Hello,

Outlook has phantom emails it tries to send when executing a send/receive.

There are no files in the outbox. Yet Send/Receive says "sending 1 of 13"
until it finally times out.

Any thoughts? I have backed up and rebooted with no joy.

Possible undeliverable read receipts. See this:

However, there can be other causes. Unless you state your Outlook version,
account type(s) and number of accounts, there's no way to tell.
