This is my third attempt to post this question. I check the email notify and
I try to check the newsgroup but I get no replies and can't see my previous
questions, and the list of categories must be hundreds of different products
and categories, in an apprently random sequence making it pure luck, almost,
to find the Outlook Express section. What is wrong with Microsoft techs?

Coming back to the question, I hesitate to use "Find" to search my email
anymore, because if I have to search message content the search completely
takes over my PC and I can do nothing, including terminate the search, even
with Task Manager.

This seems so primitive that even now I think there is something I have
done, but I'm begining to think it's Microsoft because there is no money in
this kind of efficiency or convenience.

They should subcontract all search functionality to Google.

Seriously, does anyone have a suggestion?
