Hello

Several times one of my emails stays in the outbox and Microsoft
Outlook 2003 just sends the samre email again and again without
deleting it or moving it to the send folder.
Most of the time it works fine but a few times a week it just wont
remove the mail from the outbox.
I have tried cleaning up all my folders by deleting a lot of old
items, empting the deleted items fold and such things but nothing
seems to work.
Any ideas what could be wrong?

Best regards,
Michael

what type of email acct do you use? are you using antivirus scanner on
outgoing email?

I corrected this problem on a machine that was running Outlook
Express. I just deleted the outbox.dbx from C:\Documents and Settings\
%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Identities\
{identity folder}\outbox.dbx. The problem here though is that you are
using Outlook 2k3 which stores everything in a PST file. Try running
Tools | Options | Mail Setup | Data Files highlight the file that is
your Personal Folders (the comment should say "Mail delivery
location" and then click Settings | Compact Now

You are kidding of course. What does this have to do with emails being duplicated when sending.Most likely it is caused by some Anti Virus or Anti Phising filter being set to scan on incoming and outgoing emails.
