Speeding Up Outlook
Several
years ago we published two newsletters focused on improving Outlook and
Exchange performance: Improving Outlook Performance 2
Since speed is still an issue for many Outlook users, we decided to search for additional articles from other authors that are relevant. Here is what we found:
How to Optimize and Make Outlook Faster This article focuses on reducing the size of the PST (or OST if you are working with Cached Exchange Mode) file where Outlook stores all your e-mails locally as well as removing extra Outlook Add-Ins. One interesting point was that Microsoft speech and handwriting recognition features are loaded by default but can be removed by following the instructions provided here: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=823586
