There have been quite a few posts on this forum about the poor performance of Outlook 2003 and I have been having the same issue.  I attempted to resolve this by removing the outlook add-in mentioned in other posts, but I didn't have one installed can anyone tell me why mine is still very slow.  It is taking multiple minutes to load in the preview pane and when switching between messages.  Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?

 

The machine is a Dell Inspiron 8500 with 2GB ram and a pentium 4 running XP.

 

Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
