Have you tried rebooting the computer?
Is there an error message when OE is not responding?
Does OE open to the Inbox or to the home screen?
Is your email account pop3?
Is there more than one account?
How many messages are in the Inbox?
When was the last time that you compacted folders?

Hi
I have Outlook Express 6 and have windows xp. Everything was OK and
running
fine until a few hours ago. I tried to access my email in my Inbox and
outlook freezes up and I get a message up the top left hand side saying
"Outlook Express is not responding". My email downloads from the server
but I
just cannot read it in my Inbox. All my other folders containing email
received from yesterday and beforehand, I can access and read. Anything
received today in my Inbox I cannot. I have tried the microsoft help pages
but I cannot find anything that seems to address this problem.
Would anyone have any ideas to help? Any assistance would be appreciated
as
I am pretty computer dumb, so if you think you know how to fix the
problem,
please be kind and keep the explanations very basic.
Thanks
