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 ?
