The scoop:

I basically have a fortress on my PC (WinXP Pro with all updates except SP2) ... NIS and ZA run 100% of the time. I run serveral anti-spyware programs, I have every possible security tool turned on with my wireless conneciton. I'm on Insight Cable Broadband.

About a week ago, I used my laptop to email myself a message that had embedded HTML (from a excel spreadsheet that I created). All of a sudden, two days ago ... Outlook was overwhelmed with non-stop CONSTANT icoming email ... all of which are that one email I sent myself about a week ago. It won't stop ... and each email is 2MB in size. It reminds me of a denial of servcie trick or something.

I called and talked with Insight Communications, but they only support Outlook Express. They did say that they felt it was a corrup Outlook.pst file.

I ran the Inbox Repair Tool (scanpst.exe) and it found corruption and fixed it. However, the same problem exists. I tried re-installing Outlook 2003 and all updates, but the same problem exists.

I can logon to Outlook on my laptop, and my Insightbb email works fine ... with no email queue.

Thoughts? Right now, I'm hosed ... stuck in the water.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
