The trail of sent messages with subject beginning "Not Read" is constant nauseous reminder that my email address is making to the spammers united lists as an active account ready to receive.

Guys, agreed spent ages making the jump from an organised pst file previously using pop to the 'more' manageable IMAP only to find to my horror Outlook and MDN's are a spammers best friend. I cannot have my clients getting messages backing saying I have deleted their email without reading it when that isn't the case. This is very frustrating, and is quite the deal killer for me to put 2007 on any of my production machines. This occurs even if I have turned off the sending of receipts in Outlook, and I am never prompted. During either the first or second open it will automatically send a "deleted" read receipt to the sender. Sometimes I need to close Outlook and reopen it. Now open Outlook 2007 again and do a send and receive. Close Outlook 2007 and then delete that message (fully - delete and purge) from another client (different PC or webmail).

Open Outlook 2007 so that the message is downloaded/cached. Send this message from one of your own accounts so that you get the read receipt. It is dead easy to duplicate - send an email to one of your IMAP accounts that has a read receipt requested. I submitted a bug report on this several months bug, but I never heard back and it was never fixed in SP1 that was released today.
