Outlook 2010 keeps locking up and freezing - large mailboxes

I have an attorney customer who has 3 large Outlook pst's as follows:
main mailbox - 1.6GB
Archive mailbox - 14GB
another mailbox - 6GB
He keeps everything in the Inbox with thousands of items deep.In an ideal world he would like to keep all mailboxes open and accessible but when they are all open Outlook hangs constantly. I have ran scanpst on all the mailboxes and disabled all unneccessary addins but the issue persists.
He would be willing to pay for a solution if one is out there. Can you guys suggest anything where he can have access to all his email at once without Outlook freezing up?
His outlook is setup with 1 pop email account and he only accesses email on this one computer. I have tried using Xobni as well. Didn't help.

Hi Tim ..
Reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Then restart your Mac. Try Safari.
If it crashes again, uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Why does Outlook 2010 become non-responsive and freeze up when printing to Acrobat XI? What is the fix / or work around?

I just upgraded from Acrobat Reader X to Acrobat Standard XI. Now when I attempt to print e-mails from Outlook 2010, Outlook crashes and becomes "not responding". I have removed all Adobe software from my machine. Run a repair on Outlook 2010. Reloaded Acrobat XI, and still the MS application hangs up. I have spent WAY TOO MANY hours screwing around with this. I work at a multi-national company....technical... blah, blah, blah,... $$$, time..., infrastructure...., blah, blah, blah. I have read some about this problem in the forums already... it seems this problem has been in the light.
Stop holding up the show.... society has enough problems. We're supposed to be the leaders!
What is the fix, or at least, what is the work around.

Not sure how to do this except to reply to myself.
The question I asked is not "answered," but for whatever reason Acrobat XI has settled down and is working normally as before. Don't have a clue why. I did not make any further changes in anything. Thanks to those who read my question and pondered.

IMAP Configured Voicemail in Outlook 2010 keeps locking up Outlook

Hi Everyone,
I was hoping for a little help on my situation. Here it is:
I have 3 users who have their voicemail set to go to their Outlook 2010 inbox that are all on different machines.
One is on a Surface Pro, running windows 8.1 and Outlook 2010
One is on a Dell PC, running Windows 7 32-bit and Outlook 2010
One is on a Dell Laptop, running Windows 7 64-bit and Outlook 2010
All of these users have reported that when the click on their inbox for their voicemails, Outlook sits and goes to not responding. We have just pushed out some windows updates recently, has anyone heard of any recent Windows updates that have broken this feature for anyone else?
Thanks everyone!
Bryan

SSL
SMTP

port 587
TLS
Use the "@me.com" part in you username.
(the smtp.mail.me.com is not responding to me)

Outlook 2010 keeps prompting for password

Hi,

Hi nprguy,
It sounds like an earlier version of the BlackBerry® Desktop Software installed on your PC may be conflicting with this installation.
I would advise uninstalling both versions of the BlackBerry Desktop Software then reinstalling the latest version.
The following KB articles should provide more information on the issue.
"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" when uninstalling BlackBerry Desktop Manager www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10220
"Error 1316" InstallShield error is encountered when uninstalling or upgrading the BlackBerry Desktop Software
www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB04272
Thanks.

Flash Player10 download page locks up and freezes can't get update.

Hello,
I have been trying for a long time to upgrade to Adobe Flash Player 10 with no success. Everytime I go to the download page it locks up and I can't click on the active x control to allow the download. I get this Dr. Watson error which says: Postmortem debugger has encountered a problem and needs to close. When I click send error report the screen freezes and then I have to do a ctrl, alt delete to get the task manager and get out of it from there. I have no idea why this keeps happening. This is the only webpage/site that does this. I am running windows xp and internet explorer 8. I can't play certain games on facebook, or view any videos on websites, or upload videos to my catster account which I am paying for etc that need the flash player10 update because I can't get the update! Any ideas???

Ok, Adobe support has looked into this issue and feels it might be an issue on some machines with DEP and are working to make sure it is no longer an issue.
In the meantime they suggest removing Adobe Download Manager from your add/remove programs and installing the software manually.
Manual install link for shockwave http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp
To download adobe Flash and Reader you need to start IE without add-on manager running to do this go to Start, Run, and put in "iexploer -extoff" without the quotes and run. Then go to adobe.com and click the usual buttons and when you get there and click install, you'll need to click the "Your download will start automatically, if it doesn't click here to download" message.

