I am not able to send an e-mail to someone and CC: myself. The e-mail will
go through to the recipient, but not to my e-mail. Any ideas on how to take
care of that? Thanks.

Does the address show up on the CC line in the Sent Items?

What type of mail server?

Could be anti-spam software that blocks e-mails sent to yourself. You
shouldn't be sending yourself copies of your own e-mail as it
increases disk consumption (you and the mail server) and waste
bandwidth on a copy of the e-mail that you already have when you sent
it.

Could be you have a rule defined (client- or server-side) to get rid
of e-mails received that were sent by you.

Could be you included yourself in the Blocked Senders list.

Use the webmail interface to your e-mail account to do the test of
sending an e-mail to yourself to see if it shows up in your Inbox
there. If so, the problem is on your end with however you configured
Outlook, its rules, junk filtering, or anti-spam software.
 
My e-mail does show in the CC: block in Sent Items. We have Earthlink,
but I
use Outlook.

Like Vanguard said, what do you see in the web based mail reader? Do you
see the message there? And, as he also suggested, what happens if you try
it from there?
