Was just checking it about 3 hours ago and I also use the link to Outlook from the msn site.

Outlook
I have 3 different email accounts that outlook grabs email from Work, public, and personal. It has been my experience that when ever the servers the accounts are based on (in this case work is a private server and persona/public are gmail) have issues connecting or storage fills up, outlook takes more response time to get info.
If you are using accounts like gmail, msn, or yahoo i would go to their website and log onto the account to see what response times are and check storge.

Don't use outlook, which has a rather large history of vunerablities over the years, Not sure why you want to use it on anything other than an internal network.
Outlook 2010 actually fixed a
Outlook 2010 actually fixed a lot of the issues they had had - the biggest issue being "We don't want people talking to IMAP servers unless it's our Proprietary Exchange version"
That said, there are a lot of people who are using Office 2003, with Outlook 2010 - and they're stopping there. Anything beyond that will probably be abandoning Microsoft Office completely.
Okay - bashing aside, what Outlook is extremely good at is its original function - it's a contact management system, and a very good one.
(here's the very short history. First there was Schedule+ (part of Office 95), which was a good contact management and scheduling tool, and you could use it in a workgroup. That threatened the new Exchange, so they merged Schedule+ with the Exchange Client, and called it "Outlook 97". It was terrible at anything but contact management and Exchange. Workgroup scheduling? Forget it.
Then they realized that their email ability truly sucked, and decided on another merger. They put Microsoft Internet Mail And News into Outlook 97, and called it 'Outlook 2000'. (In case you don't recall microsoft IM&N, but still have a windows XP machine, go to 'start', 'run', and type in 'msimn.exe' It'll open up "Outlook Express". They just renamed the client, but not the executable. )
So, Outlook 2000 still sucked rocks. So they fixed up the IMAP support a little bit, added some extra bells and whistles, and added some import/export ability. Thus became Outlook 2003.
We won't talk about Outlook 2007, other than just like all the other Office 2007 products, it did not have _any_ previous version code. (I knew someone on the Office team. He said they took all the original code, then threw it away, and wrote totally new. So it's not really a 'new version of office', as much as it is a 'totally new program that we're selling instead of Office')
Office 2010? No difference between 2007 and 2010 except they fixed it so you could actually use IMAP as your main folder/mailbox. Mind you, Netscape/Mozilla/Thunderbird had that for a decade, but that's microsoft, it's wonderful only if they do it.
So, if you have money to spend, and you want a REALLY GOOD contact management system that doesn't have an insane back-end like ACT! or GoldMine - buy Outlook.
If you just need email, use anything else.

I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Try Thunderbird for email.
Works pretty darn well.
