Microsoft Outlook 2007 is painfully slow. Whether you are running a trial copy of Outlook or a licensed version, the performance of Outlook 2007 software is much slower than even it's predecessor, Outlook 2003.
The software freezes during start-up, the status bar shows "Loading Dataset.." for minutes and you can perform no actions on your email items unless that initial "Send/Receive" is complete.
If your work productivity is taking a hit due to the poor performance of Outlook, here are some suggestions and fixes to supercharge Outlook 2007:
1. Disable RSS Feeds in Microsoft Outlook 2007
Microsoft Outlook 12 installs with a set of RSS feeds - if you are not using Outlook to read RSS feeds, it's best to remove them from Outlook so that no resources are spent in synchronization of these feeds with the web.
Goto Tools - Account Settings - RSS Feeds. Select all the RSS feeds and hit the Remove button.
2. Disable Outlook Add-Ins You No Longer Use
Goto Tools - Trust Center and click the Add-ins tab. There's a GO button at the bottom of the dialog screen, click that button and uncheck (disable or even remove) the Outlook add-ins (like GoogleDesktop, iTunes Add-in, Acrobat PDF Maker, Mindjet Mindmanager, etc) that you no longer use.
If you have upgraded to Outlook 2007 from Outlook 2003 or XP, chances are that the old addin are not compatible with the new release and may be the reason behind the slugging performance of Outlook.
3. Reduce the size of your Outlook.pst personal folder.
Delete any items that you do not want to keep like emails with really large attachments). You can even archive them to a separate Outlook data file.
Now click Data File Management on the File Menu. Select the data file that you want to compact, and then click Compact Now in the Settings command.
4. Start Outlook 2007 in Safe Mode
If none of the above tricks, try running Outlook 2007 in safe mode (start -> Run dialog and type outlook /safe). The second option is to disable all your email rules and filters. And if Norton antivirus or Zone Alarm is configured with Outlook, disable that association. One of these actions should identify the culprit that's making Outlook to crawl.
It's likely that some of the tricks above would help in improving the performance of your Outlook 2007. If you are looking to improve the performance of Outlook 2003, try removing the MSN Messenger association with Outlook.
Forgotten Attachment Detector for Outlook 2007

Missing email attachments are a pain for both the sender and the recipient of messages, and at the same time an all-too-often occurrence. However, there are ways to prevent the task of adding an attachment from slipping the mind of the users. The Forgotten Attachment Detector (FAD) is a tool designed for just such a purpose. An enhancement for Office 2007 Outlook, FAD is capable of identifying emails with missing attachments and warning the user to correct the issue. FAD was released under the Office Labs umbrella as an add-in for Outlook 2007.
“Like similar projects, FAD uses the presence of certain keywords such as “have attached” and “find attached” to determine if a mail is likely to include an attachment. To improve its accuracy FAD also uses a set of secondary keyword pairs. These are words that have a lower likelihood of indicating a mail is likely to include an attachment except when they appear together. For example: Finding just the word “attached” in a mail isn’t a reliable indicator that a mail is likely to include an attachment,” revealed Microsoft's Bhavesh Chauhan, the creator of FAD.
FAD scans the text of a message in order to determine whether the email indicates that an attachment should be present. The add-in is set up by default with a set of parameters that permit it to correctly identify user intent of adding an attachment from simple uses of the “attach” term. Of course, at the same time, FAD provides users with the option to fine tune the add-in. “The current version allows you to customize which keywords FAD uses for detection. To customize the keywords click the “FAD” button on the main Outlook toolbar. The dialog that opens allows you to add, edit, or delete the keywords which will trigger a notification from FAD,” Chauhan added.

This issue maily cause by HTML coding. GMail is most frequent for using a web-based email client. In some cases, the message is
correctly spaced when received and only double Spaced when replied to.
The Causes of this is issues.
When you press Enter while creating HTML email, Outlook inserts a paragraph tag (
), so two Enters inserts two
tags,
which is double spaced when rendered in a browser. If you use Shift+Enter, which creates the link Break tag (
),the message
will not look double spaced in a browser. This will look ok in mail client.
The solution of this issue.
You have 5 options:
1. Use plain text for messages. Plain text will look ok in any and every email client available.
2. Press Enter once, not twice, when composing HTML formatted email.
3. Press Shift+Enter twice at the end of a paragraph, rather than pressing Enter twice.
4. Just ignore it as an inconstancy in the way various applications handle HTML.
5. Edit the email template to add '12 points after' in the Normal style.
There is some editing also in Template
In Outlook 2007 : First off all you close the microsoft outlook. Then try search or locate the NormalEmail.dotm and open it for
editing. In Vista the template folder location is C:\users\Usersname\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Tempaltes. To easily access this
foder in Windows XP or Vista , Paste %appdata%\Microsoft\Template in run command.
in the Start search dialog (Vista) or the address bar of Windows Explorer.
1. Right click on NormalEmail.dotm and choose Open. This will open the template in Word as a template.
2. Right click on the Normal style button in the ribbon and chose Modify.
3. Click Format in the lower left and choose Paragraph.
4. In the Spacing section, change the After value to 12 points.
5. Save and close the template.
After that when you write a new message you'll press enter once and have white space when recipients read the message in any
client or web browser. Replies will use the style sheet of the original message.
Problem: Outlook is sending unknown messages
|
In Outlook Most of the user have problem with unknown message. Their Outlook keeps sending unknown messages.This problem seems to be most common with IMAP accounts. In many cases the messages are undeliverable and are returned to your mailbox as an NDR.
We are seeing that from users that suspect Outlook is ending Spam. Most of the users think that their computer is infected with some spyware or unknown spambot. but it's not true. it's a bug in how Outlook 2007 responds to read Receipt request for junk Email.
Mostly Spam occasionally includes requests for read receipts. In many of the cases this is so the spammer can check for valid email addresses but most of the time it’s not intentional or the spammer just wants to be doubly annoying since the sender’s address is invalid.
Sample Read Receipt ( For Example )
To: [an address you don't recognize]
Subject: Not read: [Varying Subjects]
Body:
Your message
To: [your address]
Subject: [Varying Subjects]
Sent: 9/25/2008 4:19 AM
was deleted without being read on 10/26/2008 9:21 AM.
The only difference between Read and Not Read receipts is the subject is prefixed with 'read', instead of 'not read' and the text says it was "read on [date]".
Main Causes of this issue:
Mainly in Microsoft outlook Newer Version Of Outlook offer the ability to control, If read receipts are sent but there may be a bug with IMAP accounts and read receipts in Outlook 2007. When you move messages
with a receipt request to the Junk E-mail folder and empty the Junk E-mail folder using another client, the setting in Tools, Options, Email Options, Tracking Options may be ignored.
The steps to repro are as follows:
1. Send yourself some messages with receipts requested and move them to Junk E-mail.
2. Sync with IMAP and update all folders then close Outlook.
3. Empty junk email folder using a different client.
4. Reopen outlook.
5. When outlook updates the folder, it ignores the Tracking setting and always returns receipts as it syncs the junk mail folder, purging the messages deleted from the other client.
Workaround
Until Microsoft releases a fix, do the following:
1. Always mark messages as read before emptying the Junk Email folder.
2. Always empty the Junk Email folder from Outlook.
If you Still do not want to send receipts back, set your Microsoft Outlook to never ask and never send, otherwise set Your microsoft Outlook to always ask before sending.
