slow the message delivery down, even by just a few seconds?

I have an Outlook client who connects to the Scalix server through IMAP (she can't use the Outlook MAPI because she needs to be able to write custom rules that invoke a DLL).

Since we switched to the Scalix server, she regualrly (but not all the time) gets an Outlook rules error saying this:

The operation could not complete because the connection was busy peforming other tasks


I assume that by 'the connection' it means the server(?)

We have had the same set of rules for years and I have never seen this error until we started using IMAP mail on the Scalix server. Is it possible that the messages are simply arriving too quickly now? Before, we used our ISP and POP'ed the mail over. So it naturally came through slower.
