Lag Time in CRM 2013 Outlook Plugin - "The Spinner"

Question
-
Hello,
We're on CRM 2013 on-premise. Our users are using CRM 2013 Outlook plugin. Outlook is Office Professional Plus 2013 version.
About half of our users are experiencing huge lag time in the plugin. When trying to view a tracked email, on the bottom of the email shows which record in CRM the email is tied to. However it takes forever for that record to show up on the bottom of the email. We keep getting the spinning image over and over again while it tries to retrieve info from CRM (hence we call it "The Spinner"). After waiting for extended period of time, it just keeps spinning.
I can't find any patterns on how the spinner shows up. Sometimes users try to view the set regarding to, gets the spinner. Then restarted Outlook, and the emails can be viewed fine. Then looking into another email they would get the spinner, while other emails are fine.
We tried reinstalling the CRM plugin but still no luck. A user even got a brand new laptop with newly installed Office and CRM plugin. Still gets the spinner.
These users might have lots of tracked email records in the Outlook. But some of them that do are not affected by this issue. So far I don't find any trace error messages that could be related to this.
Any suggestion on how to start troubleshooting this issue?
Thanks,

Hi triangular,
we have noticed this if local outlook datafile was over 1GB size.
We then moved to archive and pulled down the datafile after deleting it fresh from exchange server.
Dont know your emailserver...gruss Daniel Ovadia MBSS - Microsoft Dynamics CRM MCNPS

Hi Daniel,
Turned out it's not possible to archive the Outlook datafile. Most of our users have 20 GB datafile and they cannot be created new datafile because they still need the history of the emails, etc.
We tried to do the Outlook plugin trace. So far we are not getting back any error messages. However on the Verbose level, these are the messages that we get back. Although I'm not seeing anything that could be related to our problem... I do see some 'timeout' printed somewhere but it does not look like a red flag here.
Any suggestion? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi triangular,
the limitation datafile of outlook itself is 20GB. In your case you could try after backup the registrykey "TagDisabled" for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSCRMClient dword value 1 after restart see if the spinner is present. Otherwise the limit 5GB is recommened overall for crm datafile in outlook client. You resize better, you could start online archives also.
