Reduced Performance
My PC has recently become very slow when I click "Message, Block Sender" to
stop unwanted e-mails, and when I click "File, Switch Identity" to go to a different e-mail account. Everything else seems to work fine, and when I run Norton SystemWorks nothing shows up as a problem. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Phil |

Norton considerably slows down machines.
Email scanning should definitely be disabled. You may have to reset your accounts after disabling it. see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3 steve "Phil" wrote in message ...

Block Sender is pretty worthless for dealing with spam. Most spam has
fake sender and they are constantly changing. If you have hundreds or thousands of entries in the Block Sender list, it would be best to wipe that out and take a different approach. - http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/messagerules.htm To quickly wipe out the block sender list you would need to edit the registry (with OE closed). The key you need to delete would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{unique identity key}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Block Senders -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Phil" wrote in message ...
