Hi all,
Brendon’s suggestions are first rate. For those who still have Outlook issues though, I wanted to point out that MS offers a free utility for fixing Outlook stability issues (which Juan Hernandez brought to my attention). I ran it myself and found it fairly easy to do, and it did seem to improve things for me. According to Juan’s email, it greatly improved things for him. It’s combined with a kb article which gives you instructions for several things to try; below is an excerpt from Juan’s email telling you how to start: “I Ran Microsoft’s Outlook Stability diagnostic tool. I found this article, for those of you having issues with Outlook you might want to check this out. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2934538/en-us I did step 1, and my outlook is running better than ever. I also disabled most of the addins, stuff I never use, which has made my outlook much more snappy.“ One thing I found however, is that when you run the utility it will give you links as you go to KB articles; these often seemed to link to the incorrect article for me. At the end however, it also gives you a report of everything it found and suggests you may want to fix, and the links in the report were correct.

Make sure when you go into Windows updates, you choose change settings and make sure that the checkbox Give me updates for Microsoft products and check for new optional Microsoft software when I update Windows is checked. Then install all Office updates. See if that resolves the issue. Thank you. Brendon Donohue.

Using the ribbon and choosing all accounts does result in loss of speech.
