They seem to have changed Outlook's architecture resulting in some big issues with email handling. You must do the steps indicated if you want any chance of getting it to be usable. The service pack is there now and will also be available from Microsoft Update. Installing it will make a difference and it fixes quite a few hundred bugs and problems. You could also go back to Outlook 2003 if you have that available. Almost every Outlook 2007 user agrees that Outlook 2007 is a step backwards!!!!

I need to maintain all the data, and reducing the size of the file was not an option. What is so strange is why would an earlier version work, and a later, more improved, new, fancy expensive version NOT. The deeper issue is not so much the lack or ease of upgradability but the piss poor response from the malayasian call center and their incompetent staff. If you sell a product, you should foresee issues relating to upgrading - besides, having to wait for the service pack to be released and then install it, makes no sense. Thank you for taking the time to make these suggestions. I appreciate the suggestions, and they were EXACTLY what I did, or would do – IF I could.

Typically we're using Outlook with 6 - 8 email accounts, so the 5 email issue isn't the real issue. Have you tried installing Office 2007 Service Pack 1? It certainly improves things, but doesn't cure all. Did you follow the instructions in this blog post? We found Outlook 2k7 to be really flaky to begin with, but creating a new profile, reducing the size of PST files and careful selection of the options made a big difference. You may also like to raise a complaint with MS customer service about the product and the support you have received.

I was told by PHILLIPINES support that I had too many e-mail addresses - Gee, 5 e-mail addresses for work and personal crashes a program like Outlook - B.S.!!!!!!!!! :shock: I spent two hours on the phone with the phillipines last night with nothing but frustration and some moron with the ID number of "v-2paya" :evil: telling me I would get tier 2 support calling me in the morning between 7-8 about this matter - B. S. !!!!!! I called and was told by ARUN JAGAMATH that the tech NEVER received authorization to go to Tier 2, :shock: and he should not have told me. I have been hung up on, transferred to PAY support, and lied to. Perhaps Outlook 2K7, like Vista, is a waste of money and we should wait another two years for the next iteration? :mad: After upgrading to O2K7 from 03, my Outlook downloaded my e-mail and I could not find them.

I appreciate you helping. I tried safe mode but to no avail. I have finally found the outlook file and right clicked and did a system restore to yesterday. Now it seems to work - but I have no idea why. I am worried that it will crash again. This fix took me about 3 hours :mad: Well it probably would take you much less time. Thanks for checking in - I may be back in no time. Hi there! I appreciate you helping. I tried safe mode but to no avail.
