If a copy of the message shows up in Sent Items folder, the problem lies
somewhere outside of OE. (You're using a different mail server on the
webmail page.)

As Bruce suggested, disable email scanning by your anti-virus application.
It provides no additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and
even Symantec says it's not necessary:

paste
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Perhaps I wasn't completely clear on the webmail use. If I use OE to send
myself an email, I do not receive it either in OE or in webmail. If, on
the
other hand, I am just using webmail, I can sned myself a message using
webmail and recieve it using webmail.

Note that a lot of people have been having trouble with Comcast lately,
and
they refuse to admit the problem is on their end. Have you gone over your
server settings with their tech support?

If a message shows in Sent Items, that means that it was accepted by your
ISP and the problem lies somewhere from that point on. Since the message
you sent yourself is viewable on their WebMail site, then OE did it's job
in sending, and Comcast did not do it's job in forwarding.

Sorry, hit the enter key before describing problem. Here goes now.
Running Win XP Home and OE6 on Comast cable internet. Mcafee antivirus
in
use. For no apparent reason, people I am sending emails to are no
longer
receiving them. If I try to send an email to myself it is sent but I
never
receive it. Comcast says that since it leaves my Outbox and moves to my
Sent
folder it is an OE problem. I have read other threads that recommend
removing (uninstalling) Mcafee. I have done this but the problem still
exists. I do not believe it is a Comcast problem as everything works
fine
using their webmail. Any other ideas what the problem might be. I
thought
it migh be IE7 so I uninstalled that but still no good. Have checked
for
adware, spyware and viruses...all clean. Would appreciate anyone with
ideas
responding. Thanks.
