For some unknown reason my outlook express doesn' work anymore. I click on it and it just hangs there and it says MSIMN is not responding. Can anyone help me? I installed Outlook Express 5.5, and 6 to see if that would work, but so far no DICE! HELP ME!

I remember the same thing happening to me..

I thought it was my HD hanging.. but it was the program..

It pissed me off to a point where I just did Format and Reinstall..

I installed Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002 and it also lagged too..

Your personal mail file could be corrupted. I know this can happen in Outlook, not sure about Outlook express...
