Fixes for Outlook 2007 Running Slowly
I believe that Outlook 2007 will compact .PST files automatically in the background if the CPU is idle and there are no disk intensive operations. BUT, you can also manually compact .PST files.
.PST (and other Outlook configuration) files are located under your username in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\... A quick route to this folder is to copy and paste the following text into Vista's Start menu "Start Search" field:
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook (for .PST files)
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook (for Outlook configuration files)
I've also noticed after linked my Google Calendar into Outlook that the Internet Calendar Subscriptions.pst file continues to grow very large (currently at 700MB).
Another area for reducing overhead on Outlook is:
- Disable Outlook Addin's not used
- Disable RSS feeds
- More complete information on both of these ideas is at Online Tech Tips
