Carl, thanks for replying. I should have mentioned that we are in a POP3 environment, so no Exchange of any sort. It appears that the "blank" emails are "left over" from "real" outgoing messages, as best I can tell. I'll have to double-check on the Outlook patches/updates.

Are they being created spontaneously? Is this something that can be fixed by user instruction to "don't do that"? Is there Exchange 2003 in the mix? A Exchange 2003 CAL licenses you for OL 2003. Otherwise make sure you have the latest Office 2000 SP and any hotfixes that you can find (Slipstick.com good source for figuring out what's out there). Carl -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 13, 2010 10:26 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Outlook 2000 issue I've got a user who's having a minor issue with his Outlook 2000 (yes, some folks are still using that ancient version... no money for upgrades yet!) Whenever he goes to close his Outlook, he's got at least one "blank" message in his Outbox, even though Outlook is configured to send emails immediately whenever it's "online" (and it's never "offline" unless he accidentally sets it to "offline.") Anyone ever seen that issue before and have a solution? I am trying to get everyone upgraded to a more modern version of MS Office, but it's not easy and it's not going to happen tomorrow. :-/ Probably better to take this off-list, so please email me directly.
