From: Alex on 19 May 2010 06:41 Hi, I recently installed Outlook 2007 on Windows 7 (on my MacBook Pro via Parallels). After installing, I imported the PST file from the version of Outlook on my old computer. Everything worked great at first, but for no obvious reason Outlook has begun really, really dragging (5-10 seconds for actions to be completed) when I attempt to delete e-mails and mark e-mails as read/unread. This is definitely not a computer hardware issue as this is a new and extremely fast computer. This lagtime is becoming unbearable and is resulting in it taking me nearly twice as long to get through my e-mails. I've tried both restarting Outlook, Windows, and my computer. Can anyone diagnose this and provide some potential solutions? Thanks, Alex

First, importing from a PST is not recommneded. Simply open the PST to gain access to what it contains. If it's the only PST you need to access, then make it the default data file on Tools>Account Settings>Data Files. Have you applied all the Office service packs that are available?
