Dear Friends,

See this thread in microsoft.public.windows.vista.mail:

"Emails slow to create and reply" 5/2/2007

Other people are reporting slow performance with Windows Mail, I'd check
that forum for your solution. You may have to wait for a hotfix (or even a
service pack -- ugh!) to get a good solution to the problem. Sadly, there
are lots of folks waiting for lots of hotfixes.

About your machine (and somewhat in contradiction to Gideon CC's reply):

I agree that a 20GB drive is waaay to small for Vista -- but you actually
have a 120G hard drive (that's in the specs for the Y500). And your
processor (a stripped-down almost Celeron-like version of the Core Duo
processors) should be fast enough to give satisfactory performance for most
applications..

However, I recommend upgrading your machine still mo Double your memory
as soon as you can afford it. The scores for memory, graphics memory, and
the Intel 945GM are probably better than the machine deserves. Part of that
1G of RAM you bought is being used by the video card (see
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets...ots/307508.htm ). You might be
disappointed with many modern games that demand a lot from a machine.

But it certainly should be BLAZINGLY fast doing email and lots of other
stuff!
