Anyone else get this weird e-mail today?
 

Got a very strange behaving e-mail today. Never opened it. It had no subject line, no body message, no sender and no recipient being displayed. Went into the junk mail bin and then to trash.

Now if I click into the junk mail bin, even after being moved to trash and permenantly deleted, it appears again.

It has a weird date on it 12/31/1969 7PM.

I ran VirusScan and Ad-Aware on my system and nothing was found.

Any ideas how it keeps coming back?? Not doing anything malicious other than reappearing.

its from a time traveler

might have written to the registry.
I know adware and spyware does that.

It happens ocassionally.....actually I also asked about it on GFY few months ago, and people also said that it happens but there's no clear explanation.

I simply dont open mail when there's no sender and no topic.

its a wrong mail
can only be deleted straight on the mailserver.
Cant be deleted through outlook.
This mostly happens after a database clearance or fix at the mailserver.

Is that date significant for anything??

Sorry I had to do this to you KRL.. But I went back in time and bought men.com and porno.com right when Al Gore invented the internet. I figured I'd send you an E-mail while I was there.

Its not reappearing in my IN box, just after JUNK has been cleared if I click back into junk after showing its gone from the delete it is back in JUNK.

:1orglaugh

yeah and if you open it you'll get sucked into your monitor and sent back to '69 the only way to get back is to send the same email to someone else... i only know this cause it happened to me last week. good thing my dog saw the whole thing and was able to send an email to get me back...

IMAP mail? I've got 4 deleted mails stuck in my Inbox which always appear as unread. I've tried deleting them off in the web mail version of the IMAP so of course they don't appear there, just in my Outlook. Go figure...

OK got rid of it now.

Compacting both the JUNK and TRASH folders permenantly removed any trace of it.

Try doing what I did Kimmy. I've never used the COMPACT FOLDER feature before but what it does is completely and thoroughly clean out a mail folder.

I'm set to auto compact and to purge on exit already, so I guess it's not going away -- thanks for the idea tho!

same problem. Ask your it guy to remove them from the server. Sometimes whem you can access your email through webmail you can delete them there.

That means you're going to die.... Soon...

:(

Be prepared.

Kimmy, i guessed you missed my epass thread. Is there anyone on icq i can talk to? I tried mailing but it takes wayyy too long.

Thanks.

Assume that email is no longer on the server. In fact it left when you 1st received the email? What email software r u using on the server side?

Prolly another Microsoft glitch?

default date for unix systems, not sure if its for all systems but I manage some high end database servers running solaris and they default to that date when frst installed

Thunderbird (Mozilla)

Its all gone now. Compacting the IN, TRASH, and JUNK folders seem to do the trick.

HACKER ATTACK!!@!!

No but I got a ridiculous amount of viruses :BangBang: Bastards...guess I gotta switch to Thunderbird

Forward me the email and let me have a look at it -- I'm really only sales for business accounts, but for you, I'll do what I can to help :)
