When I first boot up my computer, my OE works fine when I click on
Send/Recv, and then at some point later(and I haven't been able to determine
if there is something specific I'm doing to cause this), when I click on
Send/Receive nothing happens. If I reboot the computer, it works again and
then after a while, the same issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Any error message? If not, try some cleanup and TLC.

1: Do not archive mail in default OE folders, Inbox, Sent Items, etc., as
they will eventually become corrupt. Create your own user defined folders
for storing mail and move your mail to them. Empty Deleted Items folder
regularly. Keep user created folders under 100MB, and Default folders as
empty as is feasible.

2: After you are done, follow up by compacting your folders manually while
working *offline* and do it often.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

3: Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program
will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

For some programs, turning it off is not enough. You may have to uninstall
it and reinstall in Custom Mode and opt out of e-mail scanning when offered.

If still no joy, try a new identity.

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.
