OL 2003, SP2
I started experiencing a strange phenom a few days ago. I have OL set up
with a number of different accounts.
The default account we'll call Account 1. I noticed that when I send email
to one particular person (at an AOL account, fwiw). my copy of the message
(found in my Sent Items folder) shows it to have been sent from one of my
other accounts (call it "Account 2"). Since noting that, I've been
extremely careful to make sure I've even manually selected the sending
account.
Other symptoms:
1) The aol recipient is not receiving the messages (though he has always in
the past).
2) On messages sent (presumably from default Account 1) to multiple
recipients that include this aol correspondent:
------My copy in Sent Items shows the message to all having been sent from
Account 2.
------The recipients OTHER than the aol guy say that the message appears to
have come from default Account 1 (which it SHOULD have).
-------NON-OUTLOOK symptoms that may be relevant or helpful, so I'll include
them here:
-------------------If any of the other recipients hit "reply all", they get
some error message that the response won't go through to aol-guy. (not sure
of the exact message
-------------------My copy of the reply shows aol-guy's email address in a
strange format: " 'FirstName LastName \(aol-guy's email address\)' " --The
backward slashes have never been there before.
I know that some of these symptoms seem to have nothing to do with OL, but
what's up with the business of being sent out from the wrong account? This
can prove embarassing if it starts happening wholesale!
Many thanks.
