Outlook 2003 and IMAP - MISSING-HOST-NAME

[Guest]

Hi,

I've setup my outlook 2003 account to syncronise to my IMAP account that i
use while on the move. Everything works well except when i send a message
from outlook then login to my imap account (horde) the sent folder shows me
the message i sent from outlook but the 'from' name is screwed up. It reads
as "[email protected]. If i sent an email from horde
it works fine. Its just outlook messes up sending emails.

Anyone got any ideas. This is doing my nut in.

Cheers

that's likely something your server is doing - but what email address do you
have configured for the from address in the account setup?

The email address i have configured works fine and it is a real address. I've
even tried changing it but it still posts it a emailaddress@MISSING-HOST-NAME
in horde. I've tried all sorts and apparently according to horde it is down
to how outlook sends the email, which would make sense. I was even told by
someone who had the same problem that he just ended up recommending his
clients to use thunderbird instead of outlook. All my other email account are
with outlook and i'd like to get this problem sorted. There must be something
i could alter in outlook to make it send correctly.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help

Not to me, since Outlook sends mail just like any other SMTP client (which
is how IMAP accounts send mail). Since you say that you see the sent items
in a folder on the IMAP server, you must have a rule that moves the messages
there. Is that correct?

What might be helpful in finding out what exactly is happening is examining
the transport log Outlook can generate when it sends and receives messages.
