I get a spinning wheel every time I try to move from one item to another in my inbox.  It may last up to 60-90 seconds.  I'm also noticing sluggish behavior on other Office programs.  Excel takes 60 seconds or more to load.  I apparently have the most recent software update.  Any suggestions? 
I'm running Mac OS 10.5.8 and Outlook for Mac 2011 14.2.3.  I just recently updated.  Now, my system is running slow.  Plus, every time I run a search in my contacts for example, it comes up with 'no results'.  How can I fix this?  Thx.  Randy
After Mountain Lion Update: I have a very annoying problem with the email editor in Outlook 2011: I start to write and after some characters, the the editor lost the focus and I have to click again into the editor, over and over again. Sometimes I have to retype whole sentences! Is this a known issue or should I try to install Outlook again?
I recieved an e-mail from drbvived@hot mail.com for a account update to be sent to this e-mail address. they want my user name, password,date of birth and country. I'm to reply or my account may be removed. They use code: ID67565434. Should I reply t this e-mail?
i want to use windows live mail again and am unable to do so.  The update for windows live essentials 2011 does not complete.  You can not remove it from computer.  It has stopped windows live mail from working as well as the other programs, although  I do not use those programs, i would be happy with just the mail program back.
I received a email asking for my name,email,and password to do a update or I wouldn't be able to use my hotmail can you verify if Microsoft sent this out or if it is junk.
I allowed the automatic update to install the most recent service pack for Office for Mac 2011.  When I opened Outlook all my settings were gone and all the emails I had saved (including "sent" emails) were gone.  How do I restore the settings and files?
I downloaded Office:Mac 2011 update 14.2.3; I had to turn off Microsoft database Daemon & Sync Services Agent from the Activity Monitor  or the update would not load. After I finished downloading the update - I restarted my  Mac. When I went to my Outlook program it was totally wiped out, no contacts, e-mails, mailboxes etc. Everything was gone. What happened. I have no idea what to do---- Please HELP ME.
