Hi,
I use OL 2000 IMO under Windows XP Home (SP2) on a stand-alone desktop
(Dell) with 2.16 GHz CPU and 1 GB RAM).
In rare situations, about once every week or two, I encounter an odd
situation that I hope somebody will recognize. I always send e-mail from my
"drafts" folder. When the problem occurs, I have an e-mail message that is
ready to send, open in full screen. This message has previously been saved
to my "draft" folder. I choose to send the message from question from
whatever e-mail account I designate, and I can see that OL is sending the
message based on the 3 messages that appear successively in the right hand
corner of the status bar in the program's main screen:
1. Connecting to Server
2. Sending message 1 of 1
3. Mail Delivery Complete
In the aforementioned rare situations, there is NO copy of the sent message
in the Sent Items folder (I have had this option checked (2nd checkbox in
the e-mail options page) for years and it works correctly 99.9% of the time)
AND the message itself, despite the 3 status messages described above,
remains in the Drafts folder with the message (in yellow) in the upper left
hand corner that says: "This Message Has Not Been Sent".
Against that backdrop of contradictions (the yellow colored message on the
e-mail in the Drafts folder indicating it has not been sent), coupled with
the fact that there's no copy of the message in the Sent items folder, as is
normally the case, on the one hand, as opposed to the 3 status bar messages
coupled with the fact that when I call the recipients they indeed HAVE
received the message, on the other hand.
Has that situation ever happened to anybody before? Any ideas? Nella
