I did something with Outlook that MAY have gone a long way to solving the slow receiving problem. I reordered my rules to put the most used ones at the top. Since the new rules always go to the top of the list, the first rules I ever put in were at the bottom. I also deleted some old ones - I have created a lot of rules over the last 2-3 years. I can't really run any benchmarks, but it SEEMS to be a little snappier. Is there anything to this?

I don't need any bells or whistles - just speed. I used Thunderbird as well for a few years and it was great - then suddenly it went south on me and I couldn't get it to work. It's probably had 3-4 releases since then though. I really liked it when I was using it though I can't remember why. Maybe just using a non-M$ product is it's own reward.

I just installed 2007 to test it out and what a pig that is. When checking email it complete stops everything on the machine (AMD Athlon 64x2 Dual Core Processor 5400+ with 2GB RAM). I can run Photoshop, Illustrator, Access, and numerous other high pressure programs on this thing at once but Outlook 2007 brings it to its knees. Constantly hesitates on typing replies - I just had to wait for it to catch up in this reply! On the positive the SPAM filter seems to works really well. Some other PIMs you may want to try: i.Scribe (free) or its commercial sibling InScribe Poco Systems' Barca John B. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 10:30 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Email Program Again 2003 SP3 _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
