Whoa there. Nothing to do with your connection, it may be your machine trying to cope with some unnecessary baggage in the OE files. Before doing anything dramatic, tell us what have you got on your OE by way of messages stored? Have you compacted the database etc? Everytime you delete a message and generally mess about, spaces are left in files taking up unnecessary room, it is a good idea to be rid of these spaces (think of how more efficient a defragmented disk is to its opposite). Anyway, before double clicking the OE icon, hold the option key down and just say yes to everything. If you have a lot of stuff, the clean up will take a while - the longer it takes, the more good it is doing! It is worth it. Try this first and - by the way - even BEFORE this, why not remove as many messages that you are not likely to look at again in a hurry, put them in a folder on your hard disk (create new folder, select messages from OE and drag). Make it as lean as possible, naturally.
