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!!!

Having trouble downloading my e-mails in to MS Outlook 2007 Vista and also sending out e-mails. The e-mails get tuck in the outobx. On downloading e-mails, it looks like it is downloading but nothing comes in to the inbox. Anybody know wht is going on? I have internet connection... no problems... search engines are fine... MS Outlook is the problem.. Help

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.

All in all to my mind there is only one tool for work with outlook files and recovery it too-fix exchange pst,applcation helped me not once,also utility can restore either your mailbox or the whole system in minutes,can easily repair your mailbox, no need to waste your time and prepare backup copies, that should be updated regularly,analyze your mailbox for errors and extract all emails, contacts and attachments, if necessary,works with all supported versions of Microsoft Windows operating system and Microsoft Outlook email client,will display it automatically, when this Outlook pst fix program is launched, it happens, when current user has only one default profile,can help you to find all files with *.ost and *.pst formats, that are located on your HDD,extract separate files, that can be opened even without email client, this tool supports *.eml, *.txt and *.vcf formats.

I works with mails very often and consequently had problems with it too.Couple months ago my mails were damaged and I used-undelete outlook express address book.Tool solved problem quite good.In addition program can also helps to rescue Address Book files by carefully restoring contact entries one by one and exporting them into a set of files in vcf format.
