Why is it taking 10 seconds to delete each mail from my Outlook 2007 archive
folder? I may have over 500 to delete but need to examine each one before
deleting. Even after it is displayed in the preview window it takes 10
seconds to delete before I can go on to the next one. These do not have
any attachments.

regards,

Beemer

Diane,

Stored locally. I am suspecting that Windows Desktop Search may be the
contributing to the delay. Interesting though as when I tried Shift Delete
it was much faster. Does using Shift delete eliminate the recycle bin?

yes, shift+del skips the deleted items folder. Is the deleted folder empty?
if it has a large # of items that could cause it to be slow.
