I would appreciate help if anyone had any ideas on these three
problems. I am a home user that sends/receives to an email server on
the internet using pop3 and smtp.
1. My internet connection is intermittant, and sometimes if the
connection has been down for a while, when it comes back online, I am
able to receive email just fine, but not send. The only way I can
make it send is to restart outlook. It's almost like the send
function doesn't believe that I'm back online.
2. When I start outlook, it usually appears for a moment and then
disappears as if the application has shut down. Then I start it
again, and it starts just fine. But I think that there's that the
first instance is actually still running, just not visible. Since I
restart outlook often (see problem #1), when I look in the task
manager, there might be five or more instances of outlook.exe running,
though I can only see one.
3. I have a contact that used to have the email address X but I have
changed the address to be Y. When I look at the address in my
contacts, I see it correctly as Y. But whenever I add the contact to
a distribution list, it still uses the old address X. I know it uses
the old one because when I view the distibution list, there's a two-
column list (the left column is the name and the right is the address)
and it shows the old address in the right column. When I send an
email to the distribution list, it sends it to the old address.
Thanks in advance,
John
