Reply and Forward do not work. The email just sits in the Outbox

Send always works, but Reply and Forward never work in Microsoft Outlook.
The message just hangs up in the Outbox. Note that I also have Yahoo mail
with the Yahoo front end and that always works. But I have sbcglobal mail
for which I use Microsoft Outlook and that has the problem.

One other possible complication: yahoo ties my two mails together since
sbcglobal uses yahoo. So when I get an email in Yahoo.com, it also shows up
in Outlook under sbcglobal.net and vise versa. I get the following error
message from Outlook when I hit Reply or Forward:

Task 'MS Yahoo Mail Server - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC0D) : 'Unable
to find the e-mail server. Please verify the server information in your
account properties.'

However, I checked and the server was there as: (e-mail address removed)
POP/SMTP (default)
and,
MS Yahoo Mail Server POP/SMTP

Keep in mind that I never have trouble sending a message straight. In fact
I can copy my text (that wouldn't go in Reply or Forward) into Outlook as a
New Message and type in the send to address and, voila, it goes fine.

Gremlins!

That's not a server. It's an SMTP email address.

Outlook tries to use the same account to reply to a message as it was
received in.
Outlook uses your default account when composing messages.

I think one of your accounts is trying to send using an incorrect
servername.
