From: Craigmill on
My desktop pc has an AMD x3 435 processor (2.9Mhz) and office 2007
including Outlook 2007. I have two POP3 email accounts and when I do a
Send Receive (with no out going or in coming emails) it takes about 10
seconds (with no errors) to complete.

I have just purchased a small note book with a 1.6Mhz Intel processor,
it has WinXP and Office XP with Outlook 2002. I have set up Outlook
with the same two POP3 email accounts in exactly the same way, but
when I do a Send Receive it only takes a second or two!

I know this sounds a bit pedantic but I would like to understand why
there should be such a difference?
