I've have Windows XP Pro with all the updates. I have multiple user acounts set up. When I use Outlook Express 6 under my account it loads within 6 or 7 seconds. When any of the other users log on to their respective accounts, Outlook Express 6 takes 45 seconds to load. Any ideas as to why??

Things that might be different;

MSN messenger settings,
Amount of mail stored for the account. The more mail, the slower the load time.
Automatic send/receive settings,
Security settings.

Any of these could explain the difference. I haven't transferred my e-mail to my XP box yet, so I can't check it out personally.
Of the 3 accounts on my W98 OE6 system, the main account takes the longest to load as it has the most saved mail in it.
When I take the time to clear out my mail, it loads much faster.
