Silly me, sent this via e-mail rather than posting here ....

I read this as "two attempted e-mails sent to your new SpamCop.net
e-mail account" ....

This implies something else.

The 'guess' would be that you have asked JT's servers to retreive
your e-mail from HotMail and your OE client then tries to retreive
your e-mail from JT's servers.  (although this doesn't actually
match the "sent myself to [sic] e-mails" starting sentence)

At this point, I'll state that I am still confused.

Sending e-mail to your SpamCop.net e-mail account is one thing.
Does that actually work?  Specifically, sending an e-mail and then
checking via the WebMail interface to see if it's there.

Retreiving your e-mail from HotMail via JT's servers is a totally
different issue.  Nore data needed to work on this problem.  For
instance, is your account a 'basic' HotMail account or have you gone
'Live' ????

As Mike stated, primary support for SpamCop.net e-mail accounts is
in the Forum ... and there are numerous FAQ entries there about
working with that application.
