It's hard to say what's going on without any details.
How many rules do you have configured?
What do these rules do?
Are you just running it against a folder that contains 10 emails?
Do you have a virus scanner installed which integrates itself with Outlook?
Uninstall this integration part of your virus scanner and try again; you'd
still be sufficiently protected by your on-access scanner part of the virus
scanner. For more details see;
