Outlook 2016 64bit keeps crashing (because of memory?)

[wist]

Hi,

hopefully someone can give me a fresh piece of advise. I have 64bit Outlook 2016 on Lenovo ThinkPad T450 with 8gb DDR3 RAM which should handle Outlook just fine.

But this is not the case and everytime I open more programs such as Chrome or Excel and then try to do something in Outlook like check a folder or deselect read emails it either crashes or gives me a screen saying there's not enough memory.

A lot of users have this issue based on Google search but none of the solutions helped me. I tried to change couple of registries or Disable Graphic acceleration but no luck.

If you need additional info please ask.

Thanks

sorry for the late reply. thanks for the input but this option is not available in Outlook or at least I don't see it and in Excel this was already unchecked.

some of the comments suggested that there is a tool to analyze potetial issues Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT),, which I used and all Critical findings pointed out that I have 1588 folders in my Outlook Data File and maximal number for optimal performance is 500. I have a lot of shared mailboxes so I removed a bunch and so far so good.


Hopefully this did the trick as I'm not getting any crashes or memory warning so far


Thanks
