I setup MS Outlook because this Horde thing des not work for me with all the changes Bluehost has made.

MSO looks OK, but E-mails I am trying to send don't go out, or at least don't reach the destination. I looked and looked, but can't find anything setup incorrectly.

Could someone try to help me, please. Btw, I am running MSO 97.

THe other very irritating thing is that I had several mail boxes setp under Horde and now all E-mails for all boxes are displayed regardless of which account I open. As a matter of fact the same thing happens under MSO. All E_mails go into the account I have open, regardless which one it is.

Read some of the other recent threads about the email problems here, and you'll see that BH has made some ill-advised changes which have loused up email for a lot of users.

As far as Outlook settings go, if the messages you try to send are showing up in the "sent" folder in Outlook, and you're not getting any error messages, then they are, in fact, being sent, and Outlook is working properly. If they're not getting to their destination, the problem is at BH, and may well be related to the other email fiasco.

Finally, Outlook can be set up to retrieve your email from one account, or from several accounts. But it doesn't automatically sort them - all incoming messages land in the Inbox together. Outlook Express (a better choice for you, I believe) makes it easy to set up separate identities, to avoid that problem. When you switch identities in OE, the inbox will contain only the messages sent to the email account you've identified with that identity.
