Is this slower than normal? anything recently change? Does your
computer have sufficient memory?

Outlook is not a particularly speedy program, sometimes.

also (sorry didn't think of this in last posting):

- your virus scanner may be set to scan incoming email and that will
take time
- the email may be HTML and it takes time to retreive the references if
you don't block them
- the mail may be on a remote IMAP server and it takes time to download

Hi Rob,

- I have not install any anti-virus program yet
- the mails I referred to are those already downloaded from the ISP server
- if I am not wrong it normally takes < 2 sec to open an email

Anyway, I will try to change the HTML setting - thanks.

Better get some anti-virus programs soonest, and check that you don't
already have one or more. Ensure also you have some firewall
protection; else you'll get the Blaster virus sooner than you realize.
