Outlook 'go-slow'
I'm having a bit of an annoying problem with Outlook. When I run it it takes minutes before it sorts itself out. I cleared all my emails from my inbox but it still takes ages. I then tried setting it not view emails but go to 'Outlook today'.
It still took minutes.
Any ideas?
I am running Outlook 2002 in Windows XP, On an AMD Athlon 1700+.
Anyone else suffered the same problems?

Yeah - I think it stems from the fact that Outlook is a P-O-S.
Recently did a clean install of XP and Outlook now starts up reasonably sprightly compared to before...
... until I get a few messages in the inbox again no doubt.
Same thing happens with Word - OK when you first install it, but after using it for a couple of months takes ages to open even the simplest documents.
Bill Gates in league with Intel and Western Digital, methinks.

Yup, AFAIK all versions of Outlook are slow to start up and shut down - though less irritating in fast machines.
Forgive my ignormance, but what is a P-O-S ?

'Orful
Software ?
[Actually, I'm still using OL98 and find it a quite useful PIM]
