Now your getting the picture. An email comes in
....


So your OE has an Inbox as well as an Outbox?

I had the idea that if OE was installed as an add-on to Outlook
(e.g. to be used strictly as a newsreader) that you might not get an Inbox
but you would have to have an Outbox; so then if you were sending E-mail
it would have to be picked up by Outlook to send. Therefore, I'm not
surprised that E-mails are being intercepted by/rerouted to Outlook.

Something else which would be a clue about how your E-mail posting
worked would be the version of mapi32.dll that you have.
Use OE's Help, About (Alt-H,A) as an easy way to see that.

BTW you would probably get a more informed reply from an Office NG.
FWIW this would be my guess for what you might need:

I click Reply, type my message, click Send.
The OE Outbox never shows the email.
If I quickly switch to Outlook XP the email is in the Outbox!
When it is done it is in the Sent folder of Outlook XP.
The email address used shows as the email address I have only in OE.

The only non-standard thing about my email programs is that I use Qurb by CA
as a Spam filter. I've been using Qurb since May and only in the last few
weeks has this been happening. It runs with both email programs.

I've had one other strange problem with OE lately. I use Profiles with OE
and sometimes you can't logoff the Identity with Outlook XP running. You
have to manually close Outlook XP using Task Manager, then come back to OE
and try logging off again. Sometimes even that doesn't work and you have to
use Task Manager to close OE.
