Every time I send one email I see a message "sending 2 out of 2"?

[yomtov]

I am not sure if when it started, but I have just lately paid attention to
this. I am wondering if someone is spying or phishing my emails, or maybe it
is a virus of some sort

Outlook version? Account type?

Just one account?

 

[yomtov]

Yes

Just one account?

 

[Brian Tillman]

Yes

Then I can't explain it, unless it's an undeliverable read receipt. See
this:

Thank you Brian,

I followed the instructions and there are no stuck read receipts.

Can it be a spyware of some sort?

 

[Brian Tillman]

Can it be a spyware of some sort?

Likely not. Alas, I can't explain it with only one account defined.

 

[yomtov]

Maybe I am not knowledgeable enough what "one account defined" means. I have
only one account with my ISP but maybe there is something in outlook that I
dont know. How can I check? And if there is more than one account, what is
the solution. I sent an emailto myself, and I only got one copy even though
it said that it is sending 2 messages out of 2.

Thanks for all your replies.

Click Tools>Account Settings. How many accounts are defined?

 

[yomtov]

Thank you. You are correct, there are 2 accounts there. On the first one it
says (send from this account bt default).

When I remove the second account the issue is corrected and the sending
message is "sending 1 out of 1" as it should be. However, when I put that
account back it again says "sending 2 out of 2" What does it mean? Do all
my recepients receive 2 emails every time I sent them an email?

Your help is very much appreciated.

It means you're seeing a bug in Outlook 2007 that causes it to say that it's
sending more messages than it really sends. It's not actually sending two
messages, but x + y messages, where "x" is the number of messages it
actually is sending and "y" is one less than the number of accounts you have
defined. I don't know if Microsoft is aware of this problem and I don't
know when it will be fixed.

Thanks. Is there a way that I can be notified when microsoft fixes this bug?
Or will it be part of the regular updates?

I was having the same problem. I went into Tools-Options-Other-Advanced Options and unchecked the "Sync RSS Feeds......". This seems to have cleared my problem.
