New computer, outlook locking up

J

Hello,

My boss was having alot of problems with an old 1.5GHz HP laptop, so he asked me to find a new one for a good price.

The best price range I found was the $700 dollar range (best bang for the buck). He got a Dell 2.3GHz P4 Dual core, 3GB RAM, 500GB HD, Windows 7 Home premium.

Now what sucks is that after importing all his old emails into outlook, everytime it goes into send/receive, outlook freezes for a little bit. I was told earlier that my method for importing emails (just replacing the PST, rather than Data>open) was not good practice, but could that be causing these problems? I'm the tech guy here at work, and this has me stumped....

Don't "import". Open the old PST file via Data File Management, Open
Folder, and then copy the Items from old to new.

I guess I still don't understand why it only bogs down when doing Send/Receive?
