I apologize but noticed i kept saying CONTACT. That's incorrect.
The "contacting serve for information" box pops up (& freeze any further
Outlook activity for 15-30 seconds) when ever this particular email is
highlighted in the preview pane. I do NOT have this problem when opening any
other email.....just this particular one.

This started few weeks ago and wonder if this is an Office update issue.
Have tried searching on Microsoft Help and nothing!!!

I've googled "Contacting the server for information" and there are many
others having this same issue.

Again, all other emails open fine, just problem with this particular email
and it didn't used to do this???

Also, any ideas why am i not receiving notices when getting replies in my
outlook?

It sounds like its an HTML message with external content.
Are you using antivirus scanner on incoming email? That can also cause
problems.

About 1 month ago I began having trouble opening email from college....
whenever i click on that particular email, i get a pop up saying:
"Contacting the server fro information"

It takes several seconds for it to stop scanning and finally opens. I've
contacted the webmaster for the college site and they're looking into it
but
have had no complaints?

I haven't changed or done anything different in my outlook since this
particular contact began doing this. I have always had this contact added
to
safe sender lists, domain, etc. in junk mail.
Any suggestions on how to make this stop?

Perhaps that particular message contains content supplied by a web service
that isn't available any more.
