Outlook 2007 freezes

Outlook seems to freeze when it is in the process of downloading new email.
It also seems to freeze for other unknown reasons. Sometime it rees up after
a few minutes, and other times I have to try and close it, get the message
saying that Outlook is not responding and gives me the option to restart..
this is very anoying.

Some of the usual questions:
- have you installed all the service packs and patches?
- might indexing be running and taking time? (is the hard drive active, etc)

Also, it should be noted that no other program that has a window open slow
down or becomes non responsibe. Occasionaly other MS programs also become
unresponsive, but much less often than Outlook. I have had windoes explore
become unresponsive, IE7 become unresponsive, Word often becomes unresponsive
when you try to close the document and has to restart before you can actually
close it down.
