why on EARTH does Outlook Express grind a PC to a halt IF you delete lots emails.
It ALWAYS needs a reboot.
If you Shift Click on maybe 300 emails and delete them all.....apart from the huge amount of time it takes to do it, the PC runs like a DOG until you reboot.
Whats THAT all about?
cos its a pants mail client?
Deleting a couple of thousand of e-mails in Thunderbird takes a fair few seconds and the program just sits there. However the system is fine afterwards.
How strange.
FWIW I tend to find outlook express has problems dealing with attachments... Not the old security issues... But I've found that it only really has problems for me if I'm deleting / moving e-mails with attachments - even if the attachments are really small. FWIW though I personally think OE and Outlook proper are pants... Some of the worse software MS is peddling TBH. That's from using Outlook at work but not with an exchange server - so it's probably handling 'local' email in the same was as OE. With exchange it's (somewhat) better though I suppose that all depends on how good / bad a company's exchange server actually is.
