That may be a useful observation, but what solution in particular are you
suggesting? Uninstalling the security program and running without it? Also,
why aren't thousands of computer users having these problems? Thanks.

With NAV's Email Protection still disabled but NAV still running:

One or more of your current Identity may have been damaged by NAV,
especially if one of them is the default Main Identity. Try one or more of
your accounts in a new Named Identity (File Identities Add new
identity). Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old
identity, (2) import messages from the old identity into the new one, and
then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- 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 [not available 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 shut down your machine while Windows is
automatically compacting your message store.

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

Norton and McAfee place hooks deep into the operating system, slowing down
everything the computer does and often causing real problems with other
programs, not just mail programs. I used the Norton Utilities for years,
but Peter Norton sold them to Symantec sometime after Win95 came out. The
next version that came out caused me problems and I uninstalled it. I kept
hearing about these problems and never went back. I already did not like
McAfee.

I can honestly say that the vast majority of the machines I've encountered
that have "Odd" problems like running slow, locking up or randomly crashing
can be improved if not completely fixed by removing Norton. This applies to
the retail versions, the Corporate Editions seem much better. Corporate
users of course are not so influenced by hype and they certainly don't want
"Bloat". Symantec it seems are only interested in selling "Claims of
functionality" rather than functionality itself.

The use of any "Proxy" type of software with OE seems problematic except I
have to say that I've never had a problem with the mail filter "PopFile".
Why that is so is anybody's guess, and PopFile would not suit everybody, but
it seems odd that if one system can work effectively others can't PopFile
has been developed on sourceforge and the author has always been responsive
to feedback, which I am sure makes a difference.

It makes all the difference in the world when a developer is involved with
clients, and not just mass producing untested software that results in loss
of functionality and data.

And I didn't just mean Vista. G

I upgraded my system to 640MB of RAM from 256 and this problem is back in
spades. It occurs faster(30 min. or so) now and seems to occur most often
after I switch accounts. I am getting hangs on the first IE7 tab too. I
am
giving my computer the three fingered salute quite often to kill OE6 and
IE7
and then restart them. A friend said he had to switch to Firefox and
Thunderbird to use his computer. I tested the new RAM with Dell Bios
Diagnostics and MemTest.

My Outlook Express 6 emails have been going blank after Outlook has been
running a few hours. I click on different inbox messages and they are all
blank. I close Outlook and restart it and everything is back to normal.
No
error message is given by Outlook.

Has anyone encountered this and been able to solve it? I have 2 Outlook
accounts and automatic Windows XP Home updates.
