Currently I had a situation where I sent an email to [email protected], but when I receive mail from [email protected], it showed as [email protected], with extra '.com' behind the email address, this just happen within this week. Before this, I didn't change any setting, currently I am using Outlook 2010.

When I checked the email in webmail, it also showed it as [email protected]. It seem that it has nothing to do with Outlook. However, I also tried on Thunderbird 16.0.1, but still the problem is the same.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is the problem caused by the sender or receiver?

P/S: Sender email address display as [email protected] in Gmail account.

Header Message as below:

Please check if you're using a Reply-To: header. This may be the source of the different reply address.

If this is not the case please add the message header for further investigations.

This is just due to the person that owns the @abc.com.tw misconfiguring their email client.

As you will have noticed when you configured outlook and thunderbird, you can put anything you like in the "From" email address when defining an account. This is not verified, it is up to you to get it right (assuming you can set up the other settings manually).

They have entered the wrong address when configuring their email (or their email server is misconfigured).

Just email them and let them alert their IT people, there is nothing you can do at your end, and nothing you can have done to cause this.

  • Hi, probably you are right, the cause might due to the misconfiguring of sender email cleint or mail server faulty. but when they send to my gmail account, the display seem normal, display as @abc.com.tw so do you have any idea?

  • @CHT Not without more details about their environment - something within it is setting the from: address incorrectly, but I couldn't guess what that might be.
