Phantom message being sent

G

Guest

My Outlook 2003 runs find but in the status tray it contiually shows a
message being sent tht doesn't exist (nothing in Outbox).

When I send an actually message the status tray shows the real message being
sent as well as the phantom mesaage. Any actual messages are sent but the one
unknown message just keeps appearing as in progress.

Viewing the details message box shows little about what is going on. Any
ideas- because of our work network I have to have two email accounts set up
and it is the work network account that the phantom mesaage is stuck on
continual send.

Thanks for reading.

this problem - it is usually caused by a read receipt.

Hi there michel, funny thing, i got exactly same problem, but with the
incomming mail. I installed to 2 of my machines the office 2003 with winxp
pro and after initial winxp install, i updated to ms office outlook. After 15
messages i notised that my login screen announced that i have 1 new message.
Same thing on both machines.

Now, my outlook shows NOTHING! nada, zip... So i wondered what the heck?
I even deleted outlook express from my system and deleted other profiles
from control panel/email profiles. (all profiles). This does not fix the
broplem.

does some1 know what to do?
* i have multiple mail accounts on both machines profiles.
* both machines are separated by 25kilometers. (not the same accounts)

Can this removal of read receipts be accomplished without the use of
Outlookspy? I would have to pay the $40+ to use it.

As a matter of fact, yes.

The above link did work for me, but it's trialware. I had the same problem
twice, a few months apart, and the second time I couldn't use it without
paying for it. But Microsoft puts out a free utility that will get the job
done. Try:
