Post SP2 Error- None of your e-mail accounts could send to this re

[Koobla]

Hello,

I installed SP2 and at the time only encountered one small problem (or so I
thought)with my display adapter, which was fixed by downloading newer drivers.
There was another, what I thought was an annoyance rather than a problem,
that I encountered as well. I have a .net passport and I use Windows
Messenger. Before installing SP2, I could right-click on the messenger icon
(little green man, bottom right) and choose, 'go to inbox', this would then
open an instance of IE and take me straight to my Hotmail Mailbox....great
just how I liked it!.

Post SP2 however, when I right click on the icon and choose, 'go to inbox',
Outlook opens and not IE. Like I said at the time, just an annoyance I
thought, I'll simply add my Hotmail account to my mail profile, but the
problem is bigger than that.

So now in my mail profile, I have my pop3 account (called Work, which is set
as my default mail account), which as the name suggests is my Work email, and
I also have my Hotmail account setup.

I recently noticed that when I reply to, or forward an email then the email
is sent from my hotmail account and not my default pop3 account. I have even
specifically chosen to send from my work email, by choosing my work account
on the drop down menu (called Accounts) on the email I am sending.

Obviously this does not look at all good when I am sending emails to
customers.

So I thought the best thing to do would be too simply remove Hotmail from my
mail profile, which I did. Now when I try to send an email, the email
bounces back to me straight away, stating (the email address below is fake):-

Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.

Subject:
Sent: 30/09/2004 20:31

The following recipient(s) could not be reached:

'nouser@nospam' on 30/09/2004 20:31
None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.


I could fix this by adding my hotmail account to my mail profile again, but
this just takes me back to my initial problem.

I have tried a number of things, like delete my mail profile and then setup
a new one, checked the default email program (this is set to my pop3
account), checked the Outlook send and receive group (all set correctly, I
even unticked the send ability of the Hotmail account, still no good)

I reckon It could be fixed if I renamed my current user profile held in
Documents and Settings, but then I have to go through setting up my account
to the weay I like it again, which would take ages.

Apologies for the long message, but I needed to get everything in there.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

Outlook will ot allow a pop account to be its default. Having a pop account
in Outlook does seem to cause trouble if that account is hit by a lot of
spam lie a lot of old pop accounts are.
1 One way you could get round your problem is to use Outlook Express

Hi John,

The reason I am using Outlook rather than Outlook Express is because of all
the extra functionality you get. I also use Norton's Internet Security 2004,
which as far as I am aware will not virus scan/ or filter junk email with
Outlook Express. I'm pretty sure this was the case with Norton's Internet
Security 2003.

The one reason I have to disagree with what you are saying is because I have
had my pc setup this way for over a year and a half now. e.g I have been
using Outlook with one POP3 account as the default and Hotmail was not even
added to the profile. During this time I have never once experienced this
problem, and it was only until I installed Win XP SP2 that the problem
occurred.

I have tried disabling Norton's Junk email filters and Norton's Anti-virus
and the problem still occurs.

cheers

Chris

Koobla,

Well yes, however once one has added hotmail which is Imap then my
experience with Outlook 2003 was that it becomes the default address. I
mainly use MSN for email because it has such good anti spam but I cannot
make it the default email address in Outlook which always opens with its won
in box as default.
I have NAV pro and ZA running OK.
