Hi -
This isn't giving us much to work with. When you post in here, always
include your version, SP level, and mode (if applicable) of Outlook - you
can find this information in Help | About. Also include the type of mail
account(s) you use and any other pertinent details. Be sure to put a consise
summary of your question in the subject line, and the full details in the
body of your post.

downloads the email o.k. then wont open it untill I shut down outlook and
reopen it then it works fine until the next download of email. Hope this helps
