Major flaw in Outlook 2007: emails stuck in outbox
There is a major bug in Outlook 2007 whereby the emails get stuck in the
Outbox and I'm not aware that they are stuck, unless I check the Outbox folder. I searched this on Google and LOTS of others are having the EXACT same problem. I'm running on Vista x64, very latest updates, otherwise stable system and everything is about as plain-vanilla about my setup as can possibly be. Is Microsoft interested in fixing this or just going to ignore it? |

Its not a bug with Outlook, its caused by something on your system, often a
third party antivirus application "scorpionleather" wrote in message ...

My AntiVirus software is NOD32 v2.7. I just unchecked the "scan outgoing
email" box and will see if it happens again. Thanks for the tip DL. But since this is such a common problem then AntiVirus software makers should start talking with Microsoft about making better hooks into the API. |

Yes it does but that warning is often useless, because I don't close Outlook, I leave it running all the time like most other people do. Then two days later, when wonder why people aren't responding, I realize a whole bunch of emails are stuck. Nice. |

DL: Disactivating NOD32 email scanning did not fix it. Emails are still
stuck in the Outbox. What else could it be? Maybe a Microsoft programmer glitch that is still affecting users? |

Generally send/receive problems are cused by third party addins.
To test, reboot your PC into safe mode, does outlook then fuction correctly? If so it means a third party background application is causing the problem "scorpionleather" wrote in message ...

Hmmm...I run Outlook 2007 on Vista 64 and have never had that problem.
What kind of mail server are you connecting to? POP3? IMAP? If you Send/Receive manually do they go? I'm curious to hear what the Safe Mode experiment reveals for you. -- -Ben- Ben M.

Peter, if I exit Outlook and then start Outlook again the stuck messages are
sent. The proposed solutions in the article are much worse than just restarting Outlook. But the whole point is that I shouldn't have to re-start Outlook when I discover that messages supposed to be sent two days ago were never sent. |
