Hello - This is long but not too complicated - I hope?
I installed Office 2007 Small Business Edition about four months ago because I needed a more robust eMail program. My Outlook Express was not able to check more than 32 email accounts and I have over 40 addresses that need to be checked daily. (I have a number of business and affiliate sites that I am trying to operate each has an email address) After I set up all my email accounts, it seems to work fine. However, even when I only had my first five accounts initially (before adding the other 35) for over a week, I noticed that it took about three or four minutes just to get the program to open and then another few minutes to get the toolbars visible and the message & folder list open and the message preview at the bottom to be visible and operating. THEN, I also noticed that to scroll from one email to the next, it was very slow. As an example, I know that Outlook Express keeps all messages in my hard drive in DBX files so I don't have to wait on my Internet connection to see a message because it's already in my system, not my online connection. However, it seems like Outlook Express is somehow web based and each message that has images or HTML takes a lot longer than Outlook Express to view. I need speed because I cannot afford to spend half of my day sorting through emails.
I also see that I have two programs that I do not know if they are needed to have Outlook work like an eMail program. One is Business Contact Manager and the other is something called My SQL which I see on my Add/Remove program list and it seems to be connected to Outlook 2007 because it was installed at the same time. I do not even know what SQL is, much less why I am using 1/4th of a Gigabyte to have it, even if I don't use it. Is there a way to have Outlook 2007 and Office 2007 for that matter to operate in a more basic, yet faster way?
My question is simple. How is the best way to speed up Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager, or, can I somehow uninstall (or disable) Business Manager and make it run faster? How about the eMail folder? Is there a way to know if I have all my eMails in my hard drive? Lastly, Outlook Express had a Source Tab at the bottom that I could use as an HTML editor in case I wanted to add a banner to my email which has HTML is like this: <a href'"
http://www.url-adress.com... etc>Message </a> but if I try that on Outlook, even if it's set up as HTML, is there is no way to do this! Does Outlook have something similar to Outlook Express Edit/Source/View tabs when new eMails are created?
I know this is a long question, but it's only because I have to explain in a way that I know I am addressing my problem and easy for you to evaluate and answer.
Thanks to you all!
