Why does Window Mail download so slowly?

Whenever windows mail is down loading messages it takes for ever. Sometimes
it stops altogether saying that it lost connection with the POP3. Anyone
else have this problem and know how to speed it up. When I first started
using windows mail I didn't have this problem. It has only been recently...

Re: Why does Window Mail download so slowly?

This is most likely caused by your antivirus program.
Read http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3
Then uninstall your antivirus program, reboot, and try WinMail
again.

After you get your email working properly, you will need to install
a non-intrusive antivirus program such as the free Avast.
Whichever antivirus you select, be sure to NOT enable the email
scanning option.
