Notification Tray issue

I am having a problem with 2 applications that use the notification tray:
Outlook Express and Mailwasher Pro.

For example, when new mail arrives, OE puts a new mail icon in the
Notification Tray. However the process that performs this action is quite
slow. It seems to hang the desktop for a couple of seconds. OE also appears
to hang during the update. Foreground applications are not affected just the
desktop, which does not repaint, and the app performing the Notification
Tray update.

The same issue occurs with Mailwasher Pro. I've tried uninstalling MWP but
it had no effect on the issue.

Does anyone know what might be happening and how I can fix it?

I have no experience of Mailwasher Pro. A thought which come to mind.
Is your anti-virus programme set to scan incoming mail?
