I think I need to see the actual messages. A sample message that you
sent to yourself - both the version that you in the Sent Items folder
and the one you got back in the Inbox.

It's best if you zip the message so that I get an exact copy of it. To
do that, do a File, Save As to an EML file of a problem messages. Then
Right click the saved EML file and select Send To, Compressed (zipped)
folder. Then e-mail me the resulting ZIP file (you can highlight both
saved EML files, then Right click and zip to a single file. Or do each
as its own zip file). Alternately, you can do a Message, Forward As
Attachment of a problem message. This is not as good as the zip file
since the headers can be modified in transit which may obscure the
problem. A simple Forward is worthless since it does not include the
headers.

Look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) for one of your messages that

send to yourself.

The received headers will indicate what mail servers the message went
through. If you are sending via Yahoo to yourself on Yahoo, only
should
show there.

Additionally, look for any X-headers that could identity a program
that
the message went through, such as a security program.

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.

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???
