Three things happened to me this weekend that I believe
made my OUtlook Express run much more slowly, if at all:
1) I upgraded to Outlook Express 6; 2) I "enabled" an
Internet Firewall from Microsoft's web site; 2) I also
downloaded more protection from a website called
eAnthology.com (which actually was recommended to me by a
Dell service tech).

WOuld these extra security measures -- plus the newly
upgraded Outlook express -- have anything to do with the
new slowness of Outlook?

My guess is that you're getting hammered by eAnthology. Like you, I
downloaded the program last week to backup Norton. Terrible mistake!
System didn't bog down, but eAnthology hijacked my add/remove exe
file. It took me hours of tinkering around to finally delete.
Unfortunately, I don't recall how I purged the program, but something
I did eventually worked. There maybe a posted fix on some newsgroup
now, but I didn't find anything last week when I going crazy trying to
delete the program. Good luck! - Jim P.
