New Issue! Outlook 2007 Slow Email Downloading; on certain network

R

I have a slightly different problem, which I have not seen is shared with
anyone else thus far….

I use Vista / Outlook 2007, running on a HP nc6400 laptop, 1.5gb ram and a
core duo processor. Vista rating is 3.0.

The issue that I have is related to networks I believe. In my office there
are two ethernet networks, and one wireless. On all three office networks, I
can only get the most sluggish possible download speed of emails from my POP3
accounts. They literally take hours to download somewhere around 800KB in a
typical synch assuming no attachments. I do realise that this problem IS
shared on other threads!

SENDING email on all office networks is perfect speed, just as normal,
irrepsective of whether there are attachments or not! I should also point out
that Internet Browsing through all office networks is full, normal 8meg
speed. It’s only the downloading of email that's the issue!

Here's the difference though.... Confusingly, when I am at home, and
connected to my home wireless 8meg broadband network, which is run through a
Belkin N1 MIMO wireless router, incoming and outgoing email is perfect full
speed, and absolutely no problems at all! Sending and receiving emails goes
at full speed!

Even more confusing, is that when I am connected to my T-Mobile, mobile
broadband dongle, AGAIN, email sending and receiving is FULL SPEED!

How does that work then? For some reason, I only get downloading speed
issues when connected to one of the office networks. I should also note that
internet browsing is full speed on all five of the networks, and is never a
problem.

Even more confusing than that is, on my older P4 laptop, which was running
XP Pro SP2 and Outlook 2007, there were NO emailing receiving speed issues at
all, when connected to the same office networks that are currently giving me
jip on the Vista laptop.

Therefore, I cannot work out whether the downloading email issue is
connected to my office networks, vista OR Outlook 2007??

What do you think?? It’s killing me!
