Now I'm pissed

[gemfyre]

Outlook Express doesn't want to work now. I'll open it, and more e-mails are coming in, but the view window never shows up and I just get a "not responding" error.

Anyone have any ideas what I should do (the deleted items folder is stupidly huge due to all the spam and doesn't seem to have purged, I think this may be part of the problem).

Please give me useful advice, telling me to install Linux will not help me!

install linux! jes kidding ;)

both the last suggestions are useful, try them. other than that i recommend Mozilla (if it will run on your computer, it has been known to be a resource hog) or Opera for all your browsing an email needs. both are easy enough to set up the email side of things (follow the prompts) and theyre a fair bit more reliable than M$ products.

well, from your experience anyway. I've not had much trouble with these certain M$ products, and so don't know how to fix them. and using something else isn't that useful a suggestion either since the email leaves the server when it's grabbed by outlook. unless you can read inbox.dbx files through them...
and that starts being more than easy usually anyway
