Outlook745
We're using Outlook 2003 on Windows XP. We have DSL so access is not slow.

One of my users sent an email with large attachments to a large number of

recipients. The recipients all received several copies of the email (7 that

I know of), and after 30 mins or so it was still sending and I couldn't

remove it from the outbox. I was able to get it out of the outbox by going

offline and deleting it then, but I need to know why it sent 7+ times.

There was no error message that I know of. The user insists on having an

automatic send/receive every 1 minute. would that have something to do with

it?

A send/receive interval of one minute is way too short and, indeed, can lead

to problems such as you describe. The recommended minimum is 10 minutes.

The problem can also be caused by scanning outgoing mail with an antivirus

scanner, a real waste of time, since such a scanner can never detect an

outgoing virus (or it would have already detected it on your PC before you

ever composed the message).

That is what I thought.



Thanks Brian.
