Yes you are right. The problem only occurs when user clicks the Outbox
folder then create a new mail. No problem if user has not highlighted the
Outbox.
Once the mail is stalled, no matter how many times you click Send and
Receive button, it will stay there forever, even after user move to other
folder or restart Outlook. You have to delete it, and create an new mail.
What can I do then? Tell user not to select Outbox, or unselect the Outbox
programmatically if user does that?
