Running Outlook 2003 on XP service pack 2

Sometimes I send an email and it goes to the outbox but immediately the font
in the outbox changes from italics to regular. I can sometimes move it to
the draft folder and resend and it goes correctly, other times it gets stuck
again.

When I do a send/ recieve, it never attempts to send the mail and just
ignores that it's in the outbox.

I've tried restarting Outlook, putting it into offline mode and then back to
online and also rebooting the PC to no avail. Mail sent after the mail in
question gets hung up go through with not problem.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this problem.

Any ideas?

The problem is not getting rid of the mail, the problem is that the mail
never gets sent.

I'm trying to send the mail, not delete it.

This happens with simple 80kb emails and not ones with big attachments so
size is not the problem.

As stated before, the mail does not get sent out. If I hit Send/Recieve,
Outlook reports Mail sent without attempting to send it.

I think I might have descovered the reason.

It appears that if I open the outbox to make sure the mail is there and
being sent, Outlook resets the status and turns off the "to be sent" switch.
So if I edit the email in the outbox before it gets sent, when I hit SEND,
it saves the mail to the outbox and immediately tunrs of the "to be sent"
switch because the email is highlighted in the outbox.

How can I get Outlook to stop doing this?

Stop what you are doing in the first place and trust Outlook to send it.

Well that's a BS answer if I ever heard one. Outlook is screwing up and you
have no answer.

So I suppose that I have to move the message from the outbox to the draft
folder in order to edit it. Right?

Same old crap. Outlook is broken and and you blame the user.

One cause of this can be scanning outgoing messages with an antivirus
scanner. If you do that, try disabling the mail scanner.

Listen, when you open the message to edit it, it takes off the "send" flag. When you save and close it, it does not reactivate the send flag as it does not know if you want to send it. Pressing the Send button turns the "send" flag back on. Outlook is not broken, just your knowledge of how you think it should work.

Hi !

When attempting to send Email, OR to Back-Up my Contact List, I
receive the following error..."0x08004010F Object cannot be found". I
want to Back-Up my Contact List, and "Un-Hang" the Email System. I
believe Ms. Millie Staples knows what to do; but I'm not a pro at this,
and can't generate another profile as was suggested on another
website...msusenet something or other. Can you help me a little more
please ? Thank You ! P.S. This problem just started-up two days ago
after almost 2 years of no problems whatsoever. My Road Runner ISP had
some problems; but that's the only unusual thing I noticed. When the
Emails Lock-Up, my Digital Phone is also locked-up. Road Runner tells
me that it's not their problem that has caused this; so I simply wanted
to find out how to re-install Outlook 2003 version 11.8010.8036 SP 2.
