Outlook performance can be influenced by various factors, including hardware specifications, network conditions, software configurations, and the size and complexity of the mailbox, including the use of the Online Archive service. While the Online Archive service allows users to store older emails in a separate mailbox to improve performance, it is possible that certain configurations or network issues could lead to performance issues or hangs. To address Outlook performance concerns, it is recommended to ensure that your hardware meets the minimum requirements for running Outlook and that your network connectivity is stable. Additionally, regularly updating Outlook and other relevant software can help ensure optimal performance, as software updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements.
Regarding specific regions reporting Outlook performance issues or hangs, it's difficult to provide an accurate assessment without access to up-to-date data. However, it's worth noting that Outlook performance can vary based on factors such as network infrastructure, regional server availability, and internet service quality. If you are experiencing persistent performance issues with Outlook, it may be beneficial to reach out to Microsoft support or consult with IT professionals who specialize in managing Outlook deployments within your specific region.

Thanks. We have been working with MS support for a couple of months. The latency to the MS front door is low in the Asia office being tested but Outlook reports high latency to the backend Online Archive mailbox in Europe. Users report Outlook hangs and the UI going black and unresponsive for periods. This is the same on Vanilla Windows and Outlook installs. What would be useful would be guidance on the recommended response time limits for Online Archive mailboxes when using the Outlook Application for Windows.
