A client of mine was concerned that she had a spam bot or something along
those lines, because when she does a Send/Receive in Outlook, the status bar
reports that it is sending 1 of thousands of emails. Her outbox is empty.
I didn't believe it until I saw it myself--I thought she was referring to
the file size progress that shows up in the Status Bar during a Send/Receive.
But it's not reporting the size in kb of incoming/outgoing messages; it
literally (and erroneously) says, "Sending 1 of 326713" in the status bar as
though it is actually sending hundreds of thousands of emails, which it's
not.
The only time we see this message is when *receiving* email, and the number
of emails (allegedly) being sent varies depending on the size of the email
being *received*. The 320,000+ number was consistently reported when she was
receiving an email with a ~900k attachment. Receiving a small text file
attachment changed the number to 2700 or so. I could duplicate this
behavior/status-message easily by sending test messages with attachments of
varying sizes to this account.
This is not a simple read-receipt issue, nor is her machine infected with
any virus/bot/malware/adware/etc. It has current antiviurs and has been
thoroughly checked with every tool under the sun. I also ran the Inbox
repair tool to no avail. I'm stumped...
Thanks in advance for any help.
