    Hey all, So, I love my email inbox Rules. I subscribe to lots of listservs for my work account, and the incoming mail Rules- -shuffling off each of these list emails to their respective folders--keeps me sane. Problem is, I apparently can't create any more rules-- every time I do, it replaces one that already exists. I'm also finding that some of my rules have been mysteriously turned off. Anyone know why that would happen? My office recently got the MS Exchange Server; would it have anything to do with that? All of my rules are client-only. Is there a limit to how many rules can be used? If so, is there a way to increase that limit? Thoughts? Many thanks, yall. Erin

Outlook 2003 taking an age to FORWARD email

Postby John Cooper » Sat, 12 Mar 2005 19:26:34 GMT 

Hi all

I'm using Outlook 2003 on WindowsXP 3.6Ghz PC. My PST file is about
320Mb in size.

I have noticed that when I choose to Forward an email I've received
it's taking an age for the email to appear for me to put the email
address in.

e.g.
This morning I tried to forward an email I received from a supermarket
chain - there were some graphics in it but nothing very much.

I clicked the Forward button and it took 3 minutes for the email to
appear for sending.

I've noticed this on other PCs too, Outlook for some reason seems to
have slowed to a crawl.

Do you have an antivirus program that is scanning your mail?  If so, disable 
the email scanning.

Are you using Word 2003 as the message editor?  Does it speed up if you 
change back to the Outlook editor?

1.ForwadinEmail Takes an Age! Outlook 2003 

Hi al

I receive a couple of promo emails from my local supermarket twice a
week. Each email is no more than 100k in size.

The problem I have is when I choose to forward these emails to a
friend, I have to wait for ages for the email to be sent to appear on
my screen - maybe 90xecs or so!!

I've no idea why this process should take so long. I'm using AVG Free
ANtivirus that does scan outgoing emails but this shouldn't take more
than a few seconds.

This has always been a problem with Outlook 2003.

Anyone offer a solution?

Many thanks

JC

4.Outlook 2007 - Send/Receive takes AGES to update new email 

Hi,
I really like the outlook 2007 but I found that new email usualy does
not appear in my inbox when I start the client. I do notice that the
outlook indicating "updating folder" and after a while (after I see the
download bar counting the kb it downloaded) I get the message that "All
folders are up to date" (or something similar to this message). No
update to the index of messages at all.

The only way around it is to force "Send/Receive" and what happens
after that is - I have to wait maybe 15-20min while the Send/Receive
window is stuck on 97%... There is almost no network activity but my
disk does not stop working. Finally after 15-20min of waiting, the new
messages appear and the Send/Receive indicator in the pop-up window
reaches the 100% and disapear.

What is wrong with my outlook 2007? is this a known issue? is there a
way to resolve it?
I'm using XP SP2, my outlook.ost is about 790Mb (holding approx. 3
months of email) which had no problem on outlook 2003.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Gil.
