Hi all

I'm using Outlook 2003 on WindowsXP 3.6Ghz PC. My PST file is about
320Mb in size.

I have noticed that when I choose to Forward an email I've received
it's taking an age for the email to appear for me to put the email
address in.

e.g.
This morning I tried to forward an email I received from a supermarket
chain - there were some graphics in it but nothing very much.

I clicked the Forward button and it took 3 minutes for the email to
appear for sending.

I've noticed this on other PCs too, Outlook for some reason seems to
have slowed to a crawl.

Do you have an antivirus program that is scanning your mail? If so, disable
the email scanning.
 
Are you using Word 2003 as the message editor? Does it speed up if you
change back to the Outlook editor?
