Outlook version: 2007 Beta Tech Refresh
OS version: XP SP 2
Processor: Intel Duo 3.2 GHz
RAM: 4 GB
Mail Type: POP
Perhaps a question that someone might actually be able to answer is, Is
there anything I can do to speed up then send/receive process? I tried
disconnecting my Pocket PC so that Active Sync wasn't adding to the delay,
but it seemed to make no difference. I do have some rules, but not that
many. I disabled them and that helped a little, but not much (and it's not a
viable option since the rules take care of many messages for me.) Are there
any tools I can use to diagnose where the slowdown is actually occuring or
what's causing it specifically? I'd welcome the opportunity to help even
more in being a Beta tester by going a bit further in determining the source
of problems rather than just pointing them out...
Outlook is set to check my mail every five minutes. During the Send/Receive
event, all other Outlook functionality is suspended, including pausing Word
when I am in the middle of writing an e-mail (the cursor freezes and text
typed is not displayed, but fills in when the Send/Receive is completed.)
This would indicate to me that the Send/Receive is running on the same thread
as the main application. If I am correct, why is it done this way? Why is
the Send/Receive event not run on its own thread apart from the main app so
that things like moving messages between folders and writing messages isn't
temporarily frozen? I realize it's a Beta, but receiving 2k worth of e-mail
over a 3 Mb connection shouldn't take 20 seconds, it should take less than
one, especially on this machine. If it was on its own thread, this wouldn't
matter as much, but still. I tested my pop server via telnet from the same
machine and it's essentially instant in its responses.
