Re: Emails with Invalid Addresses

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Are these spam messages? Can you receive regular mail? Send a test to yourself and see what happens. Irregardless, do the following for starters.

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for lose of messages. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
