Was OE closed when you deleted the Outbox and Sent Items? It needs to be to
take effect.

That said, generally, if a message appears in Sent Items, it has arrived at
the ISP. Are you using a Spam program provided by your ISP?

Another possibility is that you may have a damaged identity. File | Identity
| Add New Identity. Create a new one and test it. If all is well, you can
import your messages from the old identity and delete it.

Hi, my Send Emails go to the OutBox, then appear in the SentBox, but
no-one recieves them, no Error Message or anything. I,ve turned off the
Firewall, Pop-Ups,etc. If its related, I also cant use any internet
addresses in my Emails to go to those addresses direct. Somethings gone
wrong an its bugging me!!!

Have you tried sending a message to yourself? Do you receive it?
Get back on this.

I have the same problem and when I post to myself it does not show up on
the
pacbell server. Whenever I use another computer (same settings for ISP
server) everything works fine. I tried rebuilding outbox and sent box as
outlined in another post and now messages show up in sent box do not show
up
in outbox and do not show up on server. Very frustrating. Only difference
is
this computer is on modem. I can retrieve messages from ISP server fine. I
can surf with IE and Foxfire fine. Just can't send mail.
