Fix PC Errors

Outlook Express is such a good email program used by millions all over the world, but after a while you may get problems with startup speed and other slow errors.

I used to get so frustrated with the speed of my Outlook opening, it sometimes took up to 2 minutes just to open. This was just an annoyance when I needed to access emails fast. I discovered this cool tweak that you can do that will increase the speed of your outlook startup dramatically.

Basically, every time you get an email your Outlook will store it in a file, so after a while this file will become huge. You need to go through your emails and delete all the useless emails you do not need, this should free up some space and make your startup faster. The startup will become faster because your Outlook has to look through this entire file every time it starts up.

Even after you delete a bunch of old emails you may find that your Outlook still takes a while to start up. This is due to that fact that your outlook still has to look through the entire file for emails, whether it is full or empty, so you need to compact this file to make sure your startup is fast.

Follow these points to compact your personal folders file in Outlook;

• Open up your Outlook
• Click tools
• Open up options
• Click the mail setup tab
• Open up data files
• Click on settings
• Click compact now
• It may take a minute or two
• Done

This should help you increase the startup speed of your Outlook and stop the frustration of waiting minutes to see emails, but remember also to regularly delete unwanted emails to keep your personal folders clean.
