I found a great way to speed up Outlook 2007 after it killed my brand new shiny laptop.

I uninstalled it and went back to Outlook 2003. Ahhh, bliss.

I did the same as you Gordon. All I really liked in the new version was the colour coding/better calendar intergration and the "todo bar" but opening emails was just stupid. Picture rendering on HTML newsletters etc was unbearable and, some of the time, plain wrong.

Outlook 2003 is like a breathe of fresh air.

I am about to go down the same path as Gordon and Laurie. I had horrible problems importing old Outlook data into 2007. There is some weird voodoo about the the new pst file structure that spikes the speed of 2007 to the point of locking it up with constant not responding messages. Numerous attempts to fix the problem were in vain. MS is going to have to come out with a fix for this. Until then, back to 2003.

I was having the same problem - Outlook 2007 running like molasses in winter on an 8 month old laptop with 1GB of RAM. I found a tip through Google to search and run something called SCANPST which is included with Outlook. It found 64 errors in my Outlook.pst file. I clicked Repair and ever since its been running great!

Same here. Failed completely to get Outlook 2007 working on my laptop (although no problems with any other software in Office 2007). So back to Outlook 2003 - and...works great!

Matt, Thanks for this helpful post. I removed the RSS feeds that I didn't want. I also noticed that I can change the settings for the offline address book. In the "Offline Address Book" settings I changed it from "full details" to "No Details". I'll have try it out for a while to see if that helps and works for me. Overall, it seems to be much faster on startup so I'm very happy...Thanks!!!

I have a brand new Dell Latitude D430 with a solid state hard drive that Outlook 2007 has ground to a halt. Seems like it's when it's updating the folders using cached mode that this is the worst. I have RSS turned off and indexing on which may be causing this. I'll try the SCANPST and see if that helps though my OST is brand new.

My new laptop has Outlook 2007 and it mostly works, except for the occasional death when I receive email.
