MSIMN
MSIMN Is Still Running After I Quit Outlook Express and I can't open Outlook
Express again unless I open Task Manager and end the MSIMN process. I'm using Norton Internet Security NOT McAfee. I've tried disableing email virus scanning and it doesn't seem to help. I'm running Windows XP SP2. Can anyone help? |

Are you getting any notification about compacting of your message store? If
so, do you allow it to complete? Try manually compacting your message store by using Outlook Express menu, File/Folder/Compact all folders and let it run to completion without doing anything else. See if that fixes your problems. It usually helps also if you click File/Work Offline first so that the compacting will not be interrupted by a poll for incoming mail messages which will cause an error in compacting. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express Please reply to newsgroup only.

What is the version number of Outlook Express as shown in the Help/About
screen for the program? Do you have any other program running in the background that could be making a call to the mail program? Do you have a fax program installed? Is Outlook (in MS Office) also installed? Do you have your antivirus program set to scan incoming/and or outgoing mail? Try shutting down the antivirus program completely and see if that fixes the problem even though you say removing email scanning has not helped. Last, when you updated to SP2, was an antivirus program running in the background? If so, your install may be corrupted. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express Please reply to newsgroup only.

I checked other programs running in the background and found out my Earthlink
spam blocker wasn't working well with Norton Antivirus 2005. I uninstalled spam blocker and everything seems to be working. Thanks for the help Jim and Steve.

Thanks for the feedback. SPAM programs are now running neck and neck with
antivirus programs and email scanning as the major causes of most problems with Outlook Express. Glad you found the problem and fixed it. -- Jim Pickering, MVP, Outlook Express Please reply to newsgroup only. "Walter" wrote in message ...
