An interesting MS Outlook 2K problem

Well, its not really a problem.. just an interesting item...

My Outlook is able to check to see whether I have email when it's not open... This really isn't a problem, as it means I don't need to run Outlook to be notified if I have mail... but the problem is if I get lots of mail.. It seems that Outlook spawns a copy of itself whenever I get new mail, so I end up with 50 letter icons in my system tray and 49 copies of Outlook.exe running under Task manager...

If anyone has seen this, and knows a fix, please share..

I first noticed it happening after I used the Windows Update around 4 or so weeks ago.. New feature or annoying memory hog? you tell me...

Sounds like a new microsoft "feature" [a.k.a. bug] in Outlook!!!

Yes...

Uh huh...

So I see what your getting at, have you tried useing an Anti-Viral
program such as McAfee or Norton?

Oh...you got it from a Microsoft Update...

...Did you scan it before opening it...

Well even if it does come from Microsoft you should always scan before...

Ah I see...

OH...your talking about OUTLOOK?!

Ah, one moment, let me connect you to channel 4 so you can talk with our Mail-Director-Assistant.

I have other thing. It is a cool thing. If want to send an e-mail to block someone's e-mail address then you should do the following: Open the Outlook express -----> then go to the tools----->accounts---->Properties----->Advanced, then you will see down the word "send" you put tick to the following and put it to 24KB when you go to send an e-mail with attachement more than 24KB then you will send many e-mails. Try it.
