Do you know how to check the headers of the email in Microsoft Outlook? Most people do not know that it is possible. Well, it is very possible to do so from the OPTIONS area. With the knowledge, you can see if the Microsoft Outlook Test Message that you found in your inbox or trash was originated from your computer or network. If you discover that it originated elsewhere, change your password from a clean system and check for “hidden Outlook rules” to see if any are set to delete incoming emails upon receipt.
