I recently purchased the Samsung I500(Phone with pda)
In order to sync my handheld and Outlook I had to
reconfigure Outlook to Coporate and Workgroups Mail
Service settings. Since this Outlook has slowed to a crawl
and is slowing the computer in general.
Is there anything I can do other than switching back to
Internet Mail only.
Thanks

Interesting -- didn't know you had to reconfigure to Corporate mode to
sync with Palms. Haven't tried syncing with Internet only mode myself,
though.
That said, you are right: Corporate mode can cause all sorts of system
performance problems. Bugs in MS software. Typically this happens on
"slow" connections such as dial-up, VPN or even slow remote links to
remote sites.
In Corporate mode, Outlook as two sub-modes of connection: "offline"
and "Connected". Outlook can be configured to automatically detect
access to the server and "connect" or it can be configured to default
one way or the other, or even to ask you with a dialog box on startup
if it should work offline or connected.
I recommend you set it to offline mode. Also, applying all the latest
Microsoft updates to Outlook seems to improve things somewhat -- only
recently on my Win XP / Outlook XP system. Not fully fixed, but
better. Amazing -- this problem has been in all versions of Outlook
and Windows for years, and they're only just getting around to
improving it slightly.
