    Sutiga,
     
    When you say you downloaded Internet Explorer a couple of months ago, do you mean you installed Internet Explorer 7?  What is the model of your Dell computer.  How much RAM?  Also, what AntiVirus program are you using?  What are its e-mail scan settings?  Have you scanned your system for spyware/malware/riskware?  All of these can have a bearing on the speed with which e-mails are opened.

    Sutiga,
     
    Could be Norton Internet Security, coupled with Internet Explorer 7 that's slowing things down.  However, to be sure that it's not a bug, I would go to www.download.com.  Download/install/update/scan with Bazooka Spyware Scanner.  Doesn't fix anything, but will tell you if you have something running and how to get rid of it manually.
     
    What other AntiSpyware program(s) are you currently running?  Some on Internet are fake, and are actually malware. 
     
    In answer to your question about deleted e-mail.  Yes, deleted e-mails can be recovered.  Windows maintains forensic data files of e-mail, web sites visited, files downloaded, files opened and edited, etcetera.  Utilities exist to recover usable data from these encrypted files.
     
    Let us know what you find.

    Sutiga,
     
    Outlook Express e-mail file (*.dbx) recovery programs range from DBXtract ($7US) to Ontrack's Power Controls mail server recovery program ($950US).  Bunches of programs in the $25-$50US range.  OE-Mail Recovery shareware program can undelete accidentally deleted messages in the Deleted Items folder of Outlook Express.  It's available here:  http://www.sharewareconnection.com/oe-mail-recovery.htm
     
     
    You can Google for "recover deleted e-mail"  or "e-mail recovery" and probably find tons more e-mail recovery programs.
     
    Hope this info helps.
