Yet another Outlook 2007 bug. I get "sending 13 of 13" when choosing
Send/Receive except the problem is that I'm not sending any messages.
I think this happens when I'm sending one message.

And my G-d, it's slow. It hits the hard drive endlessly. Does anyone
else notice that your hard drive won't stop spinning with Outlook 2007
open?

Most of what you are calling "bugs" are most likely not. Many are probably
settings you have misconfigured.
Did you even bother to create a new profile after you upgraded? That has
always been a requirement in Outlook.

Take a look at the messages in the outbox. Is one of them larger is size
than your ISP allows. If so, go to File, choose Work Offline. Delete the
files. Close Outlook and open Outlook and again File, Work Online.
If that's not the answer, review your account settings, Tools | Account
Settings | Double click on the account, verify the settings.

What setting did I misconfigure when Outlook tells me it is sending
message 13 of 13 when I didn't create more than one message to send in
the outbox?

With regard to the profile, I followed the entire upgrade process to
the letter.

Get real. Upgrade installations never work for Outlook and never have.
Hardly a secret. Read these groups. Follow the advice that has been posted
to you twice already. Stop posting things as bugs when they apply only to
you.

So Russ, what you're saying is that the Outlook upgrade - and I did
buy the "upgrade" version - is so buggy that it doesn't work for
anybody.

"A software bug is an error, flaw, mistake, failure, or fault in a
computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended (e.g.,
producing an incorrect result)." (Wikipedia)

I'm sure I'm not the only one with the problems I'm encountering and
was hoping someone else could assist. Researching on Google to see if
I'm the ONLY one reveals that you're barking up the wrong tree:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,12...s/article.html

"an inability of Outlook to keep up with text as it is being typed and
slowness in sending and receiving e-mails"

Yep, both problems I'm having but NO ANSWERS. These aren't power users
features but basic tasks.

Your advice is invaluable. Basically I'm stuck with spending hours to
rebuild my Outlook settings the way I want them from scratch with the
hope of Outlook 2007 behaving properly -- as Outlook 2003 does very
well. If I would have know that bit of genius BEFORE I spent $450 on
the Office 2007 upgrade I never would have "upgraded."

Here's the official BUG:

I just sent 7 messages in the queue. I got "sending message 12 of 18"

Apparently for whatever reason Outlook keeps adding 11 to the total
number of messages being sent. 7+11 = 18. I have more than 11 pop
accounts in there so something is off and the number 11 is of
significance somewhere.

So Russ, is this a bug or a feature?

PMFJI, but, I'd recommend reading
http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#id270918 before you continue
to label things as bugs.

Consider it like this. When your car has a problem, does that mean that
it's a problem that should force a recall, or is it just a problem with your
car. It doesn't make it any *less* of a problem to you, but it doesn't make
it a recall. Just like what you're calling a 'bug' isn't any less of an
issue, it is just not a bug.

All of you guys are just too smart for me. RTFM. I've been doing this
just as long if not longer than many of you. The sending message
numbers in outlook 2007 are WRONG. WRONG.

If you write an application that adds up two numbers - that's all it
does -- and you get 2+1 resulting in 4 then it is a BUG. It can be a
small bug or a large bug but it is still a bug.

I've now tested send and receive. With outlook 2003 it was correctly
reporting the number of messages being sent. If I sent 2 messages I
saw "sending 2 of 2" with Outlook 2003. In Outlook 2007 I am reporting
"sending 16 of 16" which is wrong. Could there be corruption on my
machine? Perhaps but highly unlikely. Could it be that the upgrade
process has caused a problem? Thus this is a bug, whether it is the
upgrade process or the number of messages being reported sent.

This alone should not force a recall of Outlook 2007 but I'm having a
difficult time getting it to function effectively and noticing these
little but highly visible bugs that make me question the release at
this time. I've now listed some others that more research reveals have
been reported by many others with no solutions except for smart
answers on reading what is to be called a "bug" in this newsgroup.

Cool your jets. This is a public peer to peer newsgroup. That reality seems
to have escaped you. You are asking advice from volunteers who provide that
advice free of charge to you. If you choose not to follow the advice we
provide, that is your choice. When you do you, you then have no right to
bust our chops when you fail to do what we suggest. Do what we suggest or do
not post back.
