Redundantly, or for different URLs every time?

"The PROPFIND method retrieves properties defined on the resource
identified by the Request-URI"

This is ZideLook retrieving information about appointment 113980 (for
example).  These entries look pretty normal to me;  although the
frequency might be excessive.  But then again... 12 hours is 43,200
seconds, so 25,000 requests is about a request every 2 seconds,  which
doesn't seem too high/unusual.  I have clients that generate way more
ZideStore requests than that.

Is the Outlook application responsive / behaving normally?
