    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 :-(

    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.

                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

                  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 ::
