Outlook Express problem

Very slow opening OE in WinXP Pro. Sometimes it takes 30-45 sec.

Are you running any plugin programs in Outlook, like IHATESPAM, or SPAMSOURCE?

Spike

no, i don't

Try
File > Folder > Compact All Folders

Try UNchecking "Automatically log on to Windows Messenger" under Options | Tools | General.

If that doesn't work, see if this applies to you.

If not, try this or this.

If none of these help, try this .

Thanks a lot Falcon 2000
