Delay in receiving mails

My business partner and I are both using XP home and Outlook 2003 for our
mails. Our mails are taking hours to be received (by each other and from
others), but if we use Outlook Express to send them they drop immediately.

They also arrive in an inconsistent order

I thought is was a server capacity problem initially as we have sent a lot
of mails out recently, but that doesn't explain why Outlook Express would be
ok and the company that hosts our server assures us it can handle volume.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for you help
 
Do you have the "Send Immediately" checkbox checked in Tools -> Options ->
Mail Setup? How often is Outlook set to check for new mail?
