My outbox is empty, but I get a message in the bottom of my screen saying it
is sending mail (3). Any ideas?

Possibly undeliverable read receipts.  See if this helps:

Thanks, Brian. That took care of the problem. Is there anyway to keep it from
happening again?

Was the receipt trying to be sent from an account you no longer have?

I don't know. I didn't look at the messages. My bad. Anyway, the situation
seems to be corrected, thanks to your help. It was kinda weird seeing outlook
sending messages that weren't in my outbox.

I'll try to pay more attention next time. Thanks again for you assistance.

Hi Brian:

I also have a message that is continually trying  to be sent from an account
that has a disabled send function.  So I downloaded MDBVU32 and went through
the process of deleting the message directly, following someone else's
directions.

However, the message continues trying to be sent even though there is still
nothing in the outbox.   Now when I go into MDBVU32, there is no message that
appears (since I deleted it).

I think the problem is that I omitted the lpMDB->AbortSubmit()  step, so the
message might still be trying to be submitted even though it was deleted?

How can I stop this now from still continually trying to be sent?

Thanks, Harlan
