Outlook Out of Memory to Open Large Folder
-
Seeing as how it IS a 64 installation and is not using more than a couple of gigs of ram as stated in your title post, I'd suggest it's a corrupt profile.
Is this connected to IMAP or Exchange? If so, why not spin up a new profile and let the mail sync and see what happens?
The only issues that we ever run into with Outlook are fixed with a new profile which, thankfully, is a quick process -- unless you're using POP3 (kill me now!)

Connected to Exchange. It is O365.

It would be like expecting a Linux end user to do bash and work on the command line, doesn't seem to be different in my eyes.
I'd say even worse. BASH commands are trivial compared to Regedit. Regedit is difficult to explain, takes many steps, and is not repeatable.
BASH commands can be copy/paste.
And even still, expecting Linux end users to open a shell is ridiculous.
you can edit the registry from a single command line

I tend to agree - this sounds like corruption somewhere, could be the OST, a PST, the user's profile, etc.

The user has 2 ost files:
And using cached Exchange Mode
She has around 43 user mailboxes as well, thinking this could be whats causing the issues.
-
@romo : What do you mean "43 user mailboxes"? Do you mean that she has delegate access for 43 other mailboxes??
-
@manxam Yes

That's easily possible.
-
@romo : I'm not saying that this is the problem but I suspect it definitely doesn't help. I do have to ask WHY in the world someone would need delegate access to 43 mailboxes?
Have you tried recreating the profile yet?
I should also state that Outlook really doesn't like OST files of that size. Is that really JUST 1 year of email (as per your sync settings) or was that setting changed well past the 1 year mark?
-
@manxam Apparently, she doesn't need all of them so we are going to start removing them. For the moment, I disabled the shared mailboxes to be available offline and she says everything has been working better.
