Hi

And thank you for answering

YES I agree that is the way to go
But unfortunately that is exactly what he does not want to do

What he wants is a miracle solution

And that is what I cannot find

But thanks for the reply and I will try to convince him

Bye for now

On one of our computers, when we open Outlook it takes for ages to

How large is the PST and what version of Outlook?

Unfortunately he insists on having access to all of his emails once
in a while even those two, three or more years old
And as he is the managing director I have to accept it

Has anybody got an idea?

Divide the PST into multiple PSTs. Organize items in those PSTs in anty
way the director is comfortable. For example, move all messages received
in 2004 to a PST named "2004" and move all mesasges received in 2005 to a
PST named "2005". If that ordering doesn't work, use another. Create a
PST for each sender, for example, and move all messages from the same
person to a PST dedicated to messages from that person. You can organize
things in whatever way the director wants to work.
