    I have been asked about an error that occurs when using Reply to answer a received email message. I am told that a message is displayed stating that the Reply has not been sent. However the message is then in the Sent folder. If the message is copied and pasted into a New message it is transmitted with no error and as expected appears in the Sent folder. I asked two questions:

    1. What are the contents of the error message? That was not known.
    2. Has the Reply message been received? Again that was not known.

    I will not be able to access the computer concerned until Monday next. In the meantime I wondered if any one, on the basis of what I have been told so far, have any idea of what might be the cause of the error being experienced.

      One possible scenario is that the user is receiving mail on two accounts (A and and but only one of them (A) has a valid/working outgoing server. When replying to a message on Account A, everything in fine. When replying to a message on Account B, there is an error. The user can work around this by using the Accounts drop-down to reply using Account A to messages received on Account B, or can change the outgoing server information for Account B to send through the working SMTP connection in Account A.

      Or not! You really don’t have much information to go on. grin
