If you’re an early adopter of new technology, you get the benefits of increased productivity from use of the new features, but you also sometimes have to put up with any initial bugs or performance issues found in this new software.

Outlook 2007 suffered sluggish performance under certain conditions, such as when you were using a large PST or OST file.

Microsoft have recently released a patch that will fix these performance issues with Outlook 2007.

Symptoms being reported by users include temporary freezes when commands are executed or windows are opened, an inability of Outlook to keep up with text as it is being typed and slowness in sending and receiving e-mails.

Most of the problems don't appear to be the result of underpowered PCs or of faulty or misconfigured e-mail servers. Instead, users say, and Microsoft acknowledges, that the underlying cause is changes made under Outlook's hood to accommodate new features such as RSS feeds and indexing for faster searches.

The problems on the new e-mail indexing engine that Outlook 2007 shares with Windows Vista.

The indexing allows searches to be done almost instantly in Outlook 2007, a vast improvement over Outlook 2003. However, the process also appears to be CPU-intensive. Microsoft recommends that users put indexing on a regular schedule instead of letting it run constantly in the background.

Adding RSS feeds can quickly swell the in-boxes of many users to more than 2GB of data, according to O'Kelly. He said that causes Outlook 2007, especially when it's running on PCs that don't have large amounts of memory, to write to the hard drive much more often than it typically does -- resulting in performance slowdowns. Hopefully, Microsoft will be able to better tune that part of the software before the next major release

Microsoft posted a technical help document on its support Web site offering advice on solving the .pst and .ost file problems. For example, the software vendor recommends that users reduce the sizes of their .pst and .ost files by deleting e-mails, splitting up large files into smaller ones while archiving older messages and restricting the amount of e-mail and attachments that can be downloaded locally.

I suggest that you delete your normalemail.dotx and see if that resolves the issue.

If not, would you like to monitor to see if there is some sort of pattern that may be a clue. For example, it hangs when you are editing mail or opening an email with an attachmetn, etc. What you have described seems a little vague.
