I think it used to happen when it was dealing with junk mail only and now I think it happens and freezes for 6 to 10 seconds every time it gets mail. And now finding it is slow to send even simple emails with not attachments. (5 sec. or more). I have lived with this for a long time and now need to deal with this annoying freeze.

Anyone having this problem?

Thanks Janice
