How many email accounts are in your profile? Outlook 2007 has a problem
counting outgoing messages when there are multiple accounts in the profile.

Otherwise, check for read receipts - see

Hello all,

My Outlook is sending hidden messages (as indicated by the status bar)
when I don't have any, or sometimes one message, in my Outbox. They
shouldn't be read receipts from legitimate Email, because I usually
haven't opened any mail that contains receipt requests (I get VERY little
mail from unknown sources, so I would know). I first noticed this when
sending one piece of mail, and the status bar said sending 1 of 2
messages. Sometimes when I send one message it will start with "Sending
message 2 of 3," then go to 3 of 3, and only then do the one message I am
actually sending, which is 1 of 3. I can tell which message is the one I
am intentionally sending by the fact of when it moves from the Outbox
folder. No messages ever appear in the Outbox or Sent Items folders,
other than the messages I am intentionally sending.

Any opinions on this would be appreciated. I was thinking one of you
young computer hackers might have written a patch that forces Outlook to
display every single message being sent, whether a receipt or not, in the
Outbox folder. Not sure why that wouldn't be a useful anti-spam option
for MS to put on Outlook from the factory.

By the by, I really doubt I picked up a virus or tracker with my
daily-updated AV software and routine business-only browsing habits, but I
suppose you never know.. Submitted using http://www.outlookforums.com
