Why do messages I send with Outlook 2003 appear in my own Inbox?

[Douglas]

I set up Outlook 2003 a couple of weeks ago to handle my emails, having used
Outlook Express before that. Everything went well of a few days, but now
every time I reply to an email I get a copy of it in my own Inbox as well as
the Sent Items box. It does not happen when I create a new email. How can
I correct this?

Check the following to checkboxes in Outlook.


Tools > Options > Preferences tab > Email Options button. Second checkbox
from top.


Tools > Options > Preferences tab > Email Options button > Advanced Email
Options Button. Second checkbox from the top once again.

Thanks for replying so quickly. Unfortunately, both boxes are already
checked.

What type of mail account are you working with (e.g. POP3, IMAP, Exchange,
Hotmail, .etc)

Hotmail.

It has been a while since I used Hotmail/IMAP, but what I believe what you
are seeing is expected when this one is checked...

That seems to have worked. I am very grateful indeed.
