Try this:
Tools>Options?General tab>Check for new messages. Set it for something like
every 10-15 minutes.

Are you using either McAfee or Norton AV?

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
