2007 PAINFULLY SLOW sending/receiving POP3 & Hotmail
I have it installed on my home PC with the latest Windows/Office updates. I
installed it under the local Administrator account, but I set up a normal restricted user account for myself to use on a daily basis. Only add-in is the Outlook Connector. This is a brand new XP installation, and there's little else on it. I had fatal NTFS corruption on the old, and I got my PST file from backups. I imported it, and it did all the accounts on its own, then I added the Outlook connector for a couple of Hotmail accounts. It's not always painfully slow, sometimes it's perfectly normal. But when it is slow, there's a cure that works every single time -- use fast-user switching and log in as Administrator. As long as the Administrator account is logged in, it will continue to run quickly. The Administrator account is not configured for Outlook, only used for the Office installation. I did walk thru the wizard to set it up under Administrator without any email accounts, hoping that would help, but it hasn't. It's not the size of the .pst file, either. I delete most email, so there's little in it & the size is 23 MB. The .ost files for the Hotmail are much smaller. Any ideas on what's wrong? |

On top of that, Outlook won't add any accounts "on its own". It's not always painfully slow, sometimes it's perfectly normal. The initial release of Outlook 2007 was slow.
