Slow outlook 2003 pop download on Windows XP Pro

Hi,

We are having a problem with 2 computers on our network which are Windows XP Pro computers using outlook 2003. Both have pop accounts setup but the problem is when they do a send and receive the outlook takes FOREVER to download the email. im talking 1 byte a minute or something silly like that. I have read other places about the netsh command but windows xp doesnt reconise this command (found here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935400)

Are you having trouble with your connectivity? If you dont have any connectivity issues, check with your domain/mail hosting provider for any technical issues. If you can rule out that as well, might be your inbox has been filled over the quota. If your provider gives a web based login, go and delete any bulk mails or mails with heavy attachements. If you are out of that option too, use Mail washer pro. Its a shareware application and can download the headers of mails and give complete access to your account. Retreive important mails, delete the unnecessary ones and then try again with outlook.

Please post back if the problem persists.
