Are we talking about Outlook Classic here?
What do you consider a large mailbox and folders in GB and number of items within the folders having the issue?
Which mail account type are you using? Exchange Online, Exchange On-premises, Outlook.com, IMAP, POP3, other?
If you are using an Exchange account, how do you have your Cache Mode settings configured?
File-> Account Settings-> Account Settings...
When you open Windows Task Manager, do you see a high CPU or Disk usage for the Microsoft Outlook process?
