    Very often I find that it freezes when downloading huge mails. And on occasions it simply crashes (freezes infinitely - so we are forced to terminate the process) Nish :-(

      Check your drivers and install. As much as I love heaping it on MS, I've found Outlook 2003 to be very stable, even on some very unstable machines. cheers, Chris Maunder

        I agree. Outlook 2003 is by FAR the most stable version yet. I cannot remember the last restart whereas previous versions seemed to require some sort of restart once or twice a day.

          Something very strange happens on my Outlook 2003. The first time is loads up is always crashes when attempting to send an email. The email is lost and not sent, Outlook then restarts itself then sending mail works fine. Very weird.

            On my machine it's working fine. And it's far better than previous versions (as is the entire Office 2003) Maybe it's something else? No hurries, no worries.

                Never have this myself. Use it at work (on Exchange) and home(Pop3). It seems fine.

                          If you think Outlook 2003 freezes, try any previous version. ;) I get a freeze when I first open it from cold, but I have always attributed that to the half dozen addins I have that all start up at program launch because it never used to happen before (this is with 3 Exchange mailboxes and a dozen or so local ones too). During operation though I don't notice any major freezes. Considering how much I put that poor software through though I'm really very pleased with it - it's my e-mail client, organiser, my mobile phone's address book, and a CRM database. I figure I'm allowed to get a little bit of grief from it once or twice a day! I'm using a fast Internet connection though, and I'm guessing it takes a while to download large e-mails over yours? I don't have any experience of that with Outlook 2003 to compare. With Outlook 2000, when I was still on 56k dialup, it was unbearable. I'm not sure if that was the software or the connection though because I was on 2002 when I got broadband, and didn't start using Exchange until the 2003 version.

                              My freezes often and I've all but given up. Already running Thunderbird for one of my accounts - it's much better. Cheers, Simon sig ::
