Ghost in the outbox??

[mitch]

I have been experienceing a situation where Outlook 03 is
attempting to send a message and returning the following
error (everytime I send/receive) even though there is
nothing in the outbox:

Task 'Mitch DRS - Sending' reported error
(0x80042109) : 'Outlook is unable to connect to your
outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive
this message, contact your server administrator or
Internet service provider (ISP).'

Any new outgoing messages go just fine and the status bar
alway shows that Outlook is attempting to send one more
message than is in the outbox.

How do I get rid of the ghost message??

Hi Kurt,

This originally happened when I tried to send on a non
Earthlink account. (See
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;836562 for the error code mentioned below) I renamed
sending account and the email went but, Outlook still
seems to think there is something there to send..... Of
course I've closed and restared Outlook but it still acts
the same.

I as well am receiving this. It's going to a non active

account in my case. If I set it up to go to a valid smtp
server the message gets sent but I wonder what is being
sent? Is there anyway to find this out?

Hmmm. Well, I'll be done traveling and back on my cable by
this time next week. Hopefully that will purge it. I'm not
to concerned with figuring out which email it is as I
would have heard about it from my clients if they did not
have what they needed from me. Good luck and thankd for
your perspective.

Mitch,

I too have an earthlink account. I got rid of the "ghost"

email by changing my account back to my cable modem
account and then had it send it. But what gets me is what
was the EMAIL? I still don't know what it was!
