Outlook sending Duplicates through GoDaddy IMAP accounts

Symptoms:         Outgoing Outlook 2007 sent through some IMAP servers get stuck in your local Outbox despite the fact that the email has actually gone out repeatedly.  This will continue until your Outbox is empty or you fully exit Outlook.  Restarting Outlook alone does not fix the problem.

Temp work a round:

  1. Drag email item from local Outbox to sent Items or Drafts.  If it is stuck you may have to disconnect your internet connection long enough to move the email.
  2. Exit Outlook.  Make sure Outlook is not listed in your Task Manager (right click task Bar, Task Manager, Processes Tab, Outlook.exe,  end process)
  3. Instead of outlook use your phone or perhaps webmail at http://email.secureserver.net
