emails sending slow or not at all

[Kathy]

Hi,

I have been using Outlook 2003 for years now with the same email address and
server. I haven't changed anything with my system or my Outlook settings.

However, a couple days ago when I que emails up to send they either:
- don't send
- take up to 10 minutes to send

I called the company I have my server through (ATT) and they suggested I try
sending from ATT online to see if that was slow. I have done that and emails
send quickly and normally. So, it appears it is Outlook that has troubles.

I am able to receive emails just fine - it is just hte sending that is a
problem.

I use Norton, Spysweeper, Ad-Aware, HijackThis and Pop-up Stopper.

Any ideas of what to do to troubleshoot and fix this problem?

Thanks!
Kathy
