The emails I've flagged I still need to do something before it's finished. I guess once Leopard comes out I will be able to use the built in todo server that syncs up to iCal... but I still like flags. Another awesome thing about Outlook: Word. It uses word for writing emails. Another awesome thing: Msn... it shows msn status within Outlook... but if you want to install a new version of msn you need to shutdown Outlook as well.

So you only have to wait for it to load once, but then it makes everything else slower! I generally use Gmail. Then most of it's running on someone else's machine. And when that's not behaving, I have the slightly annoying webmail interface for my domain. Why do you need to flag your email by the way? Ah, you have it as a start-up item?

So yeah... it's a bit slow but I'm used to that on the PC. On my computer at work it takes around 20 seconds to load (alongside other startup items), and a around the same time to close.

Because that was reason enough for me to never even try to use it. Though I guess everyone else has really fast machines and it seems almost reasonable. But what on earth could require that sort of intensive processing when closing a program? Does Outlook still take like 10 seconds to open and 30 to close?
