vista mail 100% cpu

When I have Vista Mail running in the back ground it uses 100% of the
CPU and slows down my laptop and flattens the battery quickly, I need it
running as I get regular e-mails. Has anyone came accross this and
appart from shutting down mail, know how to repair this.
thanks in advance
Wilf....

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.

Go to Task Manager>processes tab (twice), look for an instance of
scvhost.exe that is hogging CPU, and end process.
