Outlook 2003 "Application Hanging"

[Mike S.]

I am having difficulties with "Application Hanging" in Outlook 2003, when I
Send/Recieve to an account on an IMAP e-mail server, in Windows XP Pro. I'm
using MacAfee Antivirus 8.5, and have unblocked several of the options in the
Access Scanner, yet the Outlook Application will still lock up. The Microsoft
Knowledge Base articles don't give any solution to this problem. Does anyone
have any ideas about how to configure Outlook to stop this problem.

Hi, Mike,

What happens if you completely disable McAfee as a test? Does it lock up
every time? Does it make a difference if you use POP instead of IMAP?

Thanks Susan. I am a little leary to try for fear of becoming infected. I
will give it a try. This morning (Mon), It sent/recieved fine. We are a LAN
on the state network and I'm wondering if the problem is not a network
related problem, as all of the staff/students are trying to check their
e-mail and the traffice is just to much for the server. Will let you know.
Thanks.
