314258 2005-01-15 07:56:00 Ok folks. Problem solved by one "Untick" Thanks, JB. PJ

GF have been looking at Office Outlook. What is your opinion of IT ? To be honest, we do not have any apparent trouble with OE, other than what I cause. It is the one we both started/learnt with. PJ

314259 2005-01-15 21:25:00 Outlook is more than just email, and it's certainly overkill for you (and most people) plus it's not any better in being a target for malware.

I have used Eudora for years, it's simple and easy to use. It's not a "secure" product in that the database files created are mostly plain text, but as it's not a Microsoft product it seems to be left alone from the aspect of viruses etc to a large degree. It's very easy to back up. It does not work with Hotmail, but does with Gmail.

If OE works for you, then by all means use it. It certainly is not something I would do when there are so many good alternatives though. It's a bit too complex for the simple task of sending and receiving email...

314261 2005-01-16 02:32:00 Dammit, the problem still exists & is driving us crazy. Have been into Johnboy's reply, second address, & cleared both those boxes. Also did the 3rd option 'synchronize all'. What now?? PJ Poppa John (284)
314262 2005-01-16 02:42:00 What on earth is going on there.
Have you got your email account setup twice in OE or something.

Are the people who are sending you these doubleups putting your name in twice on the "bcc" line when sending or maybe putting your name and your wife's name there?

Like I said, just a wild one.
