Sending e-mails
I Use Microsoft Outlook for sending & recieving e-mails. I have 3 seperate accounts with different ISP's that usually work well. One account however is insiting in sending an e-mail that doesn't exist. As a result the send & receive progress is constantly going & popping up with an error box.
There is no e-mail in the outbox, so what could it be trying to send & how do I stop it? I've tried the cancel e-mail option but as soon as I need to send legitimate e-mails again it trys to send the phantom e-mail.
Un & re-installing the account has also made no difference. Any help anyone?
Thanks!

Thanks guy's. The problem is there isn't an e-mail in my out box to send. It's a phantom e-mail that is attempting to be sent from an old e-mail account (which is not default) but that I still occasionally have e-mails sent to.
My virus software (Norton) has scanned & shown nothing.
Any other advice?
I had a problem like this, I went to the Services section of my ISP home page, then to web mail where I was able to view all incoming and outgoing mail and in my case I deleted the lot while I was in this view. This cleared a problem incoming message and the problem was cleared. Hope this helps.
