Repeating email
 

I have Outlook Express 6 and I keep receiving the same email over and over.
When I start up it begins downloading and after about 15 seconds the modem
stops blinking and the CPU shoots to 100% usage and the ccapp.exe file is
seemingly the one using it. I don't know if this is a Norton problem or an
Outlook Express problem. After about 5 minutes the email server terminates
the connection possibly due to inactivity.

I've restarted and blocked the address on the sender's list but every time I
start up it starts downloading the message again. If I let it go it will
repeat over and over.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

If still no joy, do you have Web access to your e-mail? there is probably
one large message causing this. Or you can try this:

From: "Bruce Hagen"
Subject: Message Rule - Size To Delete Incoming
Date: Monday, December 25, 2006 1:34 PM

Create a Message Rule:

Where the message size is more than size
Delete it from Server
Click on Size and set it for 25KB.
Click: Apply Now.

Go back to the Inbox and click Send/Receive. This should get rid of the
message.

Remember to go back into Message Rules and either delete the rule, or
uncheck it so you can use it in the future.

Thanks for the speedy reply Bruce. I'll give them all a try.

I just re-read your OP. You know the address of the sender? If none of the
other choices work, create a rule. Blocked Senders only moves the message to
the deleted Items folder, so it still has to be downloaded.

Message Rule:

Where the From line contains people
Delete it from server (Not Delete it).
Click on contains and add the address

Try now.
