Outlook Really slow.

[Eric C. Vogel]

Any reason? The PST is 900 Megs, but that just seems odd. I keep moving mail
to another pst I am connected to, but is slow and takes time, which I have
not had to do much of yet. My pst was 1.4gigs till I ran Inboxer on my
SBC/Yahoo account went from 51k to 14k.

Takes forever to get e-mail, delete, move..... It is not Inboxer as it
happened before I installed it.


Win XP Pro SP2 MCE 2k4, P-VI 2.8Ghz, 1 gig ram. Outlook 2003 SP1, all
patches.

My next step is to do a repair (I went into Set Default Program... and
Outlook was not listed), but my hunch is it will not. I did recently defrag
with Roxco Perfect Disk 6, but I then started to use SpeedDisk as I just got
SysWorks 2005 (had 2003) and was just as good as Windows. PD I saw a
performance gain. I had to stop it. So hopefully ones of these will do it.
But something is not right.

Where is the PST file located? You need to compact it & perhaps run
scanpst.exe on it....

I'm not familiar with that product.

PerfectDisk/Speeddisk are fine apps, but won't necessarily help you here.

I kinda figured PerfectDisk would work, but I am running out of ideas. After
doing archiving I compact it frequently tring to get it down. I will try
scanpst

PerfectDisk is a disk defrag utility - it may help in general, but won't
help w/your PST file specifically. Let us know how scan pst works. Also, you
didn't answer my questions...

Sorry I went to run scanpst. I compressed also. It did find errors and does
run much faster. Mail comming in is still slow and outgoing will not go out.
It looks like it does, but does not. no error messages. I will run scanpst
one more time tomorrow.

Are you running Business Contact Manager in Outlook 2003?
