Eric, I have a 6.5GB database, and I do *not* freeze for 3 minutes every time I get an email! I get about 300 emails a day, so I would be frozen nonstop... I have a 13-second freeze at midnight every night (perhaps other times of day that I've never noticed?), but I don't think I've ever frozen for 3 minutes and recovered normally -- sometimes, it will freeze/spin the beachball and crash, but not recover... I would guess you need to compact/repair your database, or else that Exchange may be a suspect (I do not do IMAP or Exchange, only POP). But those are just guesses. peace, Linda -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
