Question : Outlook 2007 "Waiting to update this folder" due to multiple connections

We run Exchange 2003 SBS and Outlook 2007 clients. I cannot open Outlook 2007 for my own mailbox because Outlook hangs with the message Waiting to update this folder. I have tried on 3 PCs running Windows XP, Vista and 7. All my colleagues can login to their mailboxes OK so I am confident there is nothing wrong with the client set ups - the problem is specifically with my server mailbox. I can use OWA with no problem at all, and I can also use my iPhone with the Exchange mailbox - no problem. I have followed all the posts to switch off cached mode, delete OST files, rebuild with SCANOST, remove add-ins, start in safe mode - nothing has worked!

If you look at my connection status, you can see that the Req/Fail value is very high and ever increasing. After half an hour or so, this will reach 50,000 easily!

Does anyone know what could be wrong with my mailbox please?!
