Outlook 2007 shows "sending 6 of 6" when onlyl one being sent.

[Lawman1947]

My Outlook 2007 frequently shows a message that says "sending 6 of 6
messages" when in fact I am only sending or forwarding one message to
one recipient.

I have set the account up NOT to respond to read receipts, so that
shouldn't be what is causing this (i.e., it could be sending read
receipts to spam that I receive but I doubt it unless it is over-riding
my preferences.)

I have fears that it is spamming (?) w/o my knowledge, but all scans
for trojans or virsuses are negative. Any ideas?

How many accounts are in outlook? There is a bug where it can't count
correctly. If you have 6 accts, this is probably the cause.

Are any of the accounts IMAP and if so, do you (or the server) delete junk
mail outside of outlook? There is a bug that causes outlook to send not read
receipts. The people who are affected usually have a lot more than 6
receipts go out.

I do have six (6) email accounts in my Outlook, all POP3. Is there a
patch from Microsoft for this bug? Should I even worry about it?

Thanks much. Bob

I believe it's fixed in the SP2 update (available now as the Cumulative
update from Feb) but other than being wrong and confusing people, its not
something to worry about.

I have a similar problem. I go to send one e-mail and I see Sending 3 of 3
or something like that. I just live with it ... and my Outlook 2007 is up
to date, by the way.

I believe I first saw this glitch when I either reinstalled Outlook or did a
diagnostic where I was prompted to reinstall using the original disk.

At least I'm not alone with this. Dave Horne
