Outlook Express takes 2 min to load

[Sonja]

I connect to the net and click on Outlook Express, it
takes almost 2 minutes to come up completely. Then I have
to click send/receive mail, cancel, and send/recieve
again to get my mail to come up (I only have to do this
if Outlook Express comes up before I am completely
connected to the internet.

This all happened around the time I got rid of MSN
Messenger because of their excessive pop-ups. This has
been happening for about 6 months, I have searched here
and there for answers with no luck.

I tried uninstalling Internet Explorer since Outlook
Express is a componant of I.E. and re-installing it. I am
using Win XP and currently have I.E.6.

Any help is much appreciated!

You CAN'T uninstall IE in XP. All you did was remove and re-instate the
program icons.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number. Good luck!
