I downloaded IE7 last week and now am having problems with outlook express..
When I download mail and then go to open the first one I get a double arrow
on the taskbar in the right corner and their is a huge delay before the email
opens fully this happens every time new mail is downloaded.. someone
suggested that I take the check mark out of send at startup and when I open
OE to go to straight to my inbox.. I have done that and it does not fix the
problem .. could you help me please I have posted on the general site too..
thank you giz ..

See replies to your original thread. (I crossposted my last reply to it to
this newsgroup, too.)

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

- WinXP SP2 only: Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown
your machine if Automatic Compacting is taking place.

- WinXP SP2 only: If your machine is fully up-to-date at Windows Update,
installing the following patch (KB918766) will help to avoid such data loss
in the futu
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...2-98af2256ccc3

This patch will be included in the next Cumulative Update for Outlook
Express/WinXP SP2.

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
