Hi All,
I have been having freakin' slow opening of html messages from my in-box for
a long time now. Every time I get a message with html and/or embedded
pictures (that aren't even downloaded the first go) Entourage goes into this
schizophrenic 'pause', where nothing happens or can be selected inside
Entourage's window. Unless I wait on the order of several minutes (which I
rarely do, admittedly), to get use of Entourage again, I must quit it and
re-open. Re-opening the same message then goes much quicker. Until the next
HTML message... and then repeat.
85%+ of my mail is not HTML coded. Still, this bugs me. I have rebooted
recently for other reasons and this made no difference.
This can't be happening to everyone, but I see no reason for it to happening
here. It happened on my installation with a G3 (OK, it's a quite slow
machine by comparison), similarly on a G4 laptop, and now again on my newer
G5. The details of my installation and software follow. I think I can see a
similar problem when quitting a Word file. Any correlation?
Is it a feature issue? I have HTML off by default.
Is it a M$ issue?
Is it a OS X issue?
Is it something else?
This is starting to bug me. Help or some direction would be appreciated.
Here's what I will soon do:
1. Rebuild the internal HD (including permissions). It has been a while. I
found that despite attempts by 10.4 to repair permissions at install,
problems creep in screwing up permissions.
2. Rebuild the Entourage database.
MY Computer info:
MAC 2.0GHz dual processor PPC 1.5GB RAM
Connection DSL Hi-speed via 100BT
Office 11.1 upgrade including Entourage
Graphics Pad (Wacom Intuous 3)
LCD Display hp2335
SATA drive 160GB
FW drives
