It doesn’t erase any files, rules or accounts, so it’s a quick and safe procedure – one that you can perform even if not on an Admin account (note though, that it’s quite slow, so be sure you won’t have need of Outlook for about an hour). This basically scans for and repairs any issues that may have arisen since you first installed it. If you’ve installed the latest updates and Outlook is still slow then you can just perform a Detect & Repair procedure. So, if you’re on Outlook 2003 or 2007 just go to the Help menu, then click on Check for Updates and follow the steps displayed if you’re on 2010 you can achieve the same thing with the Windows Update entry in your Control Panel.

We all know that working with Outlook each day can become frustrating quite quickly.
