Best way to _SPEED UP_ Outlook2003 ? (e.g. More RAM, Dual processors...?)
Say I've had an idea...! Suppose I keep TWO .PST files always open: - One with the last (say) 7 days in it - One with all the stuff I really need over (say) the last 6 months (about 1GB!). So if I keep the .PST file that I DOWNLOAD into really, really small, *maybe* Outlook(2003) wont get so 'confused' and do it somewhat quicker! I could then regularly run an archiving function to archive everthing over a few days old. OR do you think that this wont work - because it will have to load the whole (??) of "last 6 month" file - i.e. 1GB and that would then slow up Outlook...! Any thoughts? Ship Shiperton Henethe |

But I'm using POP3 and not msExchange ! Well then of course you can't use Cached Exchange Mode. From its very name you can tell it requires Exchange. -- Brian Tillman |

I'd be really surprised if Outlook loads the whole PST into memory, so even if the 1GB PST is the only PST, I doubt it would slow Outlook 2003 significantly if it;s a Unicode PST. -- Brian Tillman |

Interestingly it now appear that my poor hard disk is taking quite a hammering (I hadnt realised - mainly because it's the first HD that I've ever had that is almost absolutely silent!) It's strange how windows is needing to write QUITE so much to disk when I can see from the "Local Area Connection" / TCP/IP icons (which are intermittently glowing icons bottom right on the screen), that there is almost nothing being downloaded - just a very slow trickle. Strange I wonder if it's downloading so slowly because the PST is still corrupted in some way and whether all that writing to disk is a side effect of said corruption... Ship Shiperton Henethe |
