Problem replying to email with Outlook 2003 BJH <barryh[ at ]nospam.kentra.co.uk> 06.09.2006 18:06:28 Hi When I generate a reply to an email all the fields seem to get filled in properly, i.e. the "To" field has the correct senders email address. The problem is that after clicking on "Send" when the email appears in the "Sent" folder the "To" field now contains the email address for the account, i.e. mine! so the email gets sent back to me. I've looked at all the settings I can think of and everything appears to be correct. Any suggestions where to look further would be gratefully received, its a real pain having to manually create a reply. BTW all program updates have been applied. The same thing happens trying to add sender details to Contacts after clicking on the sender field, and the email address details end up being the account email address details. -- Best regards Barry

Make sure Outlook is closed and rename the file (eg: outcmd.dat_old) and restart Outlook. Let me know if this helps. -- Kathleen Orland Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ http://www.howto-outlook.com/ "BJH" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Hi > > When I generate a reply to an email all the fields seem to get filled > in properly, i.e. the "To" field has the correct senders email > address. > > The problem is that after clicking on "Send" when the email appears in > the "Sent" folder the "To" field now contains the email address for > the account, i.e. mine! so the email gets sent back to me. > > I've looked at all the settings I can think of and everything appears > to be correct. > > Any suggestions where to look further would be gratefully received, > its a real pain having to manually create a reply. > > BTW all program updates have been applied. > > The same thing happens trying to add sender details to Contacts after > clicking on the sender field, and the email address details end up > being the account email address details. > > -- > Best regards > Barry >

Open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) and enter the following into the Address field: %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook Click Go. It will be in that folder. Outlook ALWAYS creates that file so if Outlook shows you an Inbox at all, that file will exist. -- Brian Tillman

Let me know if this helps. Kathleen, sorry for the delay in replying but I've been away for a coupla weeks. Your suggestion didn't help I'm afraid. I'm beginning to suspect "Workgroup Share", this allows Outlook folder/contacts sharing across a small P2P network. The server machine which hosts the folders/files works perfectly OK, but the three client machines all exhibit the same behaviour. It's got me stumped, but I'm going to email Softalk to see if they can throw any light on it. -- Best regards Barry
