Rules

[Pappy]

I can't receive e-mails from documents I've created in word. When I try to
send them they get forwarded as though the sender is set up in rules to be
deleted. I didn't set Iit up that way in new rules and can't find anything in
the list that even comes close to my own name. how do I find and disable this
rule?

So, just to make sure I understand:

You send yourself a message containing a document.
It gets sent to your deleted items rather than your inbox.

Correct?

What if there isn't an attachment? What happens then?
What type of mail server are you connecting to?

Close. If in Outlook 2007 I get e-mail from sources I don't care to receive
from, I usually create a rule and try to block them. I permanently delete
them and was told by my internet provider Shentel to forward them to their
"unblocked mail" box. This works well and I recieve less spam. But when I
send my word documents to myself they will appear in the outbox as being
sent. Then if I send/receive they will go directly to my outbox and get
forwarded to the "unblocked mail" of my provider as though I've created a
rule for my own adress. I checked all my blocked senders and I'm not in there
anywhere. I've disabled my antivirus and minimized my junk mail security and
it still does this. The only thing I can figure is that I was using windows
2003 and Outlook Express prevous to this and had issues with spammers and my
name so I inadvertently set myself up then. But, I upgraded Windows to 2007 a
while back and I've since had issues with Windows crashing so I had to
purchase another hard drive and reinstall Windows and outlook 2007. The old
hard drive is still there as a slave so I can access some of the old files
and bring them over if I need them. I still have the old Outlook Express but
no identities or accounts are set up and so i'ts not running. I'm thinking I
need to just dump Outlook Express out of the system and see if that works.
Thanks for your interest and reply.

So, you send yourself an email with a word doc.
It gets autoforwarded to this 'unblocked mail' address.

Correct?

Ok, I still go back to my question:

What happens if you mail yourself *without* sending an attachment?

Because if the same thing happens there, then that's something we can ignore,
the whole attachment issue.

Do you have *any* rules defined?
Does your ISP have a web based mail reader?
