Outlook freezes up when using "Find" in deleted Items

M

A user on our network has a problem with his computer
often freezing up when he uses the "find" feature to find
a specific message in outlook 2000. we've downlaoded
updates, run scanpst, run detect and repair. Still the
same problem, checked for viruses and spyware.

He really uses the find feature quite a bit since he
refers back to emails all the time.

Any ideas? Would appreciate any help - we're stumped.
Thanks.

Please explain why this user keeps items that he wants to search in the
trash = deleted items folder? If you notice, the icon for this folder is a
trash can - does the user keep his lunch in the wastebasket in his office?

Thanks for raising the filing issue.

However, this problem seems to be more pervasive - he does
save many emails in transaction-specific subfolders off
his main inbox. The problem does not appear to be limited
to his deleted items.

Any ideas? Are you suggesting that relocating any items
away from the deleted items folder would solve the problem?

Have you run Detect and Repair on this installation?
