Don, Try deleting all your folders. Your deleted items, your sent items, etc. When you delete incoming mail it goes to a deleted folder. That folder does not automatically empty. You have to set the amount of posts or the amount of time that goes by before the system knows to empty the folder. If that folder over fills ( i.e. 10,000-15,00 items), it can screw up other function due to lack of resources.
I am referring to the deleted items within outlook, not the recycle bin on your desktop.
