Outlook Express Problems Changing my E-mails

Hi everyone,

How are you doing?

Well I FINALLY got almost everything moved over from the old computer system to the new computer system & here's my problem.

I was using OE b4, so nothing has changed as far as e-mail programs go.

Now what's happening is my default e-mail address [email="Michelle@exoticpublishing.com"]Michelle@exoticpublishing.com[/email] doesn't seem to be working properly or I'm thinking it's the whole OE that's screwed LOL

Another e-mail address in my e-mail identity list seems to be taking over... [email="Business@exoticpublishing.com"]Business@exoticpublishing.com[/email] & I don't know why. I'll reply back to an e-mail or forward an e-mail that was written from the Michelle or another of the various e-mail addys I have, & it will switch to [email="Business@exoticpublishing.com"]Business@exoticpublishing.com[/email] in the "from" field. It happens the minute I hit "reply".

This has started to cause many problems for me b/c people don't recognize the e-mail addy, my yahoo posts come back undeliverable b/c it doesn't recognize the e-mail addy, etc.

The only other time I have encountered this problem is when I was testing out new spam programs that had to be DLed onto my computer. I am NOT testing any spam software & I haven't in years.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks a ton & I hope everyone is having a great wknd.



Michelle :)

Hello. :)

Open Outlook Express, go to Tools, then Accounts, pick the email account you're using in the list, (probably says default next to it), and press the Properties button. In the User Information area, does it have the name and email address you want there? Be sure the Reply address has the correct address in it, (or no address at all if it's the same as the email address in the box above).

Hi there,

Just so you know, I'm not a newbie.

I checked the properties of my default & the e-mail addy that keeps hogging all the other ones & nothing seems to be out of place. I thought maybe I had put something in the "Reply To" area, but it's blank as it shoud be. :sad:

Thanks for trying & have a great night !



Michelle

You could try searching your registry for the email address that is replacing the one you wish to use, if you find the old email address in your registry, change it to the new one. (Love those brute force tactics lol).

I had the same p/w b4 as I do now. I'll try & see if that helps.

They are AREN'T hookers, they are Escorts & it's clear you have no clue what the difference is. Crudeness is NOT appreciated.

Thanks
