Vista - Slow responce.

Windows mail slow response especially when first starting. I can live with
it on my laptop but wife is complaining about desktop an I thinking of
having her use web mail. Does number of saved emails have anything to do
with it? Transferred a lot from XP Express. Also notice when switching
from on newsgroup to another and there are a lot of posts it takes a while.
Thanks in advance.

I am having the same problem.I don't think it is related to the number of
saved messages in Windows Mail because I only have 1 or 2 and keep everything
deleted that I don't want to keep.This started about three weeks or a month
ago.The program was flawless and very quick till something happened that
slowed Windows Mail down on this Vista OS.I have noticed though that if you
go through all the folders after opening the mail the first time and wait
till they open then leave the program open after that it seems to move faster
the rest of the day but still not as it should.

Hi. Re slowing down of Windows Mail, I am noticing the same thing, and I'm
on IMAP, so messages are not stored locally. I tried compacting the
newsgroups but it didn't seem to make any difference. Love to know if anyone
more experienced than me can come up with a solution.

Open Windows Calender and then close it after a couple of minutes.

I tried uninstalling that update and had all kinds of problems with Outlook
that I couldn't solve. I had to do a system restore. I now find that
Outlook performs ok if I start it with the mail screen rather than the inbox
screen, but Windows Mail is still snail like. It is like working on a 10
year old computer...and I have a new computer with a Core 2 duo processor, 2
GB memory and scads of HD space. It's painful to write or read anything
using it.

I seem to recall that this issue was solved quite a few weeks ago.
The slowness is caused by Spybot and similar third party programs
adding thousands of sites to the Restricted Sites list in IE.

Excellent stuff about Spybot, searching the web I found out if you undo
the immunise in sbybot all works fine. I then just uninstalled Spybot.

I don't have Spybot installed and my windows mail is still extremely slow
unless I first go to the calendar page. I no longer have the problem on
Outlook, so that seems to have been fixed.
