MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Outlook 2003 - large volume, slow
My boss at work has 1,000+ emails in his Inbox (many have attachments) and lots more in other folders. Would this explain why Outlook is very slow? Or is there something we can do besides delete messages? > My boss at work has 1,000+ emails in his Inbox (many have attachments) > and lots more in other folders.

Other apps don't do that. The "sent" folder has 5,000+ items but I don't know if that causes slowness.

I don't know how to turn it off. > In Outlook, when you click on something, it will do nothing for 5-10 > seconds, and then suddenly do what it's supposed to do.
