Hi I am using outlook 2003 with an aol imap account. When my messages come in, and as I am cursoring up and down my messages, my speech goes very quiet but as soon as I disconnect from the internet I can go through the messages very quickly, Obviously outlook is constantly checking for messages but this is annoying as I need to look at my messages without it going quiet on me. What is the best way of setting outlook to check for messages periodically but leaving me free to view my messages? When I cursor down to the next message, nothing happens, it takes a good few seconds to stop what it's doing and I can then carry on and go down another few messages but only a few before it happens again.
