What factors make Outlook slow

My computer at home runs Outlook (2002 I think). It was originally set
up to access my POP account, and then I added my work's Exchange
server to it, although it doesn't "dominate" Outlook. In other words in
the Folder List pane, I have both my Personal Folders, and Exchange -
although Exchange goes over IMAP I think.

My computer at work has Outlook 2002 also, but it's set up so that
Exchange is in charge.

My Outlook at home has recently become phenomenally slow. Just clicking
on a POP message that has already been downloaded and is in my inbox
results in a 2-3 second delay before the message appears in the preview
pane.

So what I want to know is what causes this?

Is it the total size of the Outlook.pst file?

Is it the amount of messages in my inbox at any one time?

Is it the total size of my inbox?

What you have to do is shut of the "enable instant messaging option
under the other tab under options menu. This is a known proble
apparently and after having unchecked this option on both of m
machines I no longer have this problem, it was driving me nuts
