Confirmations seem to be blocking my sends

For several days my Send/Receive is timing out after 5 minutes. I receive
emails, but none will go out.

I notice the number of outgoing emails is (2) higher than the number of
emails in my outbox. I know a recent sendor requested read confirmations (2).

I tested the email account in Tools/email accounts and the test worked find,
it sent and I received the test, but any emails I create, including forwards
will not go.

My ISP was not able to help and referred me to Microsoft.

Can I somehow purge the read confiramtions somehow, they do not show in my
Outbox.

Thanks.

John
 
Not sure about this, but try File, Work Offline, delete anything in the
Outbox. Remember to uncheck Work Offline. You should also change your
settings for handling Return Receipts in Tools, options, Email Options,
Tracking. Set it to 'Ask Me' before sending receipts.
 
See if this is your problem:
