Thanks Lyle Setting an Index on the 'Email ID' field on the Email Error Logs form was the solution.
I do the same thing every month deleting 20k-30k items from the messages form. I should probably setup an archive. I wonder if ARS 7.5 has the fix for when you delete the message it deletes its associated error log entry. Thanks again all, for the suggestions.

The problem isn?t the number of errors associated with any given message, it?s the number of total errors in the error log form combined with the fact that 1) BMC didn?t add any indexes to the form (that?s an issue in several places), and 2) the form does not get cleaned up as e-mails get deleted (that is, BMC didn?t include workflow to delete error logs as the corresponding e-mail get deleted). The issue is that there is a table on the email messages form that references the error logs form, and when you view a message, it refreshes the table. Since the error logs form doesn?t have an index on it, it does a table scan in the database every time. To fix it, do at least the following: Add an index on the field ?Email ID? on the AR System Email Error Logs forms. That will significantly speed up viewing e-mails regardless of how many records are in the error logs form. Next, you can add a filter to AR System Email Messages that runs on Delete and performs a Run Process action with the following text: Application-Query-Delete-Entry "AR System Email Error Logs" '18023' = "$Email ID$" This will remove errors from the error log as e-mails get deleted from the email messages form. That will keep your error logs from continuously growing out of control (assuming that you don?t keep all e-mails in your email messages form). Lastly, I would clean out all the current entries in the error logs form, unless you need them for some reason. If you really want to be clever, you can only clean out entries that don?t still have a corresponding e-mail in the e-mail messages form, but you?d probably have to either write program or write some workflow to determine if a given error entry has a corresponding e-mail. You don?t need to worry about deleting large amounts of data in the user tool. I?ve routinely deleted 5-20K records at a time in the User tools without causing any issues for other users on the system. It does take a long time, though. Doing all three of those things will keep viewing e-mails fast and keep your error logs cleaned up with only relevant data (it?s no longer relevant if the corresponding e-mail is no longer there).
