I use this for work and recently 2007 seemed to ground to a halt. I upgraded to 2010 but still same problem. Takes forever to open an email or delete or really anything. I've tried compressing the .pst file but that didn't really help. Any computers geniuses out there that have some ideas?

Thanks

Ron

If you have a giant number of emails you may just need to archive them and start with a fresh inbox. When my job required me to send 80-100 per day with hundreds received, my computer would stall out after a few years. I started doing this once a year. It's more of a pain to access an old message later but you still have them.

Likely not enough info to debug Ron. Is the problem Outlook or your computer? What type of extensions do you have installed in Outlook (Google will tell you how to review that and disable if you have mysterious stuff going on). How recent are you regarding virus and malware scanning?

Without knowing more, I would either let Outlook archive stuff, or (what I do) create per time period (yearly for me) archives for email that I want to keep but don't need immediate access to. Those archives can either be live (connected to outlook), or you can disconnect them once older messages are in the PST files. Then I reconnect/disconnect them as needed, but only keep recent/actionable emails in the main PST file.

Good luck!

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

Yep, I have recently had to start a whole new inbox to fix my problems.
