Can't find any information on this problem so hope someone can help.
I have two addresses, my main one is shown as my default, but all e-mails
are now going to the other address, though coming in on my default inbox. I
have checked Tools, Options, and the correct address is checked as default.
I have also lost a few e-mails sent to my default address, but in the main I
am getting the e-mails.
I have contacted my server and they say its a Microsoft problem as
everything looks OK at their end.
This is a minor annoying problem and if it hadn't been for losing a few
e-mails I wouldn't have been too worried, but it could get a serious problem
and I would like to correct it.

When you create a new message, what address shows in the From field?

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | General. Is there a Reply Address?
Remove it.

Please define"going to the other address". A different identity, or a
different user created Inbox in the same identity.

Please state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; Vista SP1) when
posting to this newsgroup.

Are both addresses aliases for the same mailbox?

I'm using Windows XP with SP3.
I have 2 names on the same address, a virgin.net one
The second one was created so I could receive e-mails connected with a
charity job I do, and for which I did not want to use my name. Like most
virgin.net addresses my main e-mail uses my name.
It has all worked fine until the weekend when suddenly the second address
starts coming into my main In Box and all outgoing e-mails go from my second
address.
Some e-mails have gone astray, but at present I appear to be getting e-mails
sent to both addresses. It's more an organisational annoyance.
When I create a new e-mail the main address comes up in the From field.
When I click Reply then the second address comes up.
I checked Tools/Accounts/Properties/General. No, there is no reply address,
only the second e-mail address in the E-mail address box.

The accounts are alias for one mailbox.

Are both accounts (addresses) running in one identity? IOW, are they both
listed in 'Tools | Accounts | Mail' in your current identity or do you have
one account set up in your current identity and the other set up in a second
identity?

Assuming both accounts are running in one identity, have you created a
Message Rule to filter messages sent to to a specific local
folder you've created?

When replying to a message, OE will automatically prepopulate the FROM line
with the address to which the message was sent by default. If the message
was sent TO and the FROM line prepopulates with
, OE sees both as the same address (since they're aliases
for the same mailbox).

Why the change? Could be something virgin.net did or your current identity
may be corrupted.

Many thanks for your help. It is a Virgin problem apparently, they had a
major breakdown the other weekend and there are still one or two problems,so
sorry to trouble you.
