I've got Outlook 2002 SP2 installed and to be honest I have always had
problems that occassionally messages will get stuck in the Outbox. The
status window will tell me that all messages have been sent successfully but
sometimes one or more messages will obstinately stay in the Outbox.
Invariably, if I click Send/Receive a few times it eventually goes, so I
know its nothing to do with my settings or the ISP. In fact with same
settings this problem NEVER appears in Outlook Express - its only Outlook
that's got this bug. Worse still, is that while MOST times the message has
not been sent until it moves to my "Sent Items" folder, on the odd occassion
I find out it had gone and I'm inadvertently resending it when I click
send/receive again, and thereby annoy people by sending the same message a
few times!

In past few days this problem has got much worse as I'm finding it often
takes several clicks of "send/receive" or "send all" before a message will
move to the sent items folder. I've also got Norton Internet Security
(firewall and antivirus) installed and have tried disabling them when the
problem occurs, but it makes absolutely no difference.Have posted before
about this but nobody has suggested a solution as yet. Please help me
someone!!!
