When you say checking do you mean you get an err msg stating something along
the lines of '.....need to check your personal folders'?

Did the pst repair tool find and correct any errors?
And if you close all your suplimentary pst's, within OL, does the problem
persist?

Hi,

I'm gettng very frustrated with Outlook 2002 running on Win XP Pro. It
takes a very long time - more than 20 minutes each time when I restart my
PC or logon to my PC. It goes through and checks each of 10 or so PST
folders that I have my emails stored in.

I run the PST check and repair tool on the PSTs but that has not helped in
any visible way, though it took a very long time to check the big files.

My main PST folder is a little over 1 Gigabyte and I have at least a
couple of other PST folders that are close to that.

Thanks and Regards,

Ted M.
