email to myself
Rex
XP, it won't let me. I've "googled" the error message and it seems to be
common....they don't want me to send to me. Any way to do it?

We have no idea what you are running and how you are trying to do this.
Please give us details on your email client and OS/service pack level as if
you can send email to anyone else and if this is the same email
client/account you had when running Windows 98...
I just sent an email to myself through Outlook Express, Outlook 2003,
GMail's Web Interface, Yahoo's web interface, my corporate Outlook Web
Access interface, and AOL's web email interface. I had no problem and i
have Windows XP Professional SP2 with all current patches. I am *not*
utilizing Internet Explorer 7 at this time, however.

using XP SP2, IE7 and Outlook 2003 - sending to myself (via send a test
message) works just fine....

I believe this problem has to be unique to the OP/their setup in some way.
Now we know it should work with IE7 and Outlook 2003 as well. ;-)

Interestingly enough, the same thing has started to happen to me, but I
don't think it's got anything to do with IE7, which I do have installed. XP
Pro, SP2+, etc.. No malware to the best of my ability.
I suspect it's my ISP, Verizon online. I have all my mail, including my
webmail from my site, popped to OE.
From OE I can send myself an email to me ATverizon.net from any address
EXCEPT my meATverizon.net address. Mails elsewhere of course go out fine.
A few weeks ago during a test, I noticed it took until the next day
before the test mails came thru, and now they don't arrive at all.
So, if the OP has VOL, I think that's the source. Others may be doing the
same thing I suppose.
I'm not sure it has anything to do with it, but VOL here has a borked
Received Line. The first Received Line always has a "by 0" as the received
from where it should clearly be a FQDN per RFC 2821. (Fully Qualified
Domain Name).

There is nothing in Windows XP that prevents you from doing this. I often
send myself myself messages.
I can't tell why it doesn't work, but be aware that you've told us nothing
about what E-mail client you are using, or who your ISP is. You also haven't
told us exactly what the error message says. My *guess* is that there is
something in the way you've configured your E-mail client that is causing
the problem, but it can't be any more than a guess unless you provide more
information.

Hate to tell you, Rex - but the problem seems pretty blatant from here...
See the address?
rxh...@yhoo.com
That isn't going to work.
I do not know who yhoo.com is - but I am sure they don't like you trying to
send email through their systems.
Try sending to rxhall<DELETE>@<THIS>yahoo.com...
(notice the 'a'...)
There's not much technology can do against typos of that sort.

Typo alert! That should be "@yahoo.com."

Is this in Outlook Express (which you used to post) or something else?
What happens when you try? I've never had a problem doing that in Outlook
Express.
If there is an error message please give use the complete error message.
