Outlook Express sending multiple copies
Asked Oct 28, 2006, 01:01 PM

24 Answers For the past 3 days I have had problems with Outlook Express. When I send an email or respond to an email, it goes out (I can see the Nortan scanning window) and then automatically goes into my outbox and every time I check mail, it sends it out again and again and again. A friend told me that she got 42 copies of one of my emails. Althoug the email goes out (repeatedly) it never shows up in the SENT mail box. I have had to go itno the Outbox after each email and delete the smeil or move it to Drafts. It won't even allow me to drag it to sent mail. Neil |

| Try this, it worked for me. On your OE got to Tools>accounts>mailtab>double click the account name>advanced tab Uncheck the box marked "Break apart messages....." Hope this helps. | ||||

| I tried making that change and breaking apart the messages. Still no luck! Thanks for your suggestion, however. This is a weird problem. Neil | ||||

| Sounds like your computer has a mind of its own. You said you were running Norton so that should have picked up any viruses I hope. Still, check out http://pcpitstop.com/pcpitstop/default.asp There is a free online virus and spyware scan that might pick something up. PG | ||||

| Mind of its own, indeed. I have tried the those scan and spyware detection programs and still with the same result. I am going to delete my Norton program and reinstall to see if that works. Meanwhile, I have to keep remembering to manually delete each email I send. I forgot yesterday and sent a friend of mine 76 copies of the same email. He called me on the phone and said, "I know that the email you sent was important and you wanted me to respond ASAP, but did you really have to keep reminding me every 3 minutes?" Ah, technology! | ||||

| I am having the SAME EXACT problem as NeilScott. Don't feel bad! I was just directed here from another OE forum, and have tried compacting files and doing what PG mentioned above. If you have any other suggestions for this pproblem, let us know. NeilS, I useCharter for my broadband ISP...what are you using? | ||||

| Welcome to computer hell, Daniel! Ground Hog day, etc. NO ONE seems to be able to figure this out. So --- I have to pay close attention when I send email, so that I immediately go to my outbox and delete what I just sent, otherwise, it's repeat city! I am still searching other sources and if I come up with something, I'll let you know. | ||||

| Thanks NS (hope I can call you that!), but keep me in mind, and informed. We are in the exact SAME BOAT. By the way, who is your internet provider? Mine is Charter. Also, have you tried to uninstall & reinstall OE? I am afraid to....I have a ton of emails & addresses I'd hate to lose! | ||||
| |
| ||||
| My provider is Comcast. I'm pretty certain that has nothing to do with the problem. I can go to their webmail site and send and retrieve without a problem. I have not reinstalled OE for the same reason: I can't afford to lose email or addresses. Are you using Norton email scanning? | ||||
| |
| ||||
| Yes, I use Norton...but even though I unchecked the box saying to scan outgoing messages, the problem is still happening...this is getting frustrationg! | ||||
