Vista+Outlook 2007 outbox problem

I have used Office 2007 for several months on Xp Pro. I recently upgraded to
Vista Enterprise (bought a new laptop). Everything seems to work ok, except
when I try to send a message (can be even a test message). Outlook goes into
a loop of sending - which it never really does, but looking at the
"send/receive progress" box, it continually counts upward how many tasks it
has completed. The task bar jitters as it goes through its routine. The only
way to close Outlook is to use "Task Manager" and end task. It asks if we
want to close while a message is in the outbox.

I have re-installed Office, replace the .pst file (which clears the problem
up until I attempt to send again.) I can not delete the mail in the outbox
unless I replace the .pst file.

I would really appreciate help in this -- I am extremely frustrated at
Microsoft.

Thanks,

A couple of possibilities. One, you don't have your outgoing server
properly set up in Outlook or two, you may have an issue with your antivirus
software. We have found a lot of e-mail issues with both Norton Antivirus
and McAfee which come preinstalled on a lot of new computers.
