Outlook 2003 keeps trying to send emails but don't have any to sen

[Andrew Hay]

Hi, I have a strange problem which is that my MS Office Outlook 2003 keeps
trying to send emails but I don't have any to send!!!
At the bottom it says Sending 1 of 1,2 or 3 messages!! But there is nothing
to send!! The out box is empty!! The out boxes on Yahoo, Gmail etc are
empty....In fact every folder is empty!!!
I have several email accounts using Outlook but everything seems to be sent
OK and received. Sometimes I get a error code 553...address not verified!! Or
that the server took longer to answer than it should have taken. And these
errors messages are a pain.
I have scanned with my Anti-virus and Anti Spy programs (Spybot, Adaware,
The Anti spy in Zone Alarm and AVG Anti Spy) and some online scanners
(Bitdefender, Windows Onecare, Kaspersky, Pandasoftware) but apart from a few
cookies (which have been deleted) Nothing shows up!!
I am using a Windows Xp Pro Sp2

Dear Kathleen
I'd just like to thank you for the time you have taken to answer this
puzzling problem I had.... Several people said that it was a virus or some
spyware but as I said in my post....nothing showed out of the norm.

This worked a treat but was a little confusing at first until I read that
the message had to also be highlighted in the other window not just the first.
Anyway Just to say thank you very much.
Have a nice day or night!!
