  • 1.  Outlook 2007 runs slow

    Posted Nov 25, 2009 09:00 AM
    Hi,

    I'm running Symantec Endpoint 11.0.4000.2295 and Microsoft Outlook 2007 with all service packs applied.
    Sometimes when opening mails, especially ones with attatchments, Outlook stalls for up-to 10 seconds.
    I have all items older than 3 months stored in a PST-file which amounts up to 7GB, but disabling this feature doesn't help.
    It all runs smoothly when I disable Endpoint by right clicking the tray icon and select 'disable'.
    Any suggestions?

    BR,
    Jon

    Seems like it was a bug and its fixed in latest MU5
    Please download the latest release and update on one client check if that helps the preformance

    Outlook Auto-Protect has problems with attachments containing non-ASCII letters in the file name
    Fix ID:
    1529690
    Symptom: Attachments with non-ASCII characters cannot be opened.
    Solution: Added functionality to retrieve the UNICODE

    Release Update 5 (RU5)

    You dont need to buy it you just need the serial key which you used to download earlier versions.

    go to
    https:/fileconnect.symantec.com
    put in your serial key
    Select MU5
    Select CD1
    download it.
    once done, install just the client on one of the affected machine
    check the performance.if its well and fine,upgrade the environment to MU5

    check this discussion for more info.