Outlook 2010 keeps prompting for credentials

Hello,
I have just about every user experiencing an issue with Outlook 2010 where Outlook keeps prompting for credentials. This has been happening ever since recent Microsoft Office updates that rolled out last week it seems. All my users still have connection
to the exchange server and can send/reply just fine. Issue occurs on both 32 bit and 64bit versions. This prompt will appear every few seconds and is becoming a nuisance for all my users.
I have attempted the following with no resolution:
- removed credentials from credentials manager
- ran Outlook in safe mode
- ran repairs on Office
- completely removed and re-added users Outlook profile (profiles are manually configured)
- made sure Office is up to date
- configured Outlook account on freshly imaged PC

Hi,
For this issue, you can first try some suggestions in this forum content:
Why does Outlook keep prompting for password
Especially try NTLM Authentication to check the result.
We have received some report about this issue since the February 10, 2015 update for Outlook 2010 (KB2956128). If you have installed this update, please note we have realized this issue and once there is any update, I'll let you know.

It's recommended to download and install

Outlook 2010 IMAP error 0x800cccdd and Timeout

Dear all, need your help,
Users in branch office reported error popped up in Outlook 2010:
Your IMAP Server closed the connection.
Clicked the detail and the following are shown:
Timeout
Protocol: IMAP
Server: xxx.xxx.xxx
Port: 143
Error Code: 0x800CCCDD
We have tried replacing user profiles, disable automatic send/receive for IMAP, run scanpst.exe to repair the PST files but none worked.
In our Exchange 2007 server (SP3 RU11), we found warnings in IMAP services:
An IMAP client has specified a literal whose value (132192474) is larger than the configured maximum of 52428800.
User: <one of the user name>
Client IP address: <branch office IP>
We are not sure if these 2 are related. Please advice.
Thanks,

Dear all,
I have retrieve the logs from one of the users that has this pop up.
At end of the IMAP log, I found the following:

I noticed that in the " + IDLE accepted, awaiting DONE command.", successful case will have a [tx] DONE, but not so for those error case.
Any idea how this could happen? I though it is Outlook to send out the DONE as it is a [tx].
Please advise.

If what you are saying, and I am reading correctly:
The machine and game was working just peachy and all of a sudden the problem manifested itself?
Did you do ANYTHING to change your system prior to this happening to possibly have an effect?
the fast that you said you have re-loaded the OS and removed and re-installed the hardware with the same result tells me that there may be some sort of hardware failure and this could get difficult to troubleshoot.
First things first, try a memory testing software like memtest86 to see if you get any errors.

Firefox 4.0 keeps locking up and is slow to load pages

I just installed 4.0 this morning. Ever since, Hotmail is extremely slow to load, it keeps locking up or not responding.
I thought this was supposed to be faster and more streamlined?
Now, when I try to go back and install 3.6.13 it is no longer available. What gives? I want my old Firefox back.

Outlook 2010 keeps crashing

Office Outlook 2010 continues to crash. I've uninstalled and re-installed the Office 2010 package and the problem persists. I running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, and Office 2010 Professional. Outlook had been workout with only an occasional hang when
I attempted to Send/Receive e-mails. This morning there was a Windows update. After the system rebooted, and the updates were being configures on reboot. the process hung at 32%. I shut the system down and restarted. All seemed fine until I had
the Outlook problem. I've backed up the Office files and exported all the data from Outlook. Uninstalled the Office 2010 Professional product, downloaded it from the Microsoft site and installed it. It applied updates and I activated the product.
While it will send and receive e-mail, it continues to crash. I do not have to be doing anything for it to crash. Previously I had uninstalled all com Add-ins and still had the problem. before un/re-installing I ran the Microsoft diagnostics program
and it found no errors. With the add-ins re-installed (after the un-re-installation the problem is the same.

Hi,
Since this issue occurs when you are sending/receiving emails, I suggest you try to repair Outlook Data File to check the result:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272227/en-us
Please also go to Event Viewer to check the Application logs:
Press Win + R, type "eventvwr", press Enter.
Although you have uninstalled and re-installed Office, have you re-created the profile? If not, please create a new profile to setup your account in Outlook:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us
If the issue persists after these steps above, we may need to perform a clean boot to determine if background programs are interfering with Outlook:
