Faulty spellcheck and slow send

Every time I send an email the spellcheck screen comes up, but it never displays actual spelling errors. I turned off spellcheck in Options but the spellcheck screen still displays every time - irritating. Also, sending emails has got very slow, it takes around 10 seconds for a very short email without attachments - maybe the two are connected.

Computer has been re-booted many times - the problem remains each time, the slow email send time is particularly irritating. If I uninstalled - re-installed would my existing emails still be displayed or would I lose them; maybe doing this would solve the problem.
