Alex,
I had something similar with this and traced it back to Instant
Messaging.
If you go into Tools, Options in Outlook and then click on the Other
tab, and then check that the Enable Instant Messaging in Outlook
checkbox is unticked. If not, then untick it, restart Outlook and have
another go.
Let me know if it solves it.
Simon

upgrade
I decided it was time to upgrade to XP, so upgraded W2K to WXP
(Professional), also upgraded SWMBO's PC to WXP pro.
I then installed OfficeXP Pro on my machine, it now takes an absolute
age to do anything in Outlook, assuming I'd buggered up the server
(knowing MS & Linux's history), I configured Outlook Express to pull
mail from my local POP3 box and this pulls mail down at a rate of
several mails per second (as Outlook 2000 used to), went back to
OutlookXP and it's 20-90 seconds per message. Accessing my mailbox with
anything other than OutlookXP is fine.
Mail folder is on a Samba server acting as PDC (but this was no issue
under 2000)
PC is an AMD Duron 1.3GHz with 512Mb ram and 40Gb IDE HDD and is running
between 7% & 35% on average CPU, Outlook doesn't appear to be CPU bound
when it's doing it's mail download, I've even tried disabling the
multiple rules I have and still no better performance.
When not accessing the mailbox, it seems to run OK
Anyone had any similar issues ?
