First Outlook Express years ago and now Outlook - both giving me the absolute $h!t$!! Keeps crashing intermittently over the months/years, but now for some reason every time Outlook tries to download an email (on any email account) it freezes my whole computer. Well not freeze but pretty much stops everything in it's tracks incl. other programs.
Has no problem sending the mail though and everything works fine until it tries to start receiving an email. Error message given after lots of freezing is 'Task 'mail.gmail.com - Receiving' reported error (0x80048002): this task was cancelled before it was completed.' (not just the gmail account). Plus we're talking small test email sizes of 3kb it's stuffing up on, and I cleared the remote server so there was nothing else coming down jamming it up.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Have AVG running and no issues, and as far as I'm aware I haven't downloaded any suspicious emails or files.
Can anyone recommend a better email client I can download from the web - eg. I'm much happier with Mozilla than I was with IE.
