Outlook 2007 RTM still slow

When I am using Outlook 2007 it will just shut down at any time. There does
not seem to be any reason or certain thing I am doing. Is anyone else having
this problem.

Just to note, I'm on a brand new Core 2 Duo T7400, XP sp2 install, so
it's not hardware or legacy XP junk slowing me down.

When I start Outlook, it takes ~30 seconds before I am able to perform
any action.

When email is being received, Outlook freezes. If I'm composing an
email at the time, I can no longer type. If I'm trying to view or
delete other email, no luck. I have 5 email accounts, so the freezing
is around 12-15 seconds every 2 minutes. If I'm receiving a file, the
freezing lasts longer.

Deleting more than a few items from my inbox often freezes things too.

Not to mention it's using 100MB of memory.

I heard that the Beta had similar problems, looks like it made it into
RTM. Does anyone know a fix (besides reinstalling oulook 2003).

None yet, I would think it will take a while to fix these problems
since they existed in the beta as well and were not fixed before RTM.

No updates yet...it's still unusable. Wait for the Service Pack they
should have the kinks worked out by then.

Running into the same issue but had a couple other things to add that i
didn't see other's post.

Configuration:

3.2Ghz Dual Core CPU, 2GB RAM, Vista Enterprise, Office 2007 Professional
Plus connecting to Exchange 2003. Symantec AV Corporate.

No POP accounts, no RSS feeds, no .PSTs loaded.

Outlook starts up super quick. Sometimes I can read a few emails really fast
when I first start up but it always ends up taking nearly a minute or more
to view each email. I have tried disabling all add-ons, etc. After the
problem starts, re-starting Outlook does not fix the issue.

Now, to complicate the matter, I ran Office 2007 beta and Vista RC2 just
fine, without this problem occurring at all. I have also run Office 2007 on
Windows 2003 server without this problem. Additionally, the other tech in the
department is running an identical configuration as me without this issue
happening. Both of us have fairly large amounts of emails in the system
(10,000+) since we use email to track support calls and system logs. Both
systems were set up as clean installs within the last week or two.

I am surprised there aren't more people complaining about this.

Hope this helps a little.

Hi there,

I have similar issues with Outlook starting up and the amount of time it
takes before I can read E-mails.

Clean install of XP Pro on 3.2 D Intel with 2 gig RAM Outlook 2003 was far,
far quicker than Outlook 2007 so is there a fix or should I go back to using
Outlook 2003?

Tim.

My test team has also been experiencing the freezing issue when Outlook
sends/Receives. We are not in an Exchange environment. Here is something
that is showing a lot of promise in fixing the problem for us:

• Tools Trust Center
• Click Add-ins
• At the bottom, change the dropdown menu to Exchange Client Extensions and
click Go
• Disable any Extensions you see here.

Same issues he slow receive (machine basically stops doing anything
else), disk churn. I have about 8 pop accounts, 0 rss, 0 exchange.
Upgraded frrom OL2003. PST is about 760M, 2 archive files, 1.2G and
800M. PST on C drive (Dell 1750 laptop with 2.0GHz Core Duo, 2G RAM,
7200RPM drive). Also installed Desktop Search, now my whole system is
sluggish is all the time, and just stops when Outlook is doing its
thing.

I've had the same probelms with Outlook 2007 being slow and have posted here
and elsewhere.

Tried the above without any improvement.

Brett says he is surprised there aren't more complaints about OL2007 speed.
So I just wanted to add my voice to them. There are several other threads
about this issue, but remember it has not been officially released yet.
When it does expect a flood (if people can actually use their computers
while OL is paralysing them that is).

I have a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo Sony VAIO, and after upgrading to OL2007, even with
add-ins disabled, it can stop me typing for up to a minute while it receives
1 email. Great!
