Reply and Forward do not work. The email just sits in the Outbox

[Phil Notz]

Send always works, but Reply and Forward never work in Microsoft Outlook.
The message just hangs up in the Outbox. Note that I also have Yahoo mail
with the Yahoo front end and that always works. But I have sbcglobal mail
for which I use Microsoft Outlook and that has the problem.

One other possible complication: yahoo ties my two mails together since
sbcglobal uses yahoo. So when I get an email in Yahoo.com, it also shows up
in Outlook under sbcglobal.net and vise versa. I get the following error
message from Outlook when I hit Reply or Forward:

Task 'MS Yahoo Mail Server - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0D) : 'Unable
to find the e-mail server. Please verify the server information in your
account properties.'

However, I checked and the server was there as: (e-mail address removed)
POP/SMTP (default)
and,
MS Yahoo Mail Server POP/SMTP

Keep in mind that I never have trouble sending a message straight. In fact
I can copy my text (that wouldn't go in Reply or Forward) into Outlook as a
New Message and type in the send to address and, voila, it goes fine.

Gremlins!

That's not a server. It's an SMTP email address.

Outlook tries to use the same account to reply to a message as it was
received in.
Outlook uses your default account when composing messages.

I think one of your accounts is trying to send using an incorrect
servername.
