Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 for Microsoft Outlook

Since I need to work with Dynamics CRM quite a lot lately I decided to give Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 for Microsoft Outlook a spin. This is basically an addin which allows you to work with Dynamics CRM directly from within Outlook. Allthough I like the functionality a lot I’m under the impression that it slows down Outlook quite a lot and it definitely is a memory hog. I also noticed that when your CRM server has gone down, your CRM addin can completely lockup Outlook.

Anyone care to share tips and tricks about how to overcome these annoyances?

Try SalesOutlook CRM instead. It uses Outlook so if the server is down it does not matter. http://www.salesoutlook.com. Microsoft CRM can be over kill.

I forgot to mention, SalesOutlook can also use Sharepoint for data lists and see them in the Outlook client.
