Thanks for the information. I have tried what you have asked. When I select
CTRL f3 on my sent email it does come up with the correct yahoo email address
in the FROM line. What program could be scanning this? I just re imaged my
computer, so norton has not been installed yet. I have no spyware programs
being utilized at this time. Maybe a windows issue?? Any help would be
appreciated.

That information comes from Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, General

If you have more than one mail account set up in OE, in the message
composition window there will be a FROM line drop down box. For a new
message, this will be the default mail account. Before sending, click
the down arrow if you want to select a different account.

If you are still having problems, then look at the message in the Sent
Items folder. Look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3). If the FROM header
is correct, but the message arrives with something different, then some
other program is modifying the information after it leaves Outlook
Express. This could potentially be some anti-virus program scanning
outgoing mail or some Internet security software.

Hello,

I recently set up my outlook express 6 to download and send from my
yahoo
email. I sent myself a test email and it says the email is from my
hotmail
account, Not my yahoo. Furthermore it posts my old password for my
hotmail
account as well. I have tried everything from deleteing all account
and
adding just my yahoo account within outlook express, Switching
identities..... No matter what I try it still displays my hotmail
email
address and password to the receiver of my email. It is using the
yahoo
pathways but the display name is my hotmail email address and
password! I
use ypop to enable me to download from yahoo, but that is all so
simple and
configured correctly... Can anyone help me???
