Hi guys,

Basically the problem is my Outlook 2007 is fine apart from after about loading it three times the following happens -

Is there any way to fix this? I keep on having to end processes and then close Outlook and re-start it and it's very annoying. I have also repaired Outlook and it did help but it has started happening again.

I really want to update to Outlook 2010, is it worth it and will all my e-mails, contacts etc. remain? Let me know your opinion and help.


Thank you! :)

I would personally switch to the Windows Live Essentials Mail application.

Also moving to Outlook 2010 should migrate everything since Microsoft is good at that stuff.

Thank you. Is it worth updating to Outlook 2010 and using Windows Live Essentials Mail, would all my old e-mails and calendar and contacts from Hotmail port over with it?

Are there any benefits to using outlook at home instead of the web based hotmail?

I like Microsoft Outlooks interface more than the hotmail site to be honest. It probably also has ton more features and just does the job better imo.

Yeah go for it.

Yeah go for it.

Is it worth it? Like is it a lot better than 2007 and will all my files and contacts remain and e-mails. Also, do you know what is wrong with Outlook 2007 on my PC?

Yes everything will transfer and it's far more stable than 2010... think of 2007 as the Vista equivalent of Office.

Yeah sure or you can wait for the next version of Office to come out but 2010 is better than 2007. Also, I don't know how to solve your current problem.

Just bought it and seems good so far. I think I've ****** up my .PST file because emails from a different account are popping into one account. Thank you!
