Whenever I bring up a new form to compose mail or click 'reply' on an
existing open form the new form starts to open and it shows only the outline
of the form then there is a hesitation, perhaps 5 seconds, before the rest
of the form fills in and displays itself and I can start to type the
message. I've only notice this happening in OE and no other programs. Is
there a fix for this? I'm using OE6.

Does *form* define as a new message window?

You may have a damaged identity especially if it is the default Main
Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it.
If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book from the old
identity and delete it.

You hit the nail right on the head with that 'fix' as that seems to be the
problem as the new or reply message window pop right up - Many thanks. Now I
have imported the address book but I'm trying to import mail and news group
accounts. When trying to import mail accounts I can't seem to get the wizard
to point to OE instead of Outlook and the wizard can't find any of the news
accounts. Do I need to manually add them to the identify. I can't seem to
find info on this.

Newsgroups neither import, nor export. You can go to Tools | Accounts | News
in your old ID and export the account to a folder on your HDD and then
import them while in your new ID, but you will have to resubscribe to the
individual groups.

For your messages:

In the old identity, compact all your folders first.

In the new identity: File | Import | Messages. Select Microsoft Outlook
Express 6 and Import from the old identity. You don't need the wizard.
