Kevin's fix sounds like it might work too, although it's not as clean as having MS fix Outlook. Hey Darrin,

I've been too gunshy to test this out with SP2, I'll check in with my Microsoft rep and see what he can dig up. Kevin's fix sounds like it might work too, although it's not as clean as having MS fix Outlook.

I noticed this was happening when I would start outlook - seems outlook was ninja sending not read recipts - they would show up in my gmail sent items. I grabbed SP2 and installed it - but the ninja receipts continue. Did you have any success with SP2? thanks darrin Hi Corey,

I just got a flood of "Not read:" emails for the first time today whereas I am using IMAP on Outlook 2007 since Gmail did open the IMAP access! Something must have changed recently, if not I guess I would have noticed something before, no? Very strange !

If you want to use IMAP again make sure to not sync the Spam folder. Right click on the IMAP root folder, choose Synchronization Settings. Select Don't Synchronize for the spam folder. That <em>should</em> work, but I haven't tested it - I went back to POP until Office 2007 SP2 is released. @Uncle C no fix until SP2 is released, but I think if you delete the GMail account from the Mail control panel, open Outlook and then re-add it you should be fine.

Really harsh bug from Microsoft and still no fix? Then I deleted over 1K spam messages on Gmail, but I can't start Outlook; otherwise 1K "Not Read" messages will be sent all over the Internet into the grubby hands of spambot making bastards. I did a test and Apple Mail does not have this problem. No more Outlook! Lesson learned. I just found this same problem too in Outlook 2007. Really harsh bug from Microsoft and still no fix?
