Ok, define 'mailbox' then. I'm not sure exactly what you mean there.

The mailbox is the repository at the hosting company where mail awaits
your client to download it.

Sounds good to me. Thank you.

We have a domain (call it thisdomain.com) hosted at ABCHosting. Also
have thatdomain.com also hosted at ABCHosting. The mailboxes are
separate there. I can log into the webmail for
and not see mail sent to .

That's what I was getting at.

They are on different domains. They are also separate on the hosting
server. I go into webmail for thisdomain and log in using the account
(name) and the password, and it sees only thisdomain messages. I go to
webmail for thatdomain and logon using the account (name) and the password
(which is different from the password for thisdomain, and per our hosting
company the account + password defines a mailbox), and I see only thatdomain
messagses.


She has 3 email
addresses: , and
.

Can any of these accounts, when logging in by web mail, see the mail for
any account other than itself?

No (see above). I also received assurance from our hosting company that
they are separate. I'm bugging them about this problem as well, but the
problem does not appear to be with their servers.

There are separate email accounts (for clarity
- in Outlook, Tools menu, Email accounts - there's 3 of them there). They
retrieve mail from different mailboxes (respectively
, and )
Is what you are getting at is that Outlook may take a message from
and say it has been received by
just 'because'?

It's been known to happen when accessing the same server. I thought I saw
an MSKB article about it.. I'll see if I can find it.

Scary... I'll look too, but if you find it, please let me know.

Thank you for sticking with me on this, Brian. I personally think the user
should just check the account before clicking the send button, but it
shouldn't do this in any case, and she's complaining to my boss, so...

Mike.
