Outlook 2007 - making it leaner
My OS is win 7 prof 64 bit and I use office 2007. I have been using Outlook 2007 for many years as my Act for Sage 2013 is not compatible with the latest versions after Outlook 2007.
My email is msn and I also have outlook connector installed.
The main folders that I have are : Personal folder, Archive folder and the msn email folder. under this msn folder, I have lots of folders where I file my Read email for ease of retrieval. I guess over the years I have accumulated tons of emails and some with attachments (not very large files), and thus whenever Outlook 2007 loads I think it takes longer.
I wonder if it is possible to file as many as possible of these folders onto my HD so that when outlook loads, it does not have to load all these emails and attachments, but at the same time whenever I need to refer to any of those emails in the HD, I could easily open it to read them.
Hope the Gurus could please suggest a strategy or game plan on how to achieve this. Please be as basic as possible so that it will be easy for me to follow.
Thank u.

archive the older emails into a separate .pst. then close the .pst.. you can reopen the pst at any time in the future.
