You don't say what you are actually doing when you 'sleep' the machine. If you don't save the message as a draft then it will sit in the Outbox. If there is a message in the out box the next time your computer does a Send & Receive it will send what is in Outbox. The new message does not sit in Inbox, even if you are replying to something. So when you get your messages you are also sending your messages. Do you leave the incomplete message's window open when you sleep? -- Matthew Smith -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
