Hi,



I downloaded my messages using the option "send and receive all".

However, the "Show Progress" box indicates that I was also 'sending something'.

But I had nothing to send!

I look in the "Sent items' folder and nothing was sent at this time.



What was Outlook 2003 doing?

The usual response here is, "You have a virus". It could

be that a virus program is using your Outlook to send spam

and/or a copy of itself to people in your address book.



I hope this is not the case, but please have the foresight

(aftersight?) to look into this potential problem.

Thanks Bob,



I checked and I have no virus.

I also run a anti-spyware then I download the messages with Outlook and the

ghost sending was still there.

What else could it be?

A bug?

Was it really sending something or did the dialog show a send and receive

status? The status display may appear that something is sent, but it's

really not sending anything. Also - if you read messages with read receipts,

those are stored as hidden messages and outlook would send them on the

next send.
