I used to be able to send test emails in Outlook express 6 to myself.
I no longer can. I have Xp,IE6 and Cox Comunications is my isp.
I've searched google with different questions, numerous times, and
couldn't find an answer.

Could be a feature of the way that the Cox SMTP message submission server
works. It is not an MS Outlook Express problem.

Are you putting anything in the subject line when you send a test email? My
ISP switched to a new spam filter, and now any email without a subject won't
be received.

Does your ISP offer web mail access to your mail account? If so, look
for the message there. Be sure to check in any junk mail or spam folder
there. If the message shows up in the Junk folder, then settings on the
web mail are marking it as spam and you need to fix that.

If it makes it to the Inbox on the web mail and then disappears in OE,
check the Deleted Items folder in OE. It's easy to accidentally put a
block sender on yourself in OE. Look at Tools, Messages Rules, Blocked
Senders.

As check your mail message rules.

I didn't realize it but i just noticed it goes to my deleted items
folder.
Then i found my address in blocked senders list. I don't know how it
got there.
Thanks for your help.

You are welcome and thanks for posting back.

It's actually pretty easy to accidentally put a block sender on yourself
or another sender. While viewing a message you just need to do Message,
Block Sender. A lot of people have done that.
