It is most likely on her end. There is one thing you can try to make sure
though. If a message appears in Sent Items, that means that it was received
by your ISP intact and the problem lies from that point on. There is one
exception. E-mail scanning can fool OE into thinking a message was sent when
it actually wasn't.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer
of protection that eats up CPUs, slows down sending and receiving, and
causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes
and has even been responsible for loss of messages. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Note that for some AV programs, it may be necessary to uninstall the program
and reinstall in Custom Mode and uncheck e-mail scanning when the option
arises.


Also, is there any relation to the size of the messages she gets as opposed
to those she doesn't? Eg: Does a text only message go through, but not one
with pictures? Her server may have a very low size limit. Just something
else to ponder.

That's a classic symptom of AV scanning of outgoing e-mails. Try
turning off the email scans for a day or so and it'll most likely stop
happening.

Does anyone know why when you send an email to yourself it does not show up
in the In folder. It used to now it doesn't anymore.

No, why?

Sounds like your AV might be botching the transmission of the email.
Not unusual and it's a well known issue with anti virus software. The
only one I know of that's gotten around it so far is NOrton AV 2009.
Try turning off at least the outgoing e-mail scanning and they might
start going through OK. Or turn off both incoming and outgoing if you
have to.
Same reason for why you don't get your own mails you send yourself.
Mails will show in the Sent folder but not actually be sent.
