MSN Mail

[Pat]

Sometimes, usually at night, my MSN mail, through MSN Explorer, is very very
slow. It will literally take a minute or two to check email or send a simple
text email. The little evelope with the words "Checking e-mail" will be up
flashing for a couple minutes and nothing will download..........dont have
that issue if i use Internet explorer and access email thru that.......

How many messages are in the folders that sync with the server? What is your
connection type?
Basically, when using www.hotmail.com you are looking at a list of messages.
When using MSN Mail via MSN Explorer, "checking mail" means that synchronization
is taking place. If you have a slow connection, many stored messages, or there
is slowness on the server side, among other reasons, the sync can take time.
