Server component monitor status (C) might give you a clue about any issues with the Exchange server itself. Worth a shot!

I'm not sure about this one. Is the SMTP service (D) on the Exchange server worth checking out?

Network bandwidth utilization (A) could also be a good option to look at. The slow email could be caused by network congestion.

But what about checking the SMTP service on the Exchange server? That could also be a potential cause.

Hmm, I'd go with B) Mail queue length on the Exchange server. That seems like a good place to start investigating the email slowness.

Let's also look at the network bandwidth utilization to see if that's causing the issue.

I think we should look at mail queue length on the Exchange server.
