An IBM ThinkPad X40 can no longer download emails with Outlook. It was recently updated with the new drivers from IBM and about a week later this issue appeared. When ever new email is received the computer bogs down and only rarely is able to download a message. I thought it might be a corrupted email so all old email was deleted and the old pst was removed, still no luck. When an email with an attachment is accessed to programs stops for ~5 minutes. If the mouse is moved over an email with an attachment the program freezes. It doesn't seem to be malware because I ran it through ewido and panda. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
