I have done a little investigating and the problem is :

If you have contacts in outlook and use a Display as name in the contact
details. Where it adds the persons real name infront of the email address
which is in brackets. And then you use the contact finder when composing a
new email address. Outlook pastes the name and email in the To field of the
email window.

If you send the email like that it will throw outlook into a loop when you
hit send/receive.

If in fact you type the email in using just the email address outlook does
fine.

Is there any sort of workaround for this. It kind of makes having contacts
useless if you can't use them to compose new emails.

Thank you

There is no thread here. What you post does not make sense. State your issue
and the steps to reproduce it that support your claim. Include all relevant
details. There are none here.

Russ

I recently started having the same looping error, but my data was imported
from my old Outlooik 2003 PST to a band new Outlook 2007 PST.

Everything worked fine, untill today. Now I get the looping error.

I have recently I installed the new Mobile Device Software and re-sync'd my
pda (XDA Orbit). So the cotacts were already in outlook prior to sync. The
PDS was originally populated from Outlook, so there should have been nothing
to update.

Havind read this post (Thanks David - made perfect sense to me), I took one
of the email that was causing the loop, and replaced the outlook inserted
displayname on the To field with the actual email address. The email then
sent fine with no problem...

So there is possibly a link to the sync, but I belive the problem is
outlook's resolving of email addresses from display names (which may have
been caused by the sync / precense of Mobile Device Centre software)

PS: finding and reporting these problem are the reason the 1 year old
versions are stable. All good...

You failed to quote the post and the thread is so old no one could follow
your post. Always quote the posts in a newsgroup.
Importing Outlook data is one of the surest ways to create problems, so be
very detailed when you post back with what you did and why.

Nobody cares about your life lessons. Please don't post if your intentions
are to degrade people instead of trying to help resolve a problem.

No...I really don't care about his rantings. If he has something useful to
add, I'm all ears. I thought b/c he had the MVP next to his name; he might
have something useful to add. Anyway, it's good to see he has a fan club.

I unfortunately was forced to use Outlook 2007 when I purchased my new HP
dv6200 laptop with Vista and I cannot send email from my office. I have
experience a unique situation however, when I use my laptop on the free
servers at the local coffee shop Outlook will send my outgoing email and will
stop when I get back to my office. Could this have something to do with the
outgoing SMTP number 25? I thought that I read something in the past that
indicated that some sites block this number for security reasons. If this is
the case, why is it only being blocked through Outlook 2007 and not 2003?
