Troubleshooting Outlook Express. Help!

Asked by Val123 (12734points) February 5th, 2010

OK. I spent two hours on the phone with ATT technical, and we got nowhere, so this is a last gasp.

This morning I went to send a few emails, and they started piling up in my outbox, which was strange because it’s not like they were big emails. Then I started getting an error message that said they couldn’t be sent and see the errors listed below to troubleshoot. Problem was, there WERE no errors listed. It was blank. The next thing I know I get a response from someone I’d sent an email to asking if I realized that I’d sent it 12 times! Well, this was news to me.

What’s happening is the system thinks it can’t send the messages for some unknown reason, when actually it IS sending them, but it keeps “trying” to send them….over and over again. And they ARE being sent….

Via the techs, I restored my default settings for the computer and I restored email back to Jan 15. No luck. Nothing.

So now I’m supposed to get with Microsoft and…I do not have a great feeling about THAT!

Do any of you have any suggestions, thoughts or advice? Have you ever experienced this?

Everything else in email works just fine.

Using Fluther

or

Using Email

Separate multiple emails with commas.
We’ll only use these emails for this message.
