Personal Outlook Migration – sends hundreds of emails on importing?

[briggsb]

Hi,
Ive used Personal Outlook Migration tools successfully in the past (great tool BTW, and free!)

I’ve used it today for a user wanted his old emails from his last job importing into GroupWise.

I set it up and ran it, and off it went…

The next thing I know, our SMTP gateway (GroupWise Internet Agent 7.0.2) is sending emails rapidly, with the subject suffixes always the same…

“ opened “

What happened? Anybody experienced this before? It sent over 400 emails in about 15 minutes, and no doubt would of kept going.

It’s bad news, obviously all these addresses now know of the new address of the user. These emails were some sort of notification, they weren’t original emails?

HELP!
Thanks
Alan

The problem you mention is likely to be due to an Outlook client setting, which is referred to in the following link. The Personal Outlook Migration Pack does not perform any delivery notification processing or change any existing settings.

Hope this helps.
