Memory issues
 
Hi folks,

I'm using Outlook 2003 on Win XP SP2.

What would effect how much memory Outlook uses? I've noticed it jumping
around all over the place between say 30Mb - 300Mb of RAM. Although I don't
understand what's causing the behaviour.

The only plugin I use is Cloudmark Desktop's anti-spam tool, which I assume
would have nothing to do with it.

Any thoughts on what would cause this dramatic memory usage?

You can disable (rather than uninstall) the plug-ins to see if there
is any effect on memory consumption. In OL2002, Tools - Options -
Other - Advanced (navigation may be similar in OL2003).

Great, thanks! I'll try that when it happens again and see if it stops it.
The weird thing is it seems to use lots of memory then suddenly jump back.

Maury Sline: Hold it, hold it. "Tomorrow night", what are you talking
about. A gig like that, you gotta prepare the proper exploitation.
Elwood: I know all about that stuff. I have been exploited all my life.
