Mystery messages in Outbox

[Alex Wood]

I retrieve my work email at home from a seperate POP3 mailbox. I download
headers only so i can only retrieve messages i need.
If i delete a message where someone has requested a receipt, and message
gets sent back to them saying Message Not Read (or something along those
lines). I cant seem to stop these messages being sent. I've now changed my
outbound mailserver so it cant send emails and i have 10 messages waiting to
be sent, but i cant see them in my outbox, so i cant delete them. The only
reason i know they're there is because Outlook says Sending Message 1 of 10
in the status bar before it gives up and gives an error message.

Any ideas how i can stop these messages being sent? I've disabled auto
replies to requests and dont know what else to do.

Thanks for any help

If you've disabled replies to requests, no further replies should be
generated. To get fid of the existing ones, see this:
