Improve Performance of Outlook Edition 3.X

We have been using Office 2007 for over a year including Outlook 2007. The performance of the Outlook Edition tool is horrible. Maybe it is because we are lowly professional users.

Examples: 1. To sync... you have to plan to not use outlook for at least 5-10 minutes as it buries your computer.

2. Data files are often left open by SF causing a longer timeframe to reopen Outlook.

3. Adding an email when sent sometimes hangs and errors out.

4. Adding multiple emails to SF.com at a time is not an option... this causes a need to add one at a time hurting productivity.

I know Salesforce is competing with Microsoft, but the quality of the software on the desktop is killing the value of the platform.

TimMadigan Jan 16	It's not just a function of Outlook 2007 nor professional edition - we're Enterprise users and still have the same issues and/or requests. The sync relates to it's search of your company's exchange server for marked as sync'd events. Not sure how SFDC could fix that problem or if they have a solution.
gbrown Feb 2	We recently deployed the Outlook Connect feature and the sales reps loved it! The biggest complaint is that it cannot log an e-mail that was sent to multiple contacts of the same account or different accounts. The productive application become unproductive when they need to cycle back and click the e-mail for each individual contact.
