Outlook 2003 hangs for Brad

[Brad]

Hi There,
Brad in "down under" in Australia here.

Can anyone please help with an answer why my outlook 2003
has been working fine up until a week ago and for the
past 7 days hangs after a few emails comes in.
Sends me a "not responding" message at the toolbar area.
Have to restart and then it reloads the same emails and
hangs again.
Have contacted the ISP and deleted all incoming emails...
problem is OK for a day after this is done but returns
the next day when new emails come in.

I'm desperate... hope someone out there can shed a little
light... Many thanks
best regards
Brad

Run scanpst.exe against your pst-file and see if it comes up with anything.

Brad, I'm having the EXACT same problem (as are others). It will hang
on send/receive for a while and give up about 25% of the time. I have
to hit send/receive several times usually to get it to work.

I'll keep looking around and post anything useful I find here.

BTW, Outlook Express has no trouble checking and downloading messages
in seconds (as long as there aren't more than a few messages). I
wonder why Outlook 2003 can't do this. Fustrating!
