For some reason newsgroups load very slow in Outlook. The
first time after starting my computer, it sometimes takes
about 3 minutes to actually start downloading the
newsgroups after hitting the synchronize button. Is thier
a fix for this?

Thanks,

First of all, you're actually looking at the newsgroups using Outlook
Express in a "news only" mode -- Outlook doesn't have newsreading
capabilites built in, so by default it uses OE. Secondly, it could be the
news server you're connecting to -- if it's the one provided by your ISP,
try connecting to msnews.microsoft.com and see if that goes any faster.

I am connecting through msnews.microsoft.com, it just seems like it takes
about 3 minutes before it even starts to do any downloading. It's almost
like it locks up for a few minutes.
