To access the Add-ins page in Outlook 2007, click on “Trust Center” inside the “Tools” option, and then click on “Add-ins.” In versions after Outlook 2007, you can find this option under “File -> Options -> Add-ins.” Here, click on “Go” while the drop-down menu is set to “COM Add-ins.” So removing/disabling Add-ins that are less important or that you can’t identify should make things smoother. Some shady programs can sneak in to Outlook that will make it slow or unreliable.
However, it is very important, not because you get to achieve some speed by disabling less important add-ins, but also because you are removing shady add-ins. It might seem quite a basic thing to do after all, removing additional programs working at the same time should definitely speed things up. Now click on “OK” to confirm your settings, and Outlook will archive that folder. For an average user emails older than two months should be archived. By default, Outlook will archive emails older than six months you can adjust that according to your needs.
Now, move to the “AutoArchive” tab and select the option “Archive items in this folder.” Once selected, click on the “Default Archive Settings…” button below it to adjust the settings.Īlthough the default settings are fine, you may want to customize which emails will be archived. To archive any folder, right-click on the folder and select “Properties” from the context menu.
