Periodically throughout the day Outlook Express will hang
when getting emails. It may hang at the 7th email or it
may hang at the 20th. If the user goes out to the webmail
application website and deletes the corresponding email
after reading it then receives again, the rest will come
down. I just converted the user from using Netscape 4.5 to
Outlook Express 6 on XP Home. I have gone to Windows
Update and downloaded everything that was available. Also,
there are about 600 items in the Inbox and most of the
inbound mail is spam. Why does the user have to go to the
webclient and delete the suspect email before the Receive
process will complete successfully? This happens several
times a day. Thanks.
