Tag: Gmail and Outlook email will not send or receive

Is Your Gmail account slowing down your MS Outlook?

I just spent a few hours last week cleaning up 22,000 emails from my Gmail account. I believe I created the account in 2007 or 2008 and never took the time to just clean house. I really don’t use the account for anything anymore, I used to use it for the chat feature, which has now turned into G+ and Hangouts. I rarely use those products of Google anymore, so cleaning up as a good idea and wow…I found some interesting stuff in there!

For most of us, we have many email accounts. It’s very typical of a client to have the following email accounts

• Gmail
• Comcast/Charter
• Old AOL
• Company email (for their work or their business)

While I am seeing less and less AOL calls in, Gmail and the free internet cable provider email (Comcast and Charter) are still very popular. But the question is this, do you have 20,000 or more emails in your Gmail? And if you are using Outlook to read those emails, is your Outlook slowing down?

Might be time to clean up those emails, archive them and organize them in your preferred program by using PST files, so you can still search them.

Outlook is a program that can manage a lot of email accounts and 1000’s of emails, but the more you have to synchronize 20,000 or so emails, the slower it will get and cause Outlook to have issues. Such as sending and receiving, not opening and won’t synchronize (if you’re using IMAP)
