There is a MS knowledgebase article on this read it HERE Its about OE 5.5, but might help anyhow.
Also, it could be that you have a virus scanner that causes this, if so, try turning it completely off to see if thats the culprit.

No, it didnt help. And besides that was for win9x, not XP!
Are you using a Hotmail account? Outlook Express has some issues with Hotmail accounts one of which is delays.
OP
No, i dont use hotmail, i didnt had this trouble with win2k.

By any chance are you using a 3rd party firewall [eg ZoneAlarm, BlackIce, or Norton] & have you given it permission to access the net in the firewall's options?
Have you disabled Messenger in your local computer policy (or anywhere else for that matter)? This will cause a slow Outlook Express startup. There was a way around it, but I forgot where . Maybe a tweaking site. Anyway, I just let messenger run without loggin in. Would be nice if someone knew the exact fix.

This fix corrects the slow Outlook startup problem when you remove or prevent Messenger from running.
Good Luck, let me know if this helps.

I have this same problem with OE 6.0 on 2 Win2K boxes running Office XP and SP2. I will try to locate that same key and see if it works.
