Do you see any old addresses here? Delete them.

When you searched your computer, did you do an Advanced search and include
Hidden Files and Folders? If not, try that and open every one that you find
and look for the address. Search for:

Take a look at the message in the Sent Items folder, viewing the Message

What e-mail address or addresses do you find?

If just the one good address, then the problem is not on your end. He
may have some automatically forwarding set up in his end.

When you have multiple e-mail addresses in a contact, with one
exception, OE only ever uses the Default one. To use the non-default
one, you have to open the address book, right click the contact and
select Action in order to get to it.

Until recently, I had 2 e-mail addresses listed for one of my contacts
(one
contact entry). One of those became inactive, so I deleted it from my
address book. However, when I send an e-mail to that contact now, it
goes to
the present address fine, but I get a "Delivery Failed" notice from my
ISP
for the old address. I tried deleting the contact completely, and
re-entering it with just the new address, but OE is still trying to
send to
both addresses. I searched my computer for the old address, in case
it was
lurking somewhere, but nothing showed up. This isn't a major problem,
in
that the e-mail is actually going out, but it is annoying. Has anyone
seen
this problem before, and found a fix?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Bill.



I'm sending the messages as "New Messages", not responding or forwarding
them. I don't have either MS Office or Outlook installed (I use Corel WP
for
word processing, and only OE for e-mail).
I checked the "Sent Msg" folder, and used ctl F3 to check the address.
There was only one address, the one that the message is actually going to.
No CC or BCC addresses, and no sign of the phantom address.
I guess there must be some sort of external link going on there. I
checked
with the contact, but he doesn't know anything about that. He's using "My
Space" for his e-mail, so who knows what that is doing.
Anyway, thank you both for the replies. I am satisfied that OE is OK, and
that this is happening from the My Space site. It's not a real problem,
just
an annoyance.
Again, thanks for the great help, as per normal here.
Bill.


Thanks, Bruce, for the info. I checked the address book, and no strange
addresses there. I did an "Advanced Search", and included all files and
folders as well as system files. That address just isn't on my computer, so
it has to be something at "My Space". Thanks again for the response.
Merry Christmas. Bill.
