Question asked on Mar 19, 2013
I have been using MS Office for Mac for 3 years. I use most often Outlook for my e-mail accounts.
Some 6 months ago I have noticed that Outlook slows down when downloading and sending mails.
More importantly, when composing an e-mail ( a new or a reply), the screen (new e-mail) freezes and nothing happens on it for a while.
The freeze is for 2-10 seconds, then I can continue writing for 2-3 sec., until the screen freezes again.
It is very disturbing and annoying, as anyone could imagine.
Ironically, this situation is getting worse every time I install new MS patch/update/fix for Office 2011.
(I have noticed that every time MS comes up with "an update", and I install it, Mac wants me to update their OS X. Is this a coincidence?)
Does anyone understand the reasons for this issue?
Is there a fix for it?
WIll be grateful for any tips.
Greg.
