Preview is very slow in Outlook 2002

[Paul]

If I select a different message, it takes several seconds
to show the message in the preview window. In the past
the delay was not noticeable. Does anyone have a
suggestion how to correct.

You can either disable Instant Messaging, or set it to run in the
background. Tools->Options->Other for disabling. On the Tools->options
menu in IM.

I don't think that addresses the question. I have the
same problem (it can take 5-10 seconds for the selected
message to show in the Preview window) and already have
Instant Messaging disabled.

I am having the same problem that a number of other
people seem to have mentioned recently in this
newsgroup. The message preview pane takes 5-10 seconds
to display a message every time you click on a new
message or a new folder or anything. Considering it used
to take only a fraction of a second, with this slowdown
it has become incredibly frustrating and I want to throw
my laptop through the window every time I try to access
email.

Outlook was working fine, with a very fast preview, until
a week ago. That was when I discovered the Office Update
website and installed first the Office XP SP-1 upgrade
and then straight after the Office XP SP-2 upgrade. That
is when the painfully slow preview problem started. I've
searched Microsoft's Outlook 2002 support site but there
seems to be no official recognition of this problem.

If I switch the preview pane off, it still stalls for the
same 5-10 seconds when you double click to open an email
in its own window, and I've tried it with Instant
Messaging both on & off and the problem still happens.

Does anyone know of a fix to this?

Thanks,
Mark Hobba.

Well it worked for me. I was having the exact same
problem you described but disabling IM stopped the
annoying delay.
