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.

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.
