Fort Smith, AR | [AR] Anyone else notice slow email connect after recent outage? By recent a mean several weeks ago. Before the outage my inbox would load several subject lines in just a few seconds. Now that is rare, mostly the status shows receiving mail and it takes a lot longer than it used to. Just curious. |

No problems with email (at home or on the road) since the system wide outage last December. Its been as fast and stable as ever...
We happen to use Outlook 2010 on my Win 8 laptop and my wife's Win 7 desktop as our email clients. |

Fort Smith, AR | Outlook express in Win XP SP3. I went to Cox.net website and looked up email setup. The current instructions are totally different than when I setup the accounts in Outlook express. The server names, port number, authentication etc. I changed it all and I'll have to see if that changes anything. |

| as far as how fast you outlook loads thats sounds lime more of a software issue specially if its loading existing emails vs new emails being downloaded. if its new emails being slow, try clearing out your outlook of any old emails or deleted items also run a speed test and ping test to make sure there is no issue's |

Like m8trix already said... and I've experienced Outlook Express bogging down because of overloaded mailboxes - multiple users with multigigabyte mailboxes. OE was crawling but perked right up after off loading the old mails. Sort them by subject, age, anything like that, (I did by year) and create matching folders on your drive (say, under My Documents) and move/drag the messages in sorted group from OE into the new folders you made. You should see .msg files for each mail.
Check the .msg files are double-click readable before deleting the copies messages out of OE. You can put them back in to OE later.

As to your OP... I do see inconsistent behaviour from the mail servers, randomly rejecting legitimate username/password a few times a week but I've seen that for years, still do, but it did become excessive in the weeks before the December blackout. But nothing being slow, just flaky. |
