Immortal message problem

For 3 months now I have had a message in my e-mail account that will not die.  I'm trying to figure out if this board keeps resending it or if Outlook is resurrecting it.

By "this board", do you mean this very forum ?

What is your e-mail service ? Actually microsoft outlook ? If it's something else yet you're using the Outlook application/program, try entering directly through the site.

Try logging directly on the site even if it is Outlook. I've had similar problems at work before, tuns out I was deleting the message on the Outlook software, but for some reason the server was keeping it, so it kept being received. When I logged in on the website and deleted it from there, it was gone for good.

From what I remember of Outlook, and pretty much all manner of other clients, there's a configuration setting which makes it so that email is purged from the server after it's pulled down locally to the client. That way, once grabbed from the server it's gone... but not gone on your local client until you manually purge it..... then it's gone gone.

If this board is the resending culprit, maybe tell us what the email content is in reference to, so that someone can direct you to the appropriate account/profile settings.

I mean outlook.com, not the program Outlook.  It's not a sync problem between the server and the client.

And for some reason I never got an e-mail notification about replies in this thread, I only saw the reply when I came here to reply to a notification about another thread.
