Outlook Express 6

[Brian]

I've been using OE6 in XP Pro for some time. I have a
large address book (about 12000 emtries). all of a sudden
everything has slowed down. when I try to open OE6 the
blue banner comes up and it just sits there for about 5
minutes before it finally opens my email. also when I
try to open my address book it takes about the same time.
anyone got any clues????

of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...blic.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress
for OE 5.5x

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:
