Empty Outbox...Outlook wants to send anyway...

[Stephen Porter]

Hi,

I have a machine running Outlook 2003. Everytime the user closes Outlook,
a dialog pops up saying that "There are unsent messages in the Outbox...do
you want to exit anyway?" However, there are no unset messages in the
Outbox. It's a minor annoyance to answer "No" and let Outlook close, but
it would be nice to clean this up. Something probably got stuck in a
crash??? I dunno, but any pointers appreciated.

Best regards,

Perhaps unsent read receipts. See if this helps:
