Dave, I'm doing that too, was filling my tech folder with all of the good
tips from this list for when I update. So, I have copied and moved the
information to My Documents to de-clutter Outlook Express (which, I know is
a dead duck, but it's still working anyway.)

Tom,
Here's what I recommend...and have done so with all my work-related email.
Rather than just deleting messages, I created annual or semi-annual
personal
folder files (.PST) and archived off those date ranges to those files.
Then
after creating and archiving them, I disconnected them from my Outlook
folders. This way, they are there if I need to go back, just by adding one
to my folders and using it, then removing it again. The database files
continue to reside on my hard drive, ready for access, but not being
constantly monitored by Outlook.
For archive files more than 3 years old, I moved them off to a separate
hard
drive or even a data DVD media.
Takes a bit of time when you first start archiving them off, but Outlook
does run more quickly once you've done it.

Subject: [Bulk] [JAWS-Users] Major Outlook 2010 Problem
Hello, everyone.
You may remember that, last week, I posted a quiry to the list regarding
an
increasingly sluggish Windows 7 desktop computer with Jaws, to the point
that it became unusable.
I originally thought the problem related to some sort of a virus I had
gotten, since it seemed that something in internet explorer was constantly
running.
I think that might have been part of the problem, but after taking the
computer to a local computer repair shop, it seems that the biggest
problem
is with Outlook 2010.
I am not sure how he found this out, but the computer repair person
indicated that my Outlook data file is unbelievably huge! It contains
something like 10 gigs of material, and is constantly running, and trying
to
refresh itself.
I access both my work and personal g-mail accounts via Outlook 2010, and
am
very good at deleting e-mails that are no longer of use to me.
I also periodically check my all mail folder in my personal g-mail account
to be sure that deleted e-mails are not showing up in there.
I guess my question is this: Should I totally un-install Outlook 2010,
and
re-install it again? Or, is there some way I can correct this issue with
my
currrent version of Outlook 2010?
My University currently uses Office 365, which I know contains a version
of
Outlook, so I'm wondering if that might be another way to go.
The computer tech at my local computer repair shop advises me to forget
outlook, and just access my personal g-mail via the g-mail web site, but I
have not had the greatest luck navigating that web site with Jaws 14. I'm
not sure if such an approach would work with my work e-mail account
either.
Any wisdom that can be shed on this issue would be appreciated.
Thank you.
