I have taken mail washer out of the loop,
I have stopped all rules and alerts.

I have rebooted and started outlook.

the program is downloading emails. somewhat slow. but I attribute that to
the volume and size of email.

so it seems we may have some rule conflicts that are causing the issues. at
this point I can use mail washer to scrub the junk and spam emails.

I am not entirely certain that this resolved the issue. but will monitor it
for a few days and see how it goes.

I have removed the anti virus software and tried the detect and repair

at first when I removed the anti virus I thought that I had resolved
the issue. but not just momentarily fixed then it hung up again.

I have made sure all service packs for office are installed.

any similar programs to outlook at there with same function and use.
this is killing me.

Take Mailwasher out of the picture while you try to diagnose the problem.
It adds unnecessary complexity to the issue.
