Default e-mail problems

Hi all. I have Winxp Pro and OE 6. I am using 5 different emails from 4
different isps.

Lately after fresh install of my Computer, I can not send emails from one
account to another. It never gets there?

I get emails from others, but not from myself.

Thanks.

Default e-mail problems

1: Can you send to other people?

2: Can you send from any address to the same address? (i.e. from 1 to 1, not
from 1 to 2, 3, 4, or 5).

When you send, does the message appear in Sent Items? For all 5?

4: Any error messages?

Thanks for the reply Bruce, but I found out that it was my Earthlink isp that
was putting any and all emails from the 3 accounts I have with them in the
SPAM, so it got deleted automatically.

Now I am forced to get all the junk mails since my stupid isp will not fix
the problem.

You're welcome. Try *filtering in* your e-mail using message rules.

[I think Earthlink is ID'ing the messages as SPAM on the server & moving
them to a Spam folder that's not available to OE, Bruce. Remember this when
WebDAV support for Hotmail accounts ends on 01 September.]

Check your ISP's web mail settings. There may be some options to mark
messages from your own addresses as good. This might involve putting
them in the web mail address book, or some web based message rules.

Default e-mail problems

Those would need to be *server*-side rules that need to be defined.
Using the webmail interface to the account, the OP might be able to
define a filter that keeps in the Inbox folder any e-mails where any of
his e-mail addresses are in the From header. The server-side whitelist
rule in account A would test on e-mail addresses in the From header for
accounts B, C, D, and E. The server-side whitelist rule in account B
would test for e-mail addresses in the From header for accounts A, C, D,
and E. And so on.

Alternatively, he might be able to add his own e-mail addresses to the
Contacts list (or address book) in each account so those known senders
(which are himself) wouldn't be identified as spam sources. An option
or rule would be needed to always accept e-mails from sources listed in
your own address book. And this would be needed up on the mail server.
If they don't let you whitelist the contacts in your address book, they
might have a Safe Senders whitelist option. You are filtering in your
e-mails sent from yourself because you are a known good sender.

Normally users do not send themselves e-mail. In fact, a typical
anti-spam filter is to look for e-mails that say they originated from
yourself and to delete them. Spammers will use any bogus e-mail address
(i.e., it isn't their address), and that could be your e-mail address.
So spam could look like it was sent from yourself to yourself.

Since e-mail from yourself to yourself could be spam, you would be
opening the gates to that spam with your rules or options that whitelist
your own e-mail addresses. Some e-mail providers always block on
e-mails from yourself to yourself, like Gmail. If you want to send
yourself e-mails then it is best to add something to your e-mail that is
unlikely anyone else will add, including spammers. For example, create
a server-side "Global passcode" rule. It would, say, look for a unique
string in the Subject of your incoming e-mails. That string would be
something not likely to show up in an e-mail, like "{#!PK}" (pick
anything you want). The server-side rule looks for this passcode in the
Subject header and, if present, keeps that e-mail in the Inbox folder.
I did this for a long time when I provided a legitimate e-mail address
in my newsgroup posts. The instructions in my signature told users to
add the passcode to the Subject header. I had an account used only for
receiving e-mails that came from newsgroup users. I didn't get ANY spam
into that account. Spambots can't understand instructions in
signatures. Even if they copied them, the spammer won't see it in his
harvested list of e-mail addresses from newsgroup posts. If someone
wanted to add my e-mail address to some spam, bulk mail, or newsletter
list trying to slam my account, and even if he understood the
instructions in my signature, he couldn't tell the spam sources to
include that passcode in their Subject headers. If at any time (which
never did happen) I got spam into that special-use account, I could
simply and easily change the passcode string in my server-side rule
along with changing it in my signature. I could then passcode any
e-mails that I wanted to send to my own accounts from my other accounts
without worrying about letting the spam get in that pretended to me
sending to me. I would filter in my own e-mails but only if they
included the passcode.
