Why does my outlook express take about a minute to get up
and running. Also sometimes I cannot delete the
messages in the inbox.......The inbox counter decreases
after trying to delete the message but the message stays
on the screen, this is an intermittant problem but vthe
slow boot up occurs everytime I activate Outlook
express. Its driving me mad. Help anyone? I have
Norton Anti-Virus 2003 and Outlook Express 6. Disabling
Norton doesnt fix the problem although this only started
after Norton 2003 was installed.

Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose. Disable Background Compacting and
frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.
