all of a sudden, when I open OE it takes a full minute to get going.
The OS is XP Pro, and it is up to date according to Windows Update.
It used to open just fine (less than two seconds).
I have it set to not fetch mail on open, and it does not start
messaging.

It only affects one login on the same computer.

It takes 30 seconds to get through the splash screen, then the main
window sits there empty for another 30 seconds. Throughout this
minute, there doesn't appear to be much activity (hard drive), and the
cpu activity is low -- as if it's just waiting for something.?
