I am not very computer literate so please be patient. I am running
Windows
XP SP3, Outlook Express 6 and IE7.

My problem is that every time I try to open an email from a company
which
displays a company logo or letterhead it takes around 5 minutes to
open.
Sometimes Outlook tells me it is not responding and I get a blank white
screen. This happens even when I try to delete that email. My
internet is
also running slow and I am using Broadband.

I would appreciate it if anyone could assist me and if you could make
your
instructions simple to follow. Thanks


Try enabling the "Block images and other external content" security
option in OE. The signature probably contains a link back to an image
on the sender's file server. The e-mail client has to retrieve a copy
of it each time it renders the HTML-formatted e-mail. If their server
is slow then so, too, is the rendering of the e-mail as the e-mail
client has to wait for that external content to arrive. You should have
this security option enabled, anyway, since it eliminates spam or other
e-mail that inserts web beacons into an HTML-formatted e-mail to
determine if that e-mail was opened. Alternatively, you can configure
OE to always read e-mails in plain text format. Any HTML-formatted
e-mails which be stripped of their HTML coding and you will only see a
text version of the e-mail. Links don't work in plain-text format mode
so no external content will get yanked to show that e-mail.

If you installed MSN/Live Messenger (and do use it), disable the option
to automatically connect to the messenger service. It causes a delay to
lookup the status of anyone on your buddies list.
