Do you have a spam killer application?
I just have the Junk Mail filter in Outlook, I think that was a component of Outlook
and not a 3rd party one. I run all other spam filtering on the server side.
I have Spybot running but only installed that a month ago, this problem has been
happening for about last 2 years since I installed Avast, I had nothing before that.
Did you have any other antivirus before avast?
Yes, I am trying to remember, it was several years ago, I had the free package
that Road Runner offered for a couple years, I think it was from CA Associates.
Somewhere along the way I think there was a special program I had to run to cleanse
the reminents of this before Avast would install initially, but again it has been about 2
years.
Is there some areas If could look for file reminents that would conflict with Avast ?
Which is your email server? GMail? Yahoo?
Everything is standard POP/SMTP to my privately owned and managed email servers.
I thought this might be a problem, but the freezes did not always happen during polling
but happened also even scrolling through the message list window after polling was long
over.
How many email accounts are you checking with Outlook?
Right now, only 5. I tried disabling them all except one about a year ago as a science fair
project but it still happened.
I appreciate any help you could give.
Regards,
Mike
