Outlook is slow after SP 2

After completing the installation of SP 2 on my WIndows XP system (a
relatively new and high powered computer) my Outlook program runs slowly when
it is sending mail. My outbox takes minutes to empty with relatively few
emails. They used to just simply fly out of the out box with little or no
delay.
I am using Outlook 2002 SP-1 (not Express)

After installing sp2 i have this problem too , with Outlook 2003

I was able to solve this problem by creating a new profile in outlook. Once
that was done everything ran fine. Somehow the update to SP 2 resulted in my
old profile being damaged in some way that lead to slow sending of email.
After creating the new profile I had to move all of my current and save
email into the new profile by manipulating the data files. I also had to
export/import my contacts. It was rather tedious and technical. But it worked.
Here is a link on the subject of creating new profiles.
