E-mail my friend guard getting hung up and mails will not be extinguished unless she restarts or key F9

She has DSL with a slower connection and uses a modem DSL/Wireless combo. His computer doesn't have a lot of memory.

This explains the slowness.  You can also check for whatever programs run at startup, which can slow things down.  Go to start | Run and type msconfig and disable the startup items that you don't need to run at startup of the machine (probably most of what is in the list).  Then restart if it does not use Outlook Express, first save the messages (see www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/) and then make a file | Folder | Compact everything to optimize the database messages and pay attention to interference antivirus (which can also slow things down a lot - see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

Also run a disk cleanup and defragmentation of the hard drive, if there is enough space (start |) Programs | Accessories | System Tools).
