Hiyas

The holiday season, great eh! A small part is computer problem solving at the parents place.. My dad has a few mail accounts, one of which he can only receive mail with. He received a mail where the sender asked a 'confirmation mail' as we've all experienced.. However, on that account, he can't send any mail so it seems to try and send the mail every time he presses send/receive.

It is kinda annoying. It *seems* to be this unable to send confirmation mail causes the error.. But these mails aren't in the outbox so I can't seem to stop outlook trying to send this unsendable confirmation..

Arg!! any ideas?

IIRC, Outlook has a setting where you can choose whether you want to send confirmation emails. (Can't give more details, coz I only have Outlook on my PC at work.)

Setting that to off should solve the problem. However, it could be a global setting, so Outlook might stop sending confirmation mails for all accounts.

EDIT: You can find the option here (Outlook 2003, English):
Menu "Tools" -> "Options ..."
First tab ("Preferences")
Click button "E-mail Options ..."
Click button "Tracking Options ..."
Select the second radio button "Never send a response"
