I understand what your are saying dragonflygirl. That is exactly what I did.
 There is a funny thing that is happening. At "work-coved" I use my home
email account "optonline account". In outlook I can receive my home emails
and I can send NEW emails out. But if I reply to an email that I already
have or just received it will sit in my outbox, even if I hit send/receive
button. So I thought it may be a problem with the email I just received. So
I would create a new email and send it to the person whos email I just
received, and this would send. It just replying to emails, they don't go
out. So does outlook treat "replied" emails differently than "new" emails?

Thanks
