Microsoft recently released a patch for Outlook 2007 that
addresses problems with private items displaying following a
search. It also fixes performance issues that occur for users
with large .pst file or .ost files.
Along with private items remaining private when found during a
search, anyone who installs this update should notice improved
performance when Outlook is reading or writing data, but at this
time, it's not on Microsoft Update for automatic installation,
so you'll need to go find it if you want it installed. If you're
using Business Contact Manager, you'll need the BCM patch.
Description of the update for Outlook 2007: April 13, 2007

You may experience performance problems when you are working
with items in a large .pst file or in a large .ost file in
Outlook 2007

If you have explored Exchange 2007 deployment or administration
at all, you will have noticed many distinct differences from its
predecessors. One of the more fundamental changes going from
Exchange Server 2000/2003 to 2007 is the segregation of
functionality into separate 'server roles'. The components of
Exchange communication have been broken down to five distinct
roles:

Q: I use Outlook 2007 and don't need to set a location in most
of the meeting requests I create. How do make Outlook stop
telling me I left the field blank?
A: Unfortunately, Outlook doesn't like it if you leave the
location field empty and there is no way to disable the warning
message, other than by typing in a location. Maybe SP1 will
correct this.
Q: I misspelled a word when I typed in a location. How I delete
it from the dropdown?
A: It's in an MRU list in the windows registry. Look for it at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\xx.0\Outlook\Preferences\LocationMRU,
replacing xx with your version of Outlook. The LocationMRU key
is not editable; you'll need to delete it and start over with a
clean location field.
Q: How do I add locations so users just need to select the right
one?
A: There is no way to easily add locations to a form or to share
them with other users. While you could send meeting requests to
populate the most recently used list then export the registry,
importing it will replace existing locations. The change may be
short-lived since LocationMRU holds only 10 locations and as
users enter new locations, the older ones will drop off.
