y my outlook like so farkin slow huh.
loading bar always showing 1%, 2%??
Try closing and opening Outlook again. Making sure it really closes because Outlook usually hangs and it creates another instances like itself which you won't see on the screen. Maybe you try restarting your computer it might work.
1.Recreate the .ost file again or
2. Recreate the the profile again (Go to Control panel, mail)
hope can help you
Cheers
