I am running Outlook 2007 SP1 on Vista SP2. I also use McAfee Security Center 10 and connect to the web via an anonymizer over DSL.
Lately, each time I click on another folder in Outlook, it sits there and doesn't change to that folder for about 30 seconds. If I click on the folder name again, I see "Not Responding" in the title bar, but eventually it does change with no errors.
I do have a .pst, as this is on a standalone (personal) computer and I want to keep local copies of all emails, calendar, etc.
I also sync Outlook with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 6, and PocketMirror for my Palm Pre. In the past none of this has affected Outlook's performance whatsoever and so I don't think those are related but I want to give the entire picture.
It is VERY frustrating, as you can imagine. I've read other threads here about the Not Responding issue but not about the delay in switching folders.
If someone here has experienced the same problem and has a solution, I'd be very, very grateful for a suggestion as to how to fix it. I have a sneaking suspicion it's a problem with the .pst but in the past (on another computer) I lost my (700+ MB) .pst file (with about 3 years of data) and I don't want to go through that horror again.
Many thanks!
Andy
