SecurityManager.ConnectTo() performance
Performance varies a lot on different workstations.

Hi.

Could you please help us with SecurityManager performance. Our customers complain that it became too slow recently, which is very strange, because code is very old and hasn't been changed for many years.

We use the code below to disable security messages from Outlook and open new email window. SecurityManager version is 9.0.3400.

The call of SecurityManager.ConnectTo() is always between 12-14 seconds. Is there any way to speed it up? Or is it something in recent Windows updates? We have tested it on Windows 10 and Windows Server 2012 (both with all upgrades)

Thank you :)

ApplicationType = System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Outlook.Application")

OutlookApplication = Activator.CreateInstance(ApplicationType)

Try
SecurityManager = New AddinExpress.Outlook.SecurityManager
SecurityManager.ConnectTo(OutlookApplication)
SecurityManager.DisableOOMWarnings = True
Catch ex As Exception
secManException = ex.ToString
End Try

Hello Sergey,

Try to pass an Outlook.Explorer to the SecurityManager.ConnectTo() method. Does it work any better?

Hi Andrei!
Unfortunately it is not. The results are the same. Only if Outlook is running, the code works fast.

Hello Sergey,

Is it possible that in the modified code the delay occurs when calling GetExplorer(), not on the SecurityManager.ConnectTo() method call? If so, try to call GetExplorer on the Outbox.

Hi Andrei,

Seems you are right :( When I initialize OutlookExplorer before passing it to the method, it works fast, but OutlookExplorer initialization is slow. I think I can't do nothing with it...
Thank you for your time!

Try to get the Explorer on a folder with a minimum of items.
