Outlook 2003 trying to send non-existent e-mail

[Gary Watts]

When Outlook is sending/receiving it is attempting to send an e-mail that
does not exist i.e. has not been created and does not reside in the Outbox.
It will send any e-mails that have been correctly issued but continues in
attempting to action the non-existent e-mail. This phantom sending process
will continue until manually cancelled.

Any clues on the cause / solution.

Thanks,

Could it be a read receipt?

I'm having the same problem, but I don't think it's related to read
receipts...because it's happening even when there is no incoming email...any
suggestions welcome. Thanks

It doesn't have anything to do with new incoming mail. It has to do with
that once a read receipt has been sent out which is still stuck in Outlook.
Use the guide to verify if you indeed don't have a stuck read receipt
message.
