subject: Having trouble sending e-mail in OE but works if a reply

If I send an e-mail from one of my accounts on Outlook Express to my
Hotmail address then it doesn't get delivered (although there is no
message saying it has failed, it just doesn't show up at my Hotmail
in-box), but if I send an e-mail from Hotmail to an e-mail address on
one of my Outlook Express accounts then it is received on OE and if I
then use reply it is sent to my Hotmail e-mail address OK.

I am wondering why this happens and if there is a simple setting I can
change to make it work.

Any help very much appreciated.

Check your Hotmail account's Junk Mail folder and Junk Mail/Spam settings.

If a copy of the message sent to is found in OE Sent Items
(assuming you have the option enabled), the problem's not OE.

The e-mail does how in OE's sent items folder, but doesn't get to
Hotmail. I've checked the Junk Mail folder and it's not there, but I
don't see why Hotmail would have sent it there any way when it puts the
e-mail from the same account into its Inbox when it is sent from OE as
a reply!

Any other sugestions?

Thanks

Again, if a copy of the message is found in Sent Items, the problem lies
somewhere outside of OE. I have no further suggestions other than contact
MSN/Hotmail Support to see what they have to say about it:

Do you have an anti-virus set to scan email? Turn the email scanning off.
It doesn't provide any added protection anyway.

I have an anti-virus scanner set to scan e-mail for OE, but do you mean
for Hotmail, as the last reply from PA Bear indicated that the problem
didn't lie with OE?

Turn off all email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection. After doing so it may be necessary to reset the server names in
OE.

The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express
Published: November 18, 2004
By Tom Koch
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/IE/...orruption.mspx

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"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."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. 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."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...= bar_sch_nam

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.

Although it doesn't scan incoming or outgoing messages from your Hotmail
address, disable it.

There's a (very slight) chance that your current Identity has been damaged,
especially if its the default Main Identity. Try sending the message to the
address using one or more of your accounts in a new Named
Identity (File Identities Add new identity). Assuming all is well, (1)
compact all folders in the old identity, (2) import messages from the old
identity into the new one (don't bother with any of the Hotmail folders),
and then (3) delete the old one (File Identities Manage Identities).

To avoid such corruption in futu

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Disable Background Compacting [N/A in SP2] and frequently perform a manual
compact of all OE folders while "working offline". More at
http://insideoe.tomsterdam.com/files/maintain.htm.

- Do not attempt to close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if
Automatic Compacting is taking place (WinXP SP2 only).

- Your anti-virus application's email scanning feature can also cause such
corruption. Disable it. It provides no additional protection.
