I use MS Outlook for business and Outlook Express for personal emails.
The same server services both clients. Today I received an email that
was mailed to my OLE mailbox but showed up in my OL mailbox. I checked
the configuration setting in both clients and they are correct? I'm
wondering where to check for problem? Server or my computer? Any
suggestions?

Are you using the same username/password for the POP server named in each
account, or is a different set?

No. I use seperate and distinct usernames for OL and OLE so that can't
be the problem. The only correllation between the 2 email clients is
that they are both serviced by the same server. But I checked the
header info and didn't see anything unusual that would have caused an
accidental route from the server to the wrong mailbox. Very strange
incident.

Well, there simply is no way Outlook could download a message from the
server unless you accesses the POP server of the receiving account with
Outlook.

I know. That's what makes it strange. Apparently, Since this post I've
had two other emails download to Outlook that should have been routed
to OLE. Yet I'm still getting regular personal emails in OLE so it
appears to be configured correctly. It's as if there is some weird
configuration that selectively picks certain emails to download to
Outlook that should have been routed to OLE. Note that both clients
were/are configured correctly and working fine before the strange
routing began.
