Outlook problem

[domsq]

Hey guys

I have a weird problem with my PC currently. While I'm busy compiling an email, Outlook will sometimes just automatically send the message before I've even finished typing it!

Needless to say, this is rather frustrating. I don't have any viruses\spyware, so what the heck could be causing it?

damn this must suck. is it a particular combination of keys you are pressing? Alt+S sends out the message. is your ALT key busted? depressed permanently.

in the meanwhile, don't type in the sender's address until AFTER you're done typing the message completely.

Good advice. I had problems with Outlook several years ago and switched to Mozilla Thunderbird and couldn't be happier.

Open Tools, and Options, and uncheck SEND MAIL IMMEDIATELY WHEN CONNECTED.

Sorry for the thread resurrection, but I worked out what the problem actually was... my hand was brushing my laptop's touchpad, when the cursor happened to be sitting on or near the 'Send' button
