***Sluggishness problem***

F

FW

I've been using Entourage for X for about a month now, and I'm lovin' it --
but I'm noticing lately that it's running kind of sluggish -- slow to open a
window when making a respose to an email, etc. Are there any tweakings I can
do to help speed things up so it responds more like it did when I first
started using it? Thanks.

Go to the website in my signature to learn techniques for archiving your
messages to reduce the size of your database. That will speed up Entourage
no end. But one month shouldn't normally be long enough to see a slowdown.
There may be something else.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X.
It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.

Hi

I don't think it's an archiving type fix -- the program just runs so slow
now. What other options are there?

Is it only Entourage or are the other apps running slow too? If you shut
down your computer overnight, you may have problems with the "chron files"
cleaning. This should be done automatically, but maybe doesn't. And if it
doesn't it's certainly a reason to slow down your machine.

If this makes any sense, try running MacJanitor:

If it doesn't make any sense, just forgive my intrusion ;-)

€ Try changing the column by which you are sorting the folder ( try
sorting by Subject or Name by clicking on the heading, for starters).

€ Your database may have become fragmented. Do a Typical Rebuild.

Users have reported that Grammarian, TypeIt4Me, FaxSTF slowed speed
considerably.
