Have you tried running scanpst.exe on it?

Didn't help.  As soon as the bad email got highlighted (and since it was the
last one in the group, it did when I clicked into the Junk folder)  the app
hung with the hourglass.  Since the bad boy was a bounced email, I'm
thinking maybe it had some virus in it.  I'll do a scan of the box later
today but everything's working OK.  I worked around it by marking one of my
accounts as junk, and sent myself an email from that account.  So that one
was the one highlighted in the junk mail folder and I was able to retrieve
the email I needed to save and clean out the rest.

Do you have the preview pane visible? Does it help if you turn that off?

Dear Lists:

I have a few emails in my junk folder but when I open it Outlook hangs with
the hourglass - uses 50% of the cpu - and is unresponsive - have to
terminate the process.  There's a couple emails in there I'd like to see.  I
tried copying the junk mail folder to a temp folder but when I open the temp
folder, same thing happens.  The focus is on a bounced email in the junk
folder and so I suspect that's causing the problem somehow.  

What to do? What to do?
