How much ram should your outlook be using?

Is this right? Sounds like an awful lot.

I use outlook reasonably heavily--it's running all day, with 3 email accounts POP3 / IMAP + calendar feature--but my peak usage was 29mb (6mb currently). This is OL2003 with all patches.

What version are you running?

Any idea how big your PST files are? I seem to recall Outlook 2003 using around 60 megs of RAM on my system, whenever I was using it. Of course, I had gigs of mail in my PSTs, and something like 16 accounts.

currently:
23mb for Outlook2k3
22mb for Word2k3 (editor)

essentially 45mb to keep email up.. if I only had 256 or 512 I might be concerned but w/ a gig of ram I never notice it.
