email gets slower and slower until reboot

[Guest]

I am running Windows 2000 with the "3Com EtherLink XL 10/100 PCI For
Complete PC Management NIC (3C905C-TX)" and a cable modem. I have all the
latest patches and drivers.

However, during the day, especially if there is a lot of activity, the
incoming email slows down to a crawl. It doesn't matter what account it is
from. Rebooting the system takes care of the problem, but only for a day or
so. I checked the performance manager and CPU and memory usage are just
fine.

Any idea what kinds of settings to look at?

Thanks!

If you are running Norton Antivirus, disable e-mail scanning (both inbound
and outbound).

By the way, does restarting e-mail client (Outlook?) help?

Thanks for the tip, but I should have mentioned that I already tried
removing the virus scanner to no avail. Did a check and I am clean of
viruses and spyware.

No, restarting outlook express has no effect either. Not even renewing via
IPCONFIG. Must actually reboot.
