Hello. I am using a new iMac and Mac Book Pro and Outlook is freezing once opened and going to do the first send and receive. This happens on both machines (showing the spinning beach ball, also known as the spinning rainbow pinwheel of death). I have POP3 accounts on both, multiple accounts (all work related) on the iMac and just 2 (work related also) on the Mac Book Pro. I have never had this sort of issue before even when using entourage before upgrading. All software is up to date for both mac and office on both machines. I have tried rebuilding the database and other threads i have found but nothing has worked. Firewall is off also. I'm not using Exchange either. Running out of ideas and need to get this sorted ASAP.

Anyone have the same issues and have a solution for this?
