Outlook Tune Up
Schedule your Outlook tune up today and in 30 min or so, I will cover an 18+ point checklist for you. I’ll save it on your computer, so you have all the information and teach you how to do things like Windows updates, Office updates, Outlook tips, online backup verification and answer a few questions if you have them. This is a needed service for those that do not have an IT company managing their computers and for small & home office business computer users.
Please read this entire page before scheduling. Keep in mind that during the tune up, I will let you know of repairs needed, migration and offer a quote for another appointment. I do not troubleshoot issues during this time.

Outlook 2010 is slow and won’t search
Ms. Outlook Expert here (Lisa aka Call That Girl) telling you all about my support call I got in today. Client is very technical with Outlook, but not all techy clients know why their Outlook can slow down and many think they have too much email. Which can be the case, but usually I have to remote in and go check many things that can cause Outlook 2010 to slow down. Sometimes to a turtle pace!
So today we will talk about Outlook 2010 and why it can slow down.
Here is the list of usual suspects…
- PST’s have too much email in them (so, yes…you need to move off some email)
- Too many PST folders open (No, you don’t need 12 years of archive folders all open at the same time….probably?)
- You are searching all of the folders, (when you might only need to search maybe 1 or 2)
- Your indexing is broken (the search feature)
- Outlook 2010 is getting too old to handle what you are giving it! (true, you email hoarder you 🙂 )
- You need to upgrade to Outlook 2013
Of course, there can be a list just as long of things causing Outlook 2010 to be slow, add-ins, 3rd party apps, who knows. I know though when I get in a computer I know what to look for right away. This is why hiring an Outlook Support tech to help is the best idea.
