I'm using outllok 2007 and have an email service where i can recieve
messages but not reply or send. i received a message with a read
receipt request which i said yes to. now i have a message buried
inside outllok which it can't send and hence gives me send errors but
i can't see or delete the offending message. any ideas?
Configure Outlook to ALWAYS ignore read reciepts (i.e., never send
them). Then you won't even get prompted about it.
Read receipts are hidden by Outlook in the Outbox folder, and Outlook
has problems sending read receipts which gets them stuck in the Outbox
folder (where you can't see them). This doesn't just happen in your
case where your account doesn't let you send e-mails through that
account. It happens in general with Outlook regarding read receipts
even for accounts that do allow sending e-mails.
One method of getting rid of hidden stuck read receipts is to use
Outlookspy. See
http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/delete_rr.htm.
Outlookspy isn't free. It expires after its month trial period. It is
fully functional during that trial period, so fix your problem. Then
reconfigure Outlook's tracking options so it doesn't happen again.
MDBVU32.EXE from Microsoft is free but a more difficult to use. Read
