Any suggestions for an email programme other than Outlook (to operate on Vista Business)? Alternatively, any suggestions how I can overcome the following problem in Outlook which slows the download speed (on ADSL) to one which makes a dial-up connection seem quick? When Outlook starts downloading emails, an icon appears on the bottom right-hand bar (I think that's what these things are called) which says it's "synchronizing folders". This has been going on for some days and unless I can fix it real quick, the notebook's likely to end up in the local river and I'll be unable to benefit from all the investment/trading insights posted on this site.

Have you queried / checked your Outlook set-up with your service provider?

Thanks sasa. Sent an email to Mweb and waiting for a reply. Googling the problem suggests that it's not uncommon. Now getting desperate. Any suggestions for a different mail programme?

Thanks for the input guys. Anyone familiar with Eudora, Opera or Windows Mail (buried in Vista)?
