Using Outlook XP 2002 with message tracking options set to notify me of
emails i've sent that are read.

Yesturday had several hundred emails with the

subject: "Not read: Subject"
& body of the email "your message
to: fist lastname subject: ........
sent: 01/04/2005

was deleted without being read on 09/05/2007.
------------------

All these notification in a lot of cases are several years old and wonder
after all this time a whole load arrive all at once yesturday?

Much appreciate responses

It sounds like an issue outside the scope of Outlook unless they were
residing on the server and Outlook downloaded them all at once. Check the
headers to see what has happened.

I got that kind of email (from my boss) every now and then but not in the
hundreds. It's more like 10-20 of them and yes, some of them are over a year
old. It turns out that my boss never reads his email (I've seen his
mailbox - thousands of unread mail sits there). He cleans his mailbox when
it hits the limit. That's when I receive "Not read:" email from him Smile

Not
sure if your problem is the same though.

100's come in a short period because that is when the recipient deleted
them.
