Family living abroad are receiving my messages, but I am not receiving from
them. They are not receivingany returned e-mail or error messages. Can I find
out where the messages are going, and why I am not receiving any.

Have you checked that the senders are not in your Blocked Senders List?
Don't be surprised if they are since we have people who have blocked their
own addresses and then wonder why they aren't getting any mail anymore.
Also look at message rules to make sure you do not have a rule that is
affecting the incoming mail.

In addition to Jim's reply, does your ISP offer any spam filtering? If
so, use their web mail access and see if the missing messages might be
going to a SPAM, BULK, JUNK, TRASH or similarly named folder.

Also, to make sure that you are giving them a good reply to address in
your e-mails, send an e-mail to yourself. Once you receive that
message, reply to it. If you don't get the reply, then you are likely
supplying an incorrect reply to address for your e-mail. Look in
Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail, Properties, General. Make
sure that the E-mail address there is correct for you. And that the
Reply e=mail address is either empty or contains your correct e-mail
address.

I don't have any folders named SPAM, BULK, JUNK, TRASH. I don't use spam
filtering. I have checked my blocked senders list and blocked rules. Thre
does not appear to be anything appertaining to my cousin that would delete
messages.

Did you try the Sending to yourself routine that I suggested? Does that
work, including the reply to yourself?

I sent myself a message and received it. I replied to myself and received it.

That indicates that there is nothing wrong your reply to address.

I presume that other people don't have any problems sending to your
other than your family abroad.

Since you say there is no filtering going on in Outlook Express (Block
Senders or Message Rules) and nothing at your ISP, that would point to
the problem being on your family's sending end.

Do they have problems sending e-mail to anyone else?
