I have been having a big problem with Outlook Express hanging while
reading newsgroups. When I first enter one of the newsgroups it will
download all the new headers fine but when I click on the first one it
just hangs for about 2 minutes with the little hourglass spinning and
then finally the message with appear and I can then go on to read the
messages with no problem. If I leave that newsgroup and go to another one
the same thing happens, downloads headers fine but click on the first
message and hang for a couple of minutes.

Also, when I click on the newsgroup and choose "catch up" or "mark all
read" to clean up it will hang for a very long time, sometimes as long as
10 minutes and while doing so I can't do anything in outlook, can't shut
down, disconnect or switch folders.

Can anyone help me out with why this is happening? I do regular
maintenance, compacting and cleaning out but this keeps happening. One
time I resolved the issue by removing the news account and then setting
it up again to start fresh but I'd really rather not have to do this all
the time for obvious reasons.

thanks, chrissy
