Hi,

I am wondering if anyone has managed to come up with a solution to Outlook
2007's behaviour with IMAP. I am running it on a laptop, which I put to
sleep a few times a day.

It seems that when you either start the application or just awake your
laptop after a longer time when Outlook has not been checking an IMAP
account, it takes it anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes to actually download the
IMAP email. This is usually much worse when there are a lot of spam
messages (by a lot I mean ~10, not really *that* much) to filter out into
the Junk folder.

You can either wait for the above period of time, during which the
application is basically hung up, or you can kill it and restart (although
you need to do this manually, not through the "restart outlook" requester)
at which point it will load up, have the IMAP email available, but not
filtered with the rules.

Any ideas?

Iggy
