1st Posting:
Hello there all,
I'm rather new to PC's so excuse if the title Technical User implies otherwise....wasn't sure which title to use really.. I recently have discovered that some people are not getting the e-mails i'm sending while others are. I'm using Outlook2000 on Win2k. I am also using Outlook Express which came with IE5.5, for pop mailing my Hotmail accounts.
I'm using an ISP e-mail service as well as a hosting service e-mail service. The mail that has been going missing has been sent via both of these services. Some of the e-mail addresses I'm sending to are Hotmail and others are ISP's. I'm wondering if there's anything specific I shold be looking out for that might lead me to solve this problem. Any help is greatly welcomed and appreciated in advance.
P.S. Would sending the e-mails via my other OS, WinME, maybe help...? It's on another partition. I imagine that if it's a problem with my e-mail software then via ME might be the alternative for the short term. Thoughts Please..

Just like to add that i also found that one of my folders in Outlook2000 moved to within another folder by itself. Is this normal..?
3rd Posting:
another addition...sent 2 test e-mails to my wife's hotmail account, 1 through my ISP provider and one through my companies server. When my wife checked them they had an attachment that i didn't send. hotmail said that the attachments didn't contain viruses. we saved the atachments to our harddrive and checked them out through properties. they were winmail.dat files. can anyone explain to us what exactly they are..?
Please can anybody help me here...?
