When I drag and drop emails to a folder the transfer has become slower and
slower. I have upgraded my RAM to just under a gigabyte and that still
doesn't help. I have de-fragged, too. It used to be an almost
instantaneous
transfer. Does the size of the folders impact this speed? What can I do
to
speed this up?

Hi - when you post in here, always include your version, SP level, and mode
(if applicable) of Outlook - you can find this information in Help | About.
Also include the type of mail account(s) you use and any other pertinent
details. (Be sure to put a consise summary of your question in the subject
line, and the full details in the body of your post.)

Presuming you're using a PST file, have you tried compacting it?
