Peter, et al,

I'm actually having a similar problem, but when using IMAP folders. I have
several IMAP accounts and when I click on the Calendar or Tasks, Outlook
just sits and spins for a while... but not forever. It takes anywhere from
5 to 10 seconds to come back with a populated screen.

I noticed that if I use the month view in Calendar, I do not have a
performance problem. So, I assume that the reason for the sluggish
performance is that it's checking all of the mailbox files to see if I've
flagged any messages. Given all of the accounts with a total number of
messages in excess of 85K, that can certainly take several seconds.

I would like to see this improved. At the very least, I would like to see
the Calendar in week view without viewing the tasks or pulling that
information. Other alternatives to improving that performance might be
caching this information during normal mail checks or on some scheduled
interval. But, this is assuming that that's why it's so slow. If it's not
because it's checking all of the 85K message headers, I have no idea why it
is taking so long.

Dear Anyone,

I have recently installed Vista Business and Office 2007 on my development
workstation. It's working quite well, except i have a critical problem
with Outlook 2007.

Whenever i try to access anything to do with the calendar, it hangs. The
processor goes to 25% (one of the four cores maxed) and that's it. Game
over.

I'm connecting to an Exchange server, and everything works fine in XP with
Office 2007 on a separate partition. Also, no problems with accessing the
calendar using Outlook Web Access.

Any ideas?

TIA
