Valentine Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I use Outlook but a few months ago, all of a sudden, it became real slow at opening inbox, sent items etc. Any ideas. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topt Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Do you mean Outlook.com and if so which browser are you using to access it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I can only suggest googling it and looking at all the various avenues - size of inbox, archiving if too many mails, checking the pst files, file corruption, latest Office updates installed etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Maybe you have a problem with an Outlook Add-In. They can slow it down. Here are some info (that's just the first article I found) http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1959/outlook_2007_disabling_enabling_add_ins/ It could also be that you have lots of mail which make the file size huge. If you use IMAP the .ost file grows all the time and even if you delete mails is does not get smaller. That makes it slow. Other reasons might be and old hard disk with lots of fragmentation - defrag it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
