They just changed something in outlook express 6 and I now have problems.
I now have an extra line in the box where you enter the address your sending to and the subject. The new line says this is from and shows my other e-mail address that is private and I didn't want known by everyone in the family. This extra line does not show up in the other e-mail only the main one. I am also getting doubles of every e-mail that come in to the main e-mail account. HELP !! I am running windows XP and my ISP is ATT U-verse (yahoo dsl)1 person needs an answerI do too

I am running windows XP and my ISP is ATT U-verse (yahoo dsl) =============================Are you referring to the drop window you can click on that shows additional e-mail addresses?Send an e-mail to yourself and see if you canstill see the private address.Sometimes duplicate messages can appear if you have both of the following options selected.Open Outlook Express 6 and go to...Tools / Options / General tab...Try unchecking..."When starting, go directly to my 'Inbox' folder"and / or..."Send and receive messages at startup"Apply / OK.More info:What to Do When You Receive Duplicate Messages in OutlookExpresshttp://email.about.com/od/outlookexpresstroubles/qt/et_duplicates.htmJohn Inzer - MS-MVP - Digital Media Experience - Notice_This is not tech support_I am a volunteer - Solutions that work for me may not work for you - ***Proceed at your own risk***

Hi John,Thanks for the help. I'll give them a try and yes the window that opens when I click create mail shows both e-mail addresses and I can pick which one I want to use to create the e-mail I want to send. Thanks, Bill
