When Outlook does its regular send/receive it ends up sending and receiving
thousands of times. The task pane shows an ever increasing number of tasks
that it says have been completed successfully. When all it actually is doing
is rechecking the mail accounts I have, over and over again. Literally
thousands of times. This interferes with anything that I want to do in
Outlook while this is going on.

It seems to have started after I downloaded either the latest version of
itunes or the latest version of Adobe (or some other application like that).

Help! And thanks.

Per Roady - MVP, this is a known issue that Microsoft is currently
investigating

The animation has nothing to do with your send/receive process and is just
an icon animation irritation thing.
