You can go to Control Panel, Speech Recognition and then click on Advanced Speech Options. It will also prevent your system from scanning your emails, etc. If you don’t use this, disable it so that it doesn’t load every time Outlook starts. Outlook comes bundled with the Speech and Handwriting Recognition features that are a part of Windows. Another window will popup and you can uncheck the items you don’t want. To actually disable an add-in, you have to select COM Add-ins in the combo box at the bottom and click Go. If you don’t use them, get rid of them! They have to be loaded into memory when Outlook is started and they make the program slower also.
Even Microsoft adds a bunch of stuff that I normally disable like Skype, OneNote, SharePoint, etc. A lot of programs love to install add-ons to Outlook automatically, such as Adobe, EverNote, Wunderlist, etc. Make sure you are only using essential add-ins for Outlook. If you don’t want to do that, at least move all older emails to another folder so that Outlook does not have to load thousands of emails every time it comes to the Inbox, thus causing higher memory usage. That’s why it’s a good idea to turn on AutoArchive because it will take care of it automatically without any intervention.
It’s also worth noting that you have to do this for each mailbox you have setup in Outlook. Also, make sure to empty out the deleted items folder afterwards as that still takes up space. I would check the mailbox size and if it’s anything over 500 MB, you should turn on AutoArchive or delete any emails that are taking up a large amount of space. You’ll see several options as shown below. Click on File and then click on Tools and then Mailbox Cleanup.
