freezes

[A.R.]

My outlook freezes all of the time. It is usually when I am trying to open
emails. I have my email from my AOL address coming to outlook. It seemed to
work fine for the first few days and has progressivly gotten worse. Now it
freezes almost every time I try to use it to get my emails. What can I do to
stop this problem?
