[cw-discuss] outlook 2003 freezes after 10 minutes of use

[Mike DeSimone]

I'm trying to run outlook 2003 (well, office 2003 really) on ubuntu 6.10 (edgy).

things seem to install ok, and i can connect to my exchange server,
and my inbox & calendar show up.

however, after about 10 minutes, the outlook window greys out & cpu
usage is 100%.  I have never been able to recover from this & usually
kill the process.

I do have a very large mailbox (1.5-2 gb).  could this be causing problems?

not sure what I can look at to see what's happening--are there any
cxoffice log files anywhere?

i'd love to be able to leave vista, but i really need outlook (word,
excel & ppt are also important).

I've looked at evolution and i think it can do all the free/busy time
stuff that's important for me, but am not 100% sure, so i'd like to
stick with Outlook.

anyone have any info, ideas, suggestions?

Thanks.
