Improving Performance

Here are some tips for improving system performance:

If the R/3 system is slow, you can choose the option Slow Link when starting MAPI in Online mode. The following then happens: If you have not entered a command in the MAPI client for five minutes, MAPI logs off from the R/3 system. After the time period that you have entered in the field inbox refresh interval, it logs on to the R/3 system again, synchronizes changes and reads the inbox again. This cycle is repeated the next time you don't enter a command for five minutes.

Reduce the number of messages in your inbox by moving messages to your private folders.
Reduce the number of messages in each private folder by using subfolders to further categorize messages.
Remove obsolete entries from the SAP address book.
Avoid substring searches of the form *xxx or *xxx*, where the search string begins with *. The searches may be successful, but be ready to wait!
