Good morning,

I'm having a problem with Outlook Express 6 on a brand new PC (Intel
dual-core, 2GB RAM, etc). It is connecting to a POP3 mail server via the
internet. When sending e-mails to individual recipients it works fine.
However, when sending to multiple recipients, it takes a ridiculously long
time to send (5 or 6 minutes). We are using Symantec Corporate 10 for our
AV. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Next choice would be to get rid of Norton. It has many compatibility issues
with OE.

How many recipients are you sending to?

This could be an issue with the SMTP mail server. Some mail servers
give an acceptance to OE as soon as the message is transmitted to the
mail server. Others try to send the message on to the recipients' mail
servers immediately and won't give OE acceptance confirmation until it
gets confirmation back from all the other mail servers.
