Some email scanners will tell OE the email has been sent and then scan it.
If the server times out before the email scanner actually sends it then it
never gets sent. Turn off ALL email scanning.

Frank, Because E-mail is sending and then the messages moved to sent
folder because
e-mail send is sent folder.

Please help, i don't know what's happening to Microsoft Outlook Express.
I
have confirmed to my internet provider that the connection is working
well,
they told me that the problem is probably with the Outlook Express. When
I
send an email, it seems that everything's ok because the email sent was
moved
to sent folders. However, when I check with the receipient if whether
they
receive my emails, it was not received. I have tried it many times but
the
problem is still there. How come my email was moved to sent folder when
it
was not really sent anyway? Would appreciate your help. Thank you so
much
and God bless!

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the
regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
