Does anyone know why my OE6 is taking a minute to startup? I don't have a
bunch of messgaes in my folders, and I am not receiving a large amount on
signon, so that wouldn't be the problem. If anyone has any answers or
anything I can do to fix this, please let me know.. Thanks a bunch!

Several possible causes:

Go to My Computer | Dial Up Networking and right click your connectoid. Choose Properties | Server types and make sure that Log onto network is NOT checked. NetBEUI and IPX/SPX should also not be checked.

Make sure that your anti-virus is set to check program files, not all files.

Create new folders to organize your mail and move everything out of the Inbox. Then compact it with File | Folder | Compact while in the Inbox.

For users on WinXP, when they remove windows messenger or just disable it from starting up automatically they experience a great slow down when launching Outlook express. Users who experience such a slow down will find a error in the system error log saying The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. The solution this problem is quite simple. Just Open up Regedit and search for the string {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} and modify the keys InProc32 (or InProcServer32) and LocalServer32 default key to a empty string. After a reboot, Outlook Express will start up as quickly as possible. See:

If none of those fix the problem, rename pstores.exe, psbase.dll, pstorec.dll and pstorerc.dll, then extract new copies from the CAB files. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=251787 This KB article includes instructions for repairing the Protected Storage Service under Win2K and WinXP:

Another thing that has been reported to help is to click Tools | Internet Options in Internet Explorer. Go to the Advanced tab and scroll down. Make sure that Use SSL 2.0 and Use SSL 3.0 are checked.

Move everything out of the Inbox to user created folders and then compact the Inbox while Working Offline.

Empty the Temporary Internet Files, including offline content.
