| 29222 | 2001-12-30 21:28:00 | After start-up of Outlook the computer is locked for more than 1 minute (unable to switch to another task). I'm runnig a 1.2 Mhz AMD Athlon with 256 G storage. The harddisk led shows little activity during this time-out period. Any idea on how to solve or further diagnostic the problem? |

| 29224 | 2001-12-30 23:24:00 | No, because I'm using a broadband , so the connection to the ISP is always open. It happens after starting Outlook and after a certain period of inactivity with an active outlook, then the moment I click on a unread message everything hangs for certain time. |

I am running an old pentium 450 with 256 meg of ram, and a cable modem | Guest (0) | ||
| 29226 | 2001-12-31 12:50:00 | Thanks Chris, It seems your answer did solve the problem , I had about 1000 mails in the inbox. After an export for archiving purpose the inbox is reduced to only a few mails. I wish you all a happy New-Year. |
