View Full Version : Do we need poutlook

In the StartUp folder is a file called poutlook (.lnk)
This file is loaded in the memory on startup, so it's taking up memory space.
My Question is, do we need it?

Personally I don't use my HTC Universal for emailing. So why not delete the file.
I tested some features:
- I can still use my Calendar.
- I can still use my Contacts
- I can still send and receive SMS Messages.

What is a good Task Manager Tool to monitor?

How big is it in your device? Is the space that essential? I find that once you delete these things, suddenly you may face another problem so its better to leave it alone.

What I did is cut and paste the copy of it in your SD card, just in case you need it in the future. I find it doesn't do anything on mine, so I took it off my Universal. It is not a matter of space but minimizing the files running in the background to make your Universal run faster.

Well you might need it if you do MMS or SMS, other e-mail applications are sort of addons that use the databese. (well that is what I think anyway)

I did copy it to my SD card and saved it there.

I'm also fully capable of sending and receiving SMS Messages, so no problem there.
If someone finds a problem, please let us know.

You don't need it because it is just an application to manage your mms, sms, emails, your calendar and your contacts and you can find plenty of third party equivalent programs on the internet. The real mail application is tmail, and this one you definitely need.

If you need a Task Manager, just check here you might find it interesting...
