MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / September 2007why are multiple emails being sent when I have an an attachment
I am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. When I send an email with an attachment it keeps sending it until I delete it from the Outbox. It stays there saying it is sending while the recipient receives copy after copy of the same message.In one case about 50 were snet within a half hour period before I realised. It never transfers to the Sent folder. Hi Try checking if the same email account is set up mutliple times in outlook by going to tools ->options->email accounts->view or change exsisting email accounts . If that is the case highlight one of the duplicate email accounts and click on remove or delete . If that is not the case then try creating a new profile by following the steps below 1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. If you are not in Classic view, click Switch to Classic View, and then double-click Mail. 3. Click Show Profiles. 4. Click Prompt for a profile to be used, and then click Add. 5. In the Profile Name box, type a descriptive name for the new profile, and then click OK. 6. Click Add a new e-mail account, and then click Next. 7. Click the appropriate server type for your new e-mail account, and then click Next. 8. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen, and then click Finish. PS : Before opening outlook make sure the option called "Always use this profile is selected and the profile name should be that of the new profile that you created If this step works to get back all your old data follow the steps in this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290859/en-us > I am using Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.

But when I went to that link, I cannot see how to get across all the information I need from the old profile. I also have two email addresses set up that receive emails on Outlook. When I set up the new profile I cannot find the other address any more. > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > the same message.In one case about 50 were snet within a half hour period > > before I realised.

Next, lengthen the server timeout value on the Advanced tab of your account properties dialogue. Finally, make sure your Send/Receive interval is no less than about ten minutes.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I would like to know the answer as well as I have the same problem. Recipients get up to 100 emails. It seams to do the repeat send until the message is finally move from the outbox. It appears to happen mostly when my connection to the internet is slow.
