Message in Sent Mail greyed out with a line struck through it

[Meg Geddes]

Why would one of my Sent Messages appear in the Sent Mail folder greyed out
and with a line struck through it? I usually only see this when I'm
downloading headers off my IMAP account, after I've deleted them but before
I've purged them. But this particular message, which was a Forward I sent
out, was sent out via one of my POP3 accounts. And it's outgoing, not
incoming. I can't find any reference to this behavior anywhere. Nothing
about this message appears different from any of the others I send out. I
can open it, save it, move it. No matter what I do to it, it stays greyed
out with the line through it. Not an urgent problem, since it's apparently
still there, but I still would like to know what's going on.

That's the way IMAP works.

Yes I know that, and thanks. But as I posted in the original, this
particular message was an OUTGOING message going out via a POP3 server from
one of my POP3 accounts. My Outlook is configured for six different
accounts, one of which is IMAP and the other five are POP3.

When the message was sent was an expiry date set using the options menu (where you would set read receipts etc)? This can cause a line to cross thru the message after the date has passed.
