Discovery:
I bought a new machine and received it this weekend and no longer have a
problem with the poor performance when retrieving the list of messages. I
haven't changed anything on the office machine and it still has the slowness
problem. I'm going to delete my account in Outlook Express and see if that
does anything. If so, then there's something different about the data being
passed from 6.06 and 7.02?
