Cancle "Acknowledgement of Receipt" from sending

G

Guest

I made a major mistake!! I received a spam email that slipped through my spam
processing and ended up in my inbox. The email had a "Acknowledgement of
Receipt" attanched to it and I inadvertantly approved the receipt to be sent.

The account that this email came in on is a "Trash Account" and therefore
has no server linkage for sending outgoing mail. Now Outlook is repetedly
trying to cycle through and send this email, only to return a task error in
my "Send/Receive Progress" box (over and over and over....)

I was hoping that this message would be sitting in my outbox and I could
just delete it, but it does not show up there.

Anyone know how I can track this thing down and make it go away without
opening this account for sending and letting these Spammers know that they
have a "hit"??

Thanks for your advice!!

Thank you Diane (and Milly)
Four days later, the damn thing is finally gone!!

What a great looking site (outlook-tips.net)!! I will certainly mark it for
future use and spend some time getting familiar with it before I need it
again.

Again, THANKS!!
