my OS is win 7 prof 64 bit and I use Outlook 2007 with msn email and I also have Outlook connector. &nbsp;The account has been configured as IMAP.<br />
Firstly, it takes for ever to downloads the emails both the Inbox and the Junk. &nbsp;<br />
And then at times, at the bottom right hand corner, it says &quot;offline&quot; and when I check by clicking on 'File', I see that the &quot;offline&quot; is not checked. &nbsp;Hope the experts can please suggest how to fix this.
