I'm constantly amassed at how these "things" can mess up. Something as
simple as setting up an e-mail account can turn into a nightmare.....
At one point I think I've got it down and then it throws a curve at me.

Thanks for your help and suggestions,

L.

I'm beginning to love the reset button. Even though I call it something
else!!!

Sounds like either her (new) identity was horked from the git-go or there
was some sort of fumble when you "added her accounts to OE."

Anyway, all is well now.

All 3 can be accessed through webmail.

This may have been a glitch. Her system started going down last week(HD
started clacking) so I replaced with another system. I transferred
several
files including e-mails, address book, etc., etc. and added her accounts
to
OE. That's when it started.
When I deleted the accounts and added one at a time, starting with
Pat@xxxx
it's working fine now.
Like I said, go figure....

So they're all addresses, addresses,
or...?

How and where did you create the 3 addresses?

Can all 3 accounts be accessed via a web-mail page somewhere?

I/she use to have one e-mail address which was/is the same
as a
. That caught anything and everything so I got rid of
that
and created 3 address' so she could tell where e-mails where coming
from.
pat@xxx was the default for past couple of years. We're getting
friends,
co-workers etc. using Pat@xxx and going to drop the pat@xxx as it's
getting
more and more spam.

May I assume you did not create all three (3) addresses yourself and
that
there's a separate web-mail page for each account?

Are they all accounts and is your ISP a Yahoo Partner
(e.g., Verizon; ATT/SWBell)?

All 3 of the @comcrap.net are the same.
I deleted the mom@xxxx, reset the default to Pat@xxxx, reinstalled
mom@xxx
and now the Pat@xxx is working ok. Go figure.

Pat's is the only one that doesn't do that. All replies have
mom@xxxx
no
matter what came in....

Is the @xxxx part of all three (3) addresses the same (e.g.,
, , [the last two of
which
may point to the same account] ?

Does the behavior persist with all three (3) addresses running in a
new
identity on the same computer?

The default Mail Client is OE on all systems.
Just got back from home and when I click "reply" it replies with
the
e-mail
that was sent to.
On this system it does the same.
I have lewis@xxxx, Lewis@xxxx, dad@xxxx with Lewis@xxxx being
default.
If
an
e-mail comes in to dad@xxx and I hit reply, the "from:" box has
dad@xxxx.
If
it came to lewis@xxxx that's what's in the From: box when I hit
reply.
Pat's is the only one that doesn't do that. All replies have
mom@xxxx
no
matter what came in....

Will run a couple of text and report back.
I'm going to delete the mom@xxxx and change the default a couple of
times
and see what happens.

It sounds like the all 3 accounts (addresses) are aliases for the
same
mailbox. Assuming I'm correct, WYSIWYG.

I don't know what's the default Mail Client on your "other
systems"
but
I'd very much doubt it's OE if she's accessing all three accounts
in
the
client and is not seeing the same behavior.

In short: OE places the default address (i.e., Pat@xxxx) in the
From
line
when Replying to or Forwarding a message sent to either of the
other
addresses.

This is only happening on my wifes system.
Outlook express, winxp.

She has 3 e-mail address'. mom@xxxx, pat@xxxx, Pat@xxxx
Pat@xxxx is set as default.

When she replies to an e-mail, in the "From:" box it's always
mom@xxxx.
I've had her check in property/details that the original e-mail
is
coming
in
to Pat@xxx or pat@xxxx.

She is manually changing the From: box to Pat@xxxx but this is a
pain
to
remember.

On our other systems, the from: is whichever the e-mail is sent
to.

suggestions please,
