Lag time going from folder to folder
I just got a new PC - Dell 310 and it seems like when I switch between
folders - it takes longer than my old PC. Any ideas? I thought with a faster processor and more RAM it would be faster. I called Dell and they had no ideas...... Thanks in advance.

Lag time going from folder to folder
General OE Caveats:
- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local folders created for this purpose. - Empty Deleted Items folder daily. - Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm. - Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only). - Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org michgal2k wrote: I just got a new PC - Dell 310 and it seems like when I switch between folders - it takes longer than my old PC.

Lag time going from folder to folder
I am using McAfee (normally use Norton)-any idea where I can disable email
scanning? Nothing is jumping out at me saying it does that. I am not archiving folders - I am using Windows XP Media Center - Would XP Pro be better?

Lag time going from folder to folder
I neglected to mention I am using windows XP media edition. I checked my
folders.dbx file & it's 73kb. Could that astill be the culprit? Also when looking at those files, I noticed so other .dbx folders that mus have archived at one time or soemthing but I am no longer using them now. Can I delete those files? I transfer mail from my old PC to my new one. Please let me know your thoughts.

I doubt it. Mine is 15,554 KB.
Did you look at Tom's site (the link I gave you)? Move everything out of the default folders to user created folders and then click File | Folder | Compact All. Don't let folders get over 100 MB. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE "Anyone who prefers security over freedom deserves neither."

Click on the red M by the clock to open the program. Click on VirusScan and
look around there. I don't remember the exact name on the Icon you need to click, but it's in that area. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "michgal2k" wrote in message ...
