Syncing creates random new emails in Outlook

I have experieneced wthis with three computers, two operating systems, four phones, two models and two different versions of Outlook so I can't be the only one out there with this problem.

When syncying email between P1i and Outllook (2007 and 2003) certain apparently random emails in the phone's inbox get resent in Outlook using the Outlook folder's default email account as the sender. To be clear, if the email came from [email][email protected][/email] and my default email is [email][email protected][/email] then the emails willbe sent from [email][email protected][/email] on behalf of [email][email protected][/email]

Furthermore, the emails do not go via the Outbox in Outlook. If I disconnect the network cable during the sync, I will find that there are no emails in the Oulook Outbox will still be trying to send them. In fact I cannot see where they can be kept. They are not found in the SENT ITEMS folder after they are sent.

In the P1i log, the emails are shown as failed syncs with the code FAILEDITEMINPHONE.

I'm fairly computer svvy but this has got me completely baffled over the course of the last fifteen months and I at a total loss to udnerstand what's going on. Does anyone have any ideas?

I didn't send emails at all. There were no emails in sitting in my phone outbox or my Outlook outbox.

But during the sync operation, assorted emails from my phones INBOX get sent via Outlook. But the emails themselves cannot be seen within Outlook's OUTBOX during the sending process - so there isn't a way to delete or cancel this send operration.

When the emails are sent they come from "<me> on behalf of the original sender"
