Using Outlook 2003 w/ Windows XP Pro, error occurs when attempting to
download an email (spam) that has no subject line or sender address. I can
download Inbox headers and delete the offending email, then continue email
download. Have seen other threads w/ similar problem, but no solution found
yet. Obviously I can work around it, but I get this type of spam 2 to 3 times
a week (sometimes 2 or 3 a day). If I download 20 emails before it hits this
snag, I either get to download them again, or go through the headers and
delete the ones I've already received. Incapacitating? - No. Annoying? -
Very. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
I get those mails as well but no lockups for me. Do you have third party
e-mail scan software installed? (spamfilter, virusscanner or even synch
software) See if disabling those fixes your issue.

-What do the Outlook Icons Mean?
-Create an Office 2003 CD slipstreamed with Service Pack 1
 
It appears that that solved my problem. I disabled the "scan incoming email"
function on my Norton AntiVirus (Ver 10.0.1.13).

Thank you very much. If only the big boys could respond with such speed and
accuracy!
