I have a client using Outlook 2007 with a PST file that is 14 GB. When he works, he always has up to 20 e-mails open at one time, each e-mail could have a 1-15 page PDF file attached and opened. The inbox has 22,000 files and because of this, Outlook crashes or freezes quite often. I have moved a lot of the older e-mails to separate PST files and was able to cut the size of the main PST file to about 12GB. I tell him that working with everything open is causing these issues. The rest of the specs are:
Thank You very much
- Dell Latitude E55 20
- 4 GB RAM
- 500 GB Hard Drive
- Windows 7 64 Bit
- Is this abuse of Outlook?
- Is there a remedy for this client (The way his business is laid out it is hard to change his work habits)
- This is a POP account, would exchange be more appropriate?
Thank You very much
