Outlook Express sends multiple e-mails in error

[robertel34]

I use Windows XP-SPII, Internet Explorer 8 and Outlook Express.

My current problem is that:
after attaching a photo and an MS Word document to my e-mail and pressing
"send", Outlook Express proceeds to send 42
e-mails instead of just that one e-mail.

Of course I cancelled that process, but each time I repeat it, OE wants to
send the same incorrect number of messages.

One friend, to whom I sent the e-mail originally, reported that:
1) he had received 36 copies of my e-mail and
2) he could not open the attachments.

I checked on the latter aspect by accessing the copy in my "sent" folder and
found that I could access and read the e-mail AND its attachments without any
problem.
The "sent" folder also recorded only ONE e-mail as having been sent, despite
the 42 actually sent the day before.

Does anyone have a solution for my "multiple e-mails" problem?

Thanks,

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.outlookexpress.general (for OE 6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click

Good luck!

Disable your anti virus from checking your emails. It redundant, not
necessary and can create problems like the one your experiencing.
