One thing to check is that your configuration is set to always load
Windows Internet Services. That setting is in Tools > Options >
General settings > Advanced settings.
FWIW, a hang during download of new mail has been commented on often with v4.7. It seems that some folks experience it and others don't. I do and it is noticeably worse on slow machines (old processors, low RAM) although I'm talking 15-20 seconds to check two mailboxes not 1-2 minutes (15 Mbps connection). Obviously connection speed and message quantity/size also impact the amount of time the resources are tied up.
If you are indeed waiting 1-2 minutes and winsock is always loading then post back to see if anyone has any other suggestions because this sounds extreme for one message even for a slow machine on a slow connection.
