Do you use Skype?

No, I do not use Skype and the only add-in I use in Outlook is that
installed by Free AVG.
Thanks

The first thing you should do when trying to diagnose a problem is to get
everything out of the way. There's no need to scan incoming or outgoing mail.
Uninstall AVG and reinstall it without the mail scanner. Then test again.

I uninstalled AVG and reinstalled it.

Did you explicitly exclude the mail scanner when you did?
