Outlook Hangs when POPing multiple accounts

[Gene B.]

Hi Folks,

Running Windows XP Professional and Outlook 2002 SP-2 (10-
4219.4219). Just got the PC and configuring it for
email. Have 3 mail accounts, all POP3. When trying to
send/receive, Outlook begins to communicate with server
and begins to download messages and quickly just stops
responding. I end up having the close the send/receive
dialog box which causes Outlook to have to close. Did
some research on Outlook 2002 Update (Dec 4 2002) but not
sure if it makes sense to install.

Anyone experience this problem?

Thanks,
Gene
