Best regards,

It's not so much a slowness once Outlook is up and running - it's too slow on the load in my opinion. I click the icon, wait 15-20 seconds to get the Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP) login dialog (even if it's set to try HTTP first), then type in my credentials and wait another 15-20 seconds to log in. Updating the mailbox takes around a minute afterward. I understand these things take time, but if I want to open Outlook and just view something already cached on my computer, I should be able to click the icon, hit Escape on the credentials dialog, and be browsing my folders in 10 seconds - tops!
