My E-Mail Address Does Not Show Up On The From Line

For some reason, my email address is not showing up on the :from" line and on
occasion my emails are blocked by some servers because that server does not
see a sender's name. Can anyone help me correct this?

Are you speaking of the "From" header an Internet recipient would see or are
you speaking of the From field you can enable showing in a new message
window when composing the message? What version of Outlook? What account
type?

I use Outlook (not Express) 2003 and it is the "from" header another internet
user would see. I had previously enabled the "from" field but it did not
resolve the issue. I am not sure what you mean by what account type?

That's whatever you have defined for the sender informaiton in the account
properties. A combination of the "Your Name" and "E-mail Address" fields.

The From field in a compose window applies only in an Exchange environment.

POP/SMTP, Exchange, IMAP, or HTTP.

OK, then, click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next. Select your account and click
Change. Do you have text in the "Your Name" field and is your email address
correctly specified in the "E-mail Address" field?

I went to Tools> E-mail accounts> next and my correct name is in the "your
name" field and my correct e-mail address in the "user name" field.

Send a message to me. The address with which I post is valid.

Got it. No From line. I've never seen a case where Outlook doesn't add it,
so I can only speculate. Is the outgoing message in your Sent Items folder?
If so, change the view of that folder to be "Messages" (it's usually "Sent
To"). Does your name and address appear in the From column?

The outgoing message was in the "sent" folder. I am not sure I know how to
change the view of that folder to be messages. If I am in the sent message
and select view and then message header, I still have my name and my e-mail
address in the e-mail message. Is this what you are referring to?

Yes. I looked over the incoming message again and it looks like the mail
router is tacking the From header on to th the end of its Received header.
Ask your ISP if there's any way for them to capture the raw message as it
comes into their server so you can see what it looks like there.
