Perhaps if you were to describe the symptoms in more detail, someone could
suggest a fix. Not every installation of Outlook is slow. It's something
peculiar to your instance.

Thank you.
I thought that perhaps all of them were slow. My previous version Outlook
was fine.
The problem is saving emails to my folders. When I try to save, the process
often hangs up for seconds and even minutes. Then I force Outlook to shut and
try again. I have a PC with a Celeron 2 GHz Cpu and over 120 GB of hard drive.
Do you have any ideas on how to speed it up?

What do you mean by "save" and how do you save? Are you dragging a message
from one folder to another or right-clickng and choosing Move or Copy? Are
you trying to export? Please describe the process in some detail.
