Outlook 2007 - Sending message 5 of 5
|

Thread rating:  |
rodehall - 09 Aug 2007 10:26 GMT I have recently upgraded my MSO2K3 installation to 2007 on a Vista Ultimate platform. Every time i send a SINGLE email (by clicking on send / receive) the Outlook status bar in the BRHC reports. "Sending message 5 of 5". This behaviour is consistent and repeatable. Thoughts? Thanks Rod
rodehall - 09 Aug 2007 10:36 GMT Some further info... This seems to be realted to the number of accounts set up in the system. I have removed 3 accounts and now the message says "Sending message 2 of 2". I also have some rules set up to copy mails to other folders. Could this be part of the problem?

If this is necessary why is there no mention of it during the upgrade process (or indeed why doesn't it happen automatically?)
b.) I created new profile and added all the accounts. Tried a test send...behaviour just as it was...sending 5 of 5!

Outlook 2007 miscounts the number of outgoing messages when you have multiple accounts. It's not, however, actually trying to send too many messages.

Don Wms - 27 Sep 2007 22:09 GMT Email even from home users needs to be auditable. If I send 12 messages, I expect my mail program to properly report that number. Otherwise, I don't trust it. That would be one way to detect that something is sneaking messages (stealing my info, bandwidth, etc.?) out.

My outbox is empty, but it reports "Sending message n of m". As a matter of security, all email products (esp. a flagship product like Outlook) should provide a method to journal header info on all messages (including the various read receipts, handshakes, etc.) sent and received. The Outlook's troubleshooting logs do not seem to contain that information.

DId you look to see if you have undeliverable read receipts? http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/deletereadreceipt.htm

Don Wms - 27 Sep 2007 22:01 GMT My outbox is empty. I expect read receipts, etc. to be placed in the outbox (for security and transparency there should be NO hidden messages, period).
Who runs www.howto-outlook.com? I don't download anything from a site that I'm not familar with.

Nonetheless, receipts are hidden messages and you won't see them in the Outbox

Don Wms - 28 Sep 2007 02:26 GMT Thanks, I'll give that I try.
I apoligize for being too abrupt. Being a mainframe system's programmer for 30 years, where in the mainframe world, nothing is hidden from the the system's programmers, and everything is expected to be RAS (Reliable, Available, and Secure), period.

Don Wms - 28 Sep 2007 16:31 GMT Good point. I should have noticed that it was from Microsoft. Yes, I trust Microsoft as much as I trust IBM, HP, etc. They all have a public image that they want to maintain. All are trying to maximize their profits , but you better read the fine print in their agreements, etc. Of course, bad behavior slips into even these companies, but they tend to get corrected. Alas, I'm drifting off the forum's topic.

Don Wms - 28 Sep 2007 17:00 GMT The utility seems to be for an Exchange environment (which I'm not), but I tried executing it anyway. The logon screen has the word NULL and it does not proceed for there.
Thanks,
